Scores of letters were dispatched, and two hundred and forty­ eight great, great-great, and great-great-great-grandchildren of Captain Fox were discovered. To the proposal that a gathering be held at the home built by Captain Fox in 1807, there was an enthusiastic response; and on Saturday, July 27th, a few weeks after the one hundred and sixty-ninth anniversary of the birth of .John Fox, a large number of his descendants, many from long distances and some from other States, met on the beautiful lawn of the old home, which had long since gone out of the family, but which was graciously lent by the present owner. Many of the descendants were strangers to one another, and tracing the ties of kinship was a thrilling experience. A program of family history and of music and a bountiful picnic dinner promoted better acquaintance. Those who attended this first family party voted to hold a reunion the following year. The second gathering was held on Saturday, June 28, 1930, a:t "Ellington," Hanover Connty, former­ ly the residence of Thomas Henry Fox, the oldest son of Captain John Fox and his second wife, Frances (Woolfolk) Fox. On this occasion an organization was effected under the name "Association of the Descendants of Captain John Fox of King William_ County, Virginia." Since 1930 there have been annual meetings of the clan at different places of interest. As their knowledge of family history and connections increased, ,the members of the Association expressed the wish that they might have the :fads regarding the family recorded in permanent form. This book has been compiled in an effort to gratify that wish. To the many cousins who have graciously sent me copies of family records, I wish to express my sincere thanks; also to the attendants at the State Library and the Virginia Land Office, for X FOREWORD their very patient and kindly help; to my daughter for her valuable assistance as editor and typist; and to all others w:ho by their interest and encouragement have made possible ,the preparation and pub1ication of this volume. Though I have tried very hard to obtain authentic and full information and to avoid errors in its presentation, some flaws may be found. If so, I can only ask pardon and plead good intention and honest effort. E.M. C. Richmond, Virginia, April, 1939. KING WILLIAM COUNTY "Pamu.nkey Neck" was the early name of that section of Tide­ water Virginia which lies between the Mattaponi and the Pamunkey Rivers and w;hich is now known as King William County. I.t is about thirty-two miles in length, aind at its greatest width is eight miles across. Some of the most prominent and aristocratic families in Virginia received ,royal granits and settled on the banks of the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Rivers, and King William is distinguished for the many notable men whom it contributed to the making of the early history of the Colony and of the Commonwealth. King William, as well 3!S King and Queen, was originally a part of New Kent County. Pamunkey Neck and that portion of New Kent whioh lay north of the Pamunkey and York Rivers in 1690 became a separate county known as King and Queen. The follow­ ing year an acre of land, "where the Court House stands," was conveyed to 'the new county by Edmund Tunstall. In 1702, because of the inconvenience suffered by the inhabi­ tants of Pamunkey Neck in crossing .the Mattaponi River to attend court, Pamunkey N eek was made a county and cailled King William. The land on which the firs.t Court House of King William stood was given 'to •the county in 1702 by Henry Fox and Richard Littlepage. In March, 1722, a petition was made w the Council for a new Court House for King William County, "their old Court House being ruinous." Two places were proposed as the site. "Sundry inhabitants" of the county, including Major William Aylett, petitioned that it be built a;t Ay,lett, and Major Aylett offered to assure the land and 'timber for the building. Presumably the other place under consideration was the present site of the Court House. The Governor, ,to whom the matter was referred, decided on Aylett. No record has been found of the actual construction of the building, but evidently the Aylett si,te was not the final choice. -Executive Journals, Council of Colonial Virginia, IV, p. 9. In the report (Bening and Mumford, III, pp. 237, 238) of a case arising out of a judgment rendered in May, 1 771 ( Claiborne Xll KING WILLIAM COUNTY vs. Gregory), and settled in the Supreme Court on November 22, 1808, the following interesting information is to be found: "About the end of the American War [I 782}, the Court House of King William County was consumed by fire, together with a number of its records, and, among the rest, the documents on which this judgment was founded." King William is one of several counties in Eastern Virginia which have had practically all of their earliest records destroyed. Photostat copies have been made of the marred pages collected after the burning of the county clerk's office in 1885. These have been bound, but in their fragmentary state are most tantalizing. A certificate from the Depatt:inent of the Interior, Washington, D. C., was presented to the county in 1937, stating that King William Court House had been selected by the advisory committee of the Historic American Buildings Survey as possessing such ex­ ceptional historical and architectural interest as to be worthy of the most careful preservation and that a record of its present appear­ ance and condition had been deposiited in the Library of Congress. SOME EARLY ANCESTORS OF THE Fox FAMILY OF KING WILLIAM COUNTY, VIRGINIA DE LA WARR-WEST The first La Warr of whom there is record was John la Warr, who during the reign of King John ( 1199-1216) received ratifi­ cation of a grant of the lordship of Bristolton, Gloucestershire, which had been ma:de to him prior to John's coming to the throne. · -Burke, Peerage and Baronetage ( 1901), p. 43 7. Sir Roger la Warr, 3rd Baron, direct descendant of the above­ named John, was summoned to Parliament from August 14, 1362, to June 1, 1363. Sir Roger la Warr distinguished himself in the . war with France, and "shared in the glory of Poictiers," in which the KiD.g of France and the Dauphin were made prisoners. He was survived by two sons and by Joan, a daughter by his second wife, Eleanor, daughter of John, Lord Mowbray. 1 'The illustrious family of Mowbray derived its descent from Roger de Mowbray, "one of the leaders of the Norman Army which achieved the conquest of England." John, J.ord Mow­ bray, married Joan, daughter of Henry, Earl of Lancaster.­ Burke, Peerage and Barone/age, pp. 1095, 1096, 1097. The name of Roger de Mowbray is on rhe Roll of Battle Abbey. The English take much pride in tracing back to the Roll of Battle Abbey.--Brown, Genesis of the United States, II, p. 808; Burke, Peerage and Baronetage, p. 1095. There is in the Virginia State Library a framed facsimile of the jHagna Charla made by "Express Permission from the original Document in the British Museum," wi:th the Seals of the King's Securities to Magna Charla and Shields of the Barons in Arms on the margin. Among these is the shield of Baron William de Mowbray, with his arms and name. He was one of the twenty-five barons who were "securities" for the Magna Charta. "On Sabbath, June 9 [1938], in the parish church of Egham in Surrey [England], the heraldic shields of the 25 sureties for 2 SOME FOX TRAILS IN OLD VIRGINIA Magna Charta were dedicated. Four of these were donated by American societies. It was near this church that the 25 barons compelled King John, in 1215, to sign the Magna Charta which is counted as the foundation of.- our Iiberation."-Christian Conservator.
