  • George Fox was born in 1734 in Kingwood, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He was the son of George and Mary Fox.

    He married Mary Wood, the daughter of Joseph Wood and Mary Scul in 1751 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 

    When his father died he inherited five acres next to the plantation that he lived on. 

    He mentioned two sons in his will. George Fox was born about 1757 and was a Revolutionary War soldier and there was also a Charles.

    His will was recorded on June 25, 1760. His widow Rachel was named sole Executrix. The will was witnessed by Malakiah Bonham, Joshua Waterhouse, John Johnson and Gabriel Fox.

    Hunterdon County was originally part of Burlington County, West Jersey. It was set off from Burlington County on March 11, 1714. It included Amwell, Hopewell, and Maidenhead Townships. From 1714 until 1739 when Morris County was formed, Hunterdon County embraced a vast territory including all, or nearly all, of the present counties of Mercer, Hunterdon, Morris, Warren, and Sussex. In 1816, Maidenhead was renamed Lawrence and it became part of Mercer County in 1838.
