Individual Details

It's possible that this man was H. M. David Fox, born 22 Jun 1846, Jackson Co and died 17 Jul 1935 at age 89 in Putnam Co. His death certificate gave his father's name as Henry Fox; his mother's name was unknown. In the censuses, etc. in Putnam Co he was simply referred to as David Fox. The fact that he named a son Byrd Anderson Fox would seem to connect him to the Fox families in Jackson Co. He was listed simply as Henry in his father's household in 1850 & 1860 - most of the other children had middle initials.

Other facts known are that Byrd Fox gave the information for the death certificate of H. M. David Fox. David was at the time of death widowed, his wife's name listed as "Crick McBroom". He was buried McBroom Cemetery. Byrd Anderson Fox was born 10 Nov 1866, died 16 Apr 1945 at age 78. He was at that time widowed. His parents were given as David Fox & Elizabeth McBroom [Lizzie, the wife in 1900, is consistent with this name but David seemed to have a first wife, Mary, who would have been Byrd's mother.] Byrd was apparently married to Sarah Founas Fox, born in 1869, who had died 15 Mar 1939 of pneumonia. She was the daughter of Thomas Davidson, her mother not known. Her spouse was listed as B. A. Fox on her death certificate. Both Byrd & Sarah were buried in the Oddfellows Cemetery, Putnam Co.
