Trying to find the Fox family in England/NC/NY
Fox is my middle name (and my father’s and his father’s) so I’d love to find out more about the Fox family.
I’m looking for two sisters who were born in North Carolina (and their parents):
Leonora Louisa Fox was born in Greensboro, NC, most likely on 13 Sept 1846, although I’ve found one (undocumented) source that puts her birth in the mid-1850’s. She married Arthur Moffat Allen on 4 Nov 1876 in Philadelphia, PA. They lived in New York City with Arthur’s family and had three sons: Richard Fox (b.1877), John Trevette (b.1880) and Arthur Gilbert (b.1885). I don’t know when Leonora died, but her husband died in 1925.
Helen Louise Fox was born in Wilmington, NC on 5 July 1854. Around 1893, she married her sister’s husband’s youngest brother, John Little Moffat Allen. They lived in the New York City area, and Helen may have worked as either an artist or as an art teacher. John died in 1912 and Helen died sometime after 1935.
The sisters’ parents were Richard Fox and Sarah Guilbert. According to the daughters’ 1880 census records, both Richard and Sarah were born in England, although I suspect that Sarah may have been born in North Carolina. Richard and Sarah were most likely married in Greensboro NC in 1845, but they may have been married in 1853 in Wilmington.
If anyone has any light to shed on the sisters or the parents, I’d appreciate the help.
