Information found to date has used either the surname Fox or the surname Craig (and variant spellings such as Crage, Cragg etc). The surname Fox is used exclusively in the American records. Frederick (c1815 - ) and Eliza (c1817 - ) lived in St Ewe/St Mewan/St Austell parishes of Cornwall, England. They had at least eight children: 1. Thomas (c1840 - ) 2. Mary (c1842 - ), possibly married James Henry Searle 3. Fanny (c1843 - ) married William H Eustice 4. Eliza (c1846 - ) 5. Agnes (c1849 - ) 6. Frederick (c1851 - ) 7. Harriet (c1853-1885) married Richard E Hicks 8. Catherine/Kate (c1856 - ) Frederick died sometime between 1861 and 1871 in Cornwall. Eliza and at least 5 of her children (Thomas, Mary, Fanny, Frederick and Harriet) immigrated to the United States at various times throughout the period 1861 - 1880. - Thomas, Fanny & Frederick appear in the 1870 census for West Fairlee, Orange County, Vermont. Eliza, Mary and Harriet must have immigrated sometime later as they are all recorded in the 1871 census for St Austell Parish, Cornwall. - Eliza and four of her children (Thomas, Mary, Fanny & Harriet) and their families are recorded in the 1880 census for Ely, Orange County, VT. No record of Frederick after the 1870 census was taken has been found to date. Sometime after the 1880 census was taken, the families left Vermont. - Thomas and his family went to Morris County, New Jersey - Mary & James Searle and their family went to Worcester County, Massachusetts sometime prior to 1888 - Widow Fanny Eustice and her children went to Hartford Co, Connecticut sometime between 1888 and 1890 - Harriet & Richard Hicks and their family went to Montreal, Canada sometime before 1883 - No record of mother Eliza has been found after the 1880 census I am very interested in sharing/trading information regarding any or all of these families.
