Fox Family Cemetery / Burials Records in Philadelphia
For more information, visit my website. www.stewartfoxfamilyhistory.com
Samuel Fox originally purchased a cemetery lot in the Philadelphia Cemetery in 1832. Presumably, it was to bury John M. Fox on March 21, 1832. John M. Fox had died and been buried at St. Michael's and Zion Luthern Church, but was disenterred March 20, 1832.
The Philadelphia Cemetery changed hands and became Ronaldson's Cemetery, Philadelphia. Ronalson's became neglected and all the graves were moved to Forest Hill cemetery. All that exists at Forest Hill is a mass grave with one monument designating that area as the former Ronaldson's cemetery. The office of Forest Hill has a burial record book containing the burial records from Ronaldson's including the records of the Samuel Fox family burials (see image following the burials listing).
The Calculated Birth Date in the following table is based on the age at death that is shown in the original burial record.
Here is a copy of the burial records for the Samuel Fox plot at Ronaldson's Cemetery. Click on the image to enlarge it.
