Anne West was born about 1655 in West Point, Virginia Colony, the daughter of Colonel John West II and Ursula Croshaw West. [1] She was the sister of Captain Nathaniel West. Anne's father was the nephew of Thomas, 3rd Lord Delaware. She is a direct descendant of Henry III, King of England. Her mother was the granddaughter of Raleigh Croshaw.[2]
Anne married Henry Fox Sr., son of John Fox and Margaret Thomas.[3] They may have had the following children:
A debate continues over whether or not Richard is the child of Henry and Anne. Richard married Hannah Williamson. Richard and Hannah are mentioned in Henry's will. The Fox DNA Project claims it has confirmed his haplotype and reports he was not the descendant of Henry Fox and Anne West.[5] A review of the original records reveal that Richard is actually the son of John Fox.
Henry Fox was the first of the Fox Family to patent lands and establish a home in what is now King William County. Henry also received land in Gloucester County in 1683. [6]
Anne died in 1708 in New Kent, Virginia Colony.[7] Her descendants are among the families that settled the southern colony of South Carolina. [8]
