Thomas Fox of Concord appears to have been a man who stood well among his neighbors and was evidently educated above the average. Although "feeble and weak in body" he signed his will with his own hand, his name being neat and legible. His descendants may be congratulated that their first ancestor in America did not have to make his X mark.
