    1. [FOX] Re: Matilda Fox and Wm. L. Vannoy
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/GKX.2ACIB/6969.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Thank you for your message. I feel like I hit the jackpot. I believe this is the Matilda Fox and William Vannoy that I'm looking for. My brother-in-law is a descendant of William H. "Billy" Fox and Cora Brewster, Jason Brewster and Matilda Clark. The family story was that Billy Fox was originally born a Vannoy, but his father did something so terrible that his mother and he changed their name to Fox. We also had been told that both mothers of Cora and William were named Matilda. We also heard of the Cherokee heritage. I also noticed a Matilda Fox and William Vannoy listed as pioneers of Claiborne County, Tennessee just south of Knox Co. Kentucky. Are these the same? Thanks again.
