Misc. Notes
Anson Carnarius Fox was born in Marlborough, Connecticut, in 1787 to Abraham Fox and Lydia Kneeland Fox.
Anson’s grandmother, Hannah Blish, and her brothers, Sylvannus and Benjamin, were among the first settlers in Marlborough in the 1740s. Anson’s grandfather Edward Kneeland, and Edward’s brother John, were also early residents of the area.
The town of Marlborough was carved from pieces of Hebron, Glastonbury, and Colchester, but was not officially incorporated until 1803. Anson grew up near and may have been named after his second cousin, Anson Hollister, who was about five years older. Anson Fox’s brother Abraham was about 13 years older and relocated to Hadley, Massachusetts, as an adult with their parents. This Abraham named his son Jesse Anson after his brother.
Anson was close to many of his maternal cousins. Anson grew up with his second cousins Asa Kneeland, Amasa Kneeland, Warren Kneeland, John Kneeland, Mary Polly Kneeland (all grandchildren of John), and Silas Blish (son of Sylvannus) in Marlborough. Together they settled in Marcellus, New York, traveling along the Greenwood Road and Seneca Turnpike sometime before 1807. Anson later named a daughter after his cousin Mary Polly.
Anson’s father, Abraham, had served in the Connecticut Continental Army with his brother Joel Fox, his second cousins David and Lemuel Fox, and Jonathan Kneeland, the father of Asa, Amasa, Warren, John, and Mary Polly. Abraham’s Second Regiment and Joel and Jonathan’s Third Regiment fought in the New York and New Jersey Campaign. Anson’s son, Joel, was named after his uncle.
David Fox and Lemuel Fox also joined Anson on his move from Marlborough to Onondaga County, New York. They settled in Otisco and Camillus, which are adjacent towns to Marcellus.
Anson married Susannah Mingus in 1807 and had a son Charles in Marcellus. Marcellus was a part of the Central New York Military Tract of land set aside for veterans of the Revolutionary War.
Warren Kneeland married Susannah Mingus's niece Elizabeth Fitzgerald in Marcellus in 1809.
The completion of the War of 1812 opened northwest Ohio to settlement for the first time. In 1815, the Fox family traveled with Susannah’s father, Hieronimus Mingus, along the Great Genesee Road to Eldridge (later renamed Berlin Heights), Ohio.
Silas Blish’s son, Asa, and his nephew, Joel Blish, settled in nearby Bronson, Ohio, before 1825.
Anson lived on a farmstead in Berlin Heights until his death in 1874.
According to the History of Erie County: "She was one of the youngest among eight children born to Anson and Susan (Mingus) Fox, both of whom were natives of Connecticut, and came during the decade of the 20s to Ohio and bought a tract fo the fire lands situated in what is now the northern part of Berlin Township. They secured this quarter section direct from the government, and thus were original occupants of this noted district in Northern Ohio. As early settlers they possessed all the more prominent characteristics of the true pioneer type. Their first home was a log cabin and it required years of self-sacrifice and toil to provide the comforts which they handed on to succeeding generations. In the early days their home was surrounded by the primeval forest through which roamed the Indians and all kinds of wild game and animals, and they enacted the rugged and simple annals of courageous frontier people. A number of the Fox family were Spiritualists in religion."
