FOX, James Kellogg Polk, b abt 1813 Clermont Co, OH?; m
Rebecca/Rebekah Wills in IN. Her parents were George
Wills and Sarah Jane Moore from KY. They sold land to
James and Rebekah before going on to Willsburg, OR. Land
transaction recorded in Brazil, IN. James and Rebekah's
daughter Elizabeth married Frances Marion Quinnett. James
KP Fox had a sister Sarah Jane Fox who married a Hesser
in IA. James, Rebekah and Sarah Jane are buried in Warren
Powers Cemetery, Polk Co, IA. I am looking for exact date
of James' birth and names of parents. Some people believe
that James was an Indian possibly of the Fox/Sac tribe/s.
Census of Polk Co, IA lists his birth place as OH but no
proof. There is a Clermont IA. James and Rebekak had a
son Van Delishman Fox who was a doctor. He died visiting
a patient and was killed by his runaway horse. Nancy Fox
married Charles Quinnett, brother of Frances Marion
Quinnett. Any information on James Kellogg Polk Fox would
be appreciated.
