Francis Fox of St Germans : ウィキペディア英語版 | Francis Fox of St Germans Francis Fox of St Germans was the progenitor of a vast clan of people called "Fox", notable in many fields of enterprise, science and the arts. He was an early convert to the Quaker faith, to which many of later generations were also true. ==Origins== Burke, in his ''History of the commoners'',〔John Burke ''A genealogical and heraldic history of the commoners'' (1838) Volume 4, p.314. (Available online at GoogleBooks )〕 states "that the numerous families of Fox at present residing in the West of England sprang from one common ancestor, a Francis Fox, who married 1646, Dorothy Kekewich." Tradition represents him to have come from Wiltshire (it is said from the parish of Farley or that of Pitton), somewhere in 1645, during the commotions of the civil war. He is stated to have been descended from the same family as the celebrated Sir Stephen Fox, ancestor of the Earls of Ilchester and the Lords Holland. It is likewise handed down that he was one of seven or eight sons, and that others of the same family also came into Devonshire and Cornwall, settling at Plymouth and Looe, but left no sons who survived.〔Revised genealogical account of the various families descended from Francis Fox ''for a full citation, see ''Sources'' above''.〕
