Thomas Fox, in his own words |
| If he could speak to us today, Thomas Fox might describe his life as follows. |
 |
|
A member of the London Company in 1608, I owned vessels that sailed from England to the New World. Departing with English goods for our Colonists, we returned with tobacco. |
|
I was dead by 1625 when associates in Virginia arranged to liquidate my operations on that end and send the proceeds to my widow, Elizabeth, in England. |
|  |
|
This is the order to the provost marshall.  As these men did not otherwise distinguish Elizabeth Fox, we presume she was the widow of their associate Thomas Fox. |
