Henry Fox
On 04 APR 1833 Henry Fox bought Macomb land and then again in 1835. I can't find Hnery in 1850 and wonder if he is even still alive. There is a Henry living in St. Clair in 1840 and 1850. The Henry in St Clair says he is b in MI in 1808 and his wife Mary says she was b in MI in 1815. Their children Lewis and Mary both 16, Hannah 12, Oscar 10 and Dora 8 are all b in MI.
In 1860 they have moved to Macomb and Mary is listed as Male Farmer b in NY. Go figure. They live next door to the Colon family (hahaha). They have a 25 yo Henry (lewis?), Oscar is 18 and now there is a Francis who is b in 52 and a Manda b in 1855. Manda and Oscar are living together in 1870. Mary married MR. Bell and died in Charlevoix in 1882 of Lung Fever.
