- "Janurary 1753 in Morris County, New Jersey is alternate Birth information for Joseph. Also regarding his birth and descent is the rumor that he was a Native American of the Fox tribe. I cannot find any information to support this in any way at this time. His military career also makes this seem less plausible and his first marriage more romantic."

- "Joseph was A. Revolutionary War Veteran. At the beginning of the war, he enlisted in the Eleventh Virginia Regiment. He served throughout the war under Washington. and spent the cold winter of 1777-78 with the Army at Valley Forge. He took part in several battles, such as Stony point, Monmouth and Yorktown. After the close of the war in 1783, he migrated to Greene County, and settled on a farm in Perry township on what is now known as Fox Run.
John Haines who was A. Fox descendant and Regina Epler Rice of Tallmadge, Ohio, who is a great, great, great granddaughter of Joseph Fox, furnished information that Joseph Fox was the son of John Peter Fox (Johannes Pieter Fuchs II). Charles S. Fox in his book "Joseph Fox his descendants and related families" furnishes information and maintains that Joseph Fox was descended from Issac Fox a totally different clan of Fox's.
"Now I can't say what vessel our fore parents crossed the ocean on. My great, great, great grandfather (Johannes Pieter Fuchs I) came from England. and settled in New Jersey. My great grandfather (Joseph Fox) was born there June 1758, 101 years before I was born June 1854. The government gave him (Joseph) 100 acres of land in Pennsylvania. for his services in the Revolutionary War. Tehere on that farm (in Pennsylvania.) my grandfather ( Martin Fox0 was born. Moved toVirginia.. (West Virginia) when father (Martin Peter Fox) was 13 years old (1838)."
Letter of Franklin Pierce Fox dated 12 November 1936 to his daughter, Clara Malissa (Fox) Kelly. Regina Epler Rice of Tallmadge, Ohio, a granddaughter of Franklin Pierce Fox added the items in parentheses."
