He remained on this farm nineteen years, bought adjoining lands and made many improvements. While living in western New York he made four trips to the west. In one of these he sold his military lands in Illinois, as he had little expectation that they would rise in value during his life, and the taxes were beginning to be a burden. The sum realized was but a few hundred dollars. Those lands are probably worth from one to two hundred thousand dollars at present. In 1841 Fox went to Iowa with his brother-inlaw, John Ives. The Ives family were now as eager to make a home on the western prairies as Fox had been in 1827. The trip to Iowa resulted in a decision to sell the property at the east and invest all that could be realized from it in western lands. In the fall of 1842 Fox went back to Iowa and purchased several hundred acres of land. In 1846 he sold the farm in western New York and removed to Lee county, Iowa, bought a half section of land, where he made his home and resided during the remainder of his life. In 1853 he bought a large tract of prairie land in Def Moines county at government price. This last purchase was nearly all sold a few years after by his, children and grandchildren at 25 and 30 per acre and is now worth 50 or 60. William Fox was a man of great energy and industry. He was enterprising, but the misfortunes of early life had made him cautious and prudent. He was not one who made a display of the affection he felt for his family, but was ever mindful of their welfare, and by prudence and industry was able to make a fair provision for each of them. He was a man of more than usual intelligence. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.
