Research Notes for JOHANN WILLIAM FOX

He left Fuchsendorf in the Schoharie Valley ca 1723 and settled on lot #7 of the Francis Harrison Patent on Garoga Creek where he operated a grist mill and farmed. Per deed dated 7/9/1779 he left northern portion of the land to son Philip on condition he pay 1/2 of net profits of the grist mill to them as long as they lived. The 200 acre balance went to son George. The buildings were all burned down 10/19/1780 by Tories and Indians, but the Palatine Stone Church across the road did not get burned because the Nellis's who went to Canada had built it,. After the Revolutionary War was over the buildings were rebuilt
