Hello Sue, Where did you get your dates for William Miles Fox 1807-1877? Your .ancestor S B Fox (Samuel Bolen, son of William M) reported his death in May 1876 in Fayette Co.,WV and listed his age as 73 and parents as John & Lucy. The 1830-1850 census of William M match this age. The 1860 & 1870 do not. The 1860 census of Fayette in one area has a lot of wrong ages listed. Some people even lost a few years from t he 1850 census. I guess this was from the people giving the information for a household or from the judgment of the census takers. The land on which the cemetery is located actually probably belonged to John Fox Sr before he willed it to William Miles Fox. In John's will he leaves the 108 acres to William M and it is listed in the will as along the Chestnutburg Road. William M's heirs/children sell this land in May 1877. This is the same 108 acres. There were only two rough hand carved stones for Foxes above ground and one below ground there in the cemetery. W M Fox (William Miles) was at the top of the hill and one for a J Fox under the ground but found when unearthed was a few spaces to the left of W M Fox. The S Fox down the hill is the Sarah Wood Fox 2nd wife of John Fox Jr. She was the daughter of Elijah Wood and Rachel Honaker. In the heirs deed of William M Fox the 108 acres of land is listed as bordering Elijah Wood's. The other Foxes in unmarked areas are probably John and Lucinda Mathews Fox's children and some of their spouses. The children being Harrison A Fox and wife Catherine Wood, John Fox Jr and his two wives both of which were Woods with one of them having a stone down the hill, Joseph Fox the son that died in 1846 before his father made his will in 1847, and maybe James Madison Fox. I am sure some of the daughters including Mahala Cole, Nancy Shanahan, Elizabeth Jane Skaggs, and Mary Jane Martin may be candidates also. Felix A Wood, son of Amos Wood & Susan Parrish, already had a Gov't Confederate Civil War stone marking his grave there. This has been up a while. Was it damaged? Are they putting up a new stone for him or is this a ceremony to honor him? I have digital video of his marker from two years ago. Hope to see everyone at the reunion and dedications on Sunday.
