This Samuel Fox, born 1681,[1], is "the Elder" of two half-brothers, both of whom married and had families. The nicknames arose in their own time, were used by their father in his will, and remain useful.
First marriage was to Margaret Stebbins (not always spelled that way)[2], and all the children result from that union.
Second marriage, late in life, was to Zipporah, daughter of John Bolles, on 27 April 1753, [3] [4]
Samuel Fox the Elder and Margaret Stebbins Fox had, in Montville:[4], [3], [5]
This profile formerly was linked to a putative spouse named Margaret Brintnal. William F. Fox[3] calls that attribution 'a manifest error' made by (long-time Town Clerk) Henry Augustus Baker.[5]. In view of no supporting evidence of spousal relationship (or even the existence of such Margaret Brintnal), the link has been removed.
Samuel Fox the Elder died in 1754 in Montville, where he was buried. He made his will in 1753, naming Daniel Coit and Nathaniel Comstock as executors.[4] The will mentioned (second) wife, Zipporah; children, Bathshua, Margaret, Content, Amy, Caron, Ezekiel, and Samuel, but did not mention the names of the husbands of his daughters.
