Lisa, Thank you for posting the St. Benedict Fox information. I found some of my collaterals and also some mistakes. There are members of more than one Fox family buried at St. Benedict. Some of them are descendants of Francis Xavier Fuchs/Fox. Francis X. was born in Bavaria abt 1813. He married Crescentia Ruchte in 1854 at St. Benedict's. She died in Apr 1860. In the1860 federal census F. X. was living in Susquehanna Twp. with his daughter Anna, age 14 and also born in Bavaria. Unknown whether her mother died in Bavaria or Cambria Co. F. X. made his declaration of intent in Sep 1857 and was naturalized in Sep1859 . In 1860 Anna was also enumerated in the household of Aloysius Gehringer. In 1861 F. X. married Crescentia Gehringer, d/o Aloysius. They had three or four children: Francis Aloysius, b. 29 Apr 1861, married Mary Emma McCombie in 1887, died 1918; Maria Victoria, b. 3 Feb 1863 d. 15 Mar 1883; Joseph Francis, b. 16 Jan 1865, married Barbara Ellen Stuby 24 Apr 1886, married Gertrude (Breth) Luther abt 1903, married Stella McDermott aft. 1921, d. 1929; John Fox who may or may not exist. He is *not* mentioned in his mother's obit in 1924, but he is mentioned in the obit of his half-brother, Peter Martin Reffner, in 1929. John may be Joseph Fox. No records have been found for him other than the mention in Peter's obit. These are the Foxes of Foxburg near St. Benedict village along Hwy 219 between Carrolltown and Spangler.
