Sally X --I agree with you. KY Source: Russell County Death Records for 1852-1858, 1874, 1878, 1903-1904. shows Jason Fox and Frances listed as parents for John Fox Sr in d records for 17 Jun 1852. Abraham and Martha (Couch) Fox were in CT.----Carol

John Fox born about 1776 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is probably NOT the son of Martha (Couch) Fox. She was married and resided in Glastonbury, Hartford, Connecticut

Hays-336 Greg Hays
Fox-3734 and Fox-6140 appear to represent the same person because: same dates and places of birth and death; spouse appears to be in common with previous marriage
