*****
John Fox was born near Leeds, Yorkshire, Eng., June 7, 1824. When he was but six months old, his father, also John Fox, was killed in a mill. His mother was subsequently married to Dennis Cockshott. The subject of this sketch grew to manhood in his
native country, where in his youth he learned the milling trade in the same mill in which his father was killed. In 1854, accompanied by his half brother, Spencer Cockshott, he immigrated to the United States and came directly to Jerseyville, where
they were joined one year later by their mother and sister. Here Mrs. Cockshott died in September 1855. Mr. Fox soon after moved to Grafton and went ot work in the flouring mills where he continued fourteen or fifteen years. He then returned to
Jerseyville, and has since been retired from active life, having accumulated a fortune sufficient for comfort during his later years. Mr. Fox was married in 1877 to Mrs. Kate c. Marsh nee Richards. She had by her former marriage two sons, John T. and
Stewart C. Mr. and Mrs. Fox have one son, Marmaduke. Mr. Fox is a member of the Episcopal church and his wife is a Baptist. He is politically a democrat and has served several years in the city council. [1885 History of Jersey County, Illinois]
