Well, that clears something up. The references to Fox, in Cornwall, I did not
understand; I understood that George Fox was from England. But, it appears to
have not been George Fox that was the subject of the Fox issue.

From my research, George Fox was from Leicestershire (1643, when he was 19, the
night in his parents' house, when he struggled with his problem).
