Individual Details

Although 1749 is given for the birthyear of Isham, it is incorrect. He may have been born later than that year. In 1777, his siblings sold the land Isham had inherited in his father's will because Isham had died before he reached the age of 21, without isuue. Richard Fox's will was written in 1771 and obviously Isham was not yet 21 at that time so he was born sometime in the 1750's, perhaps even later.

Strangely there is a deed of 10 February of 1777 when Isham Fox witnessed a deed for his brother Richard. [A young man age 14 could witness deeds at that time.] The deeds of sale for his property after his decease were dated 7 Feb 1777. Would seem to be an error in one of these records.
