Biography

Ann/Anna Fox married John Riant/Ryant sometime before 1757, possibly in East Haddam, CT. They were living in East Haddam in 1759 and then 'moved north' (probably c. 1763) , to Campton, Grafton County, NH, with Isaac Fox , uncle to Ann Fox.

Ann was the daughter of Thomas Fox and Margaret (unknown surname).

In 1773, her husband John Riant built the first settlement on Mount Cilley (North Woodstock, Grafton County) ^[1]

From Thomas Fox of Concord:

Thomas* Fox, Isaac,^ Samuel,^ was born about 1709. His wife's name was Margaret. He died before 1763, for in that year Abner Beebe, as his administrator, asked permission to sell real estate to pay his debts. On January 5, 1728-9, Isaac Fox of Colchester makes a deed of gift to his son, Thomas Fox, of twenty acres of land in East Haddam, " east side of Eight Mile River, near Lyme bounds." Thomas sold this land to his " brother John Fox " on August 24, 741, Thomas* and Margaret Fox had two children only: Joseph and Ann. … He moved to Colchester, and thence to East Haddam, where he died in 1763. His wife, Margaret, survived him. They had two children, Joseph and Ann. Joseph died before his father, leaving Catherine Fox as his only heir. The record of the distribution of the property of Thomas Fox, on file in the office of the Judge of Probate, Colchester, Conn., speaks of Joseph as being the eldest and only son ; and of Ann as the only daughter. Ann was a married woman at the time of her father's death.
