Personal Notes:
ISAAC ALEXANDER FOX – born 26 May 1838 at Sea 29 degrees 22’ south 37 degrees 37’ east. My grandfather Frederick Young Fox senior did not remember him but states that George told him that Isaac had an affair at Goulburn at an early age with a girl whom Isaac Senior did not approve of. He left or was banished form the family home and his father never spoke to him again, although on one occasion they did meet. Isaac Junior was reputed to be an excellent horsemen and a good judge of horses. He is thought to have moved to north Queensland and although he contacted his older brother, George, no record remains. These contacts were made during the period 1860 and 1880.

Editor’s Note: Peter Fox contacted Fran Steel, a great granddaughter of Isaac Alexander Fox’s and she has supplied the following information which is summarised as follows:

Isaac Alexander Fox was a pioneer of Proserpine, North Queensland. He was baptised in the Parish of St Andrews, Sydney on 15 July 1838, just two weeks after arriving in Australia. He was born on “The John” about 400 nautical miles east of Durban on 26 May 1838. An article in the Proserpine Guardian dated 17 December 1947 tells us a little of his life.

Isaac Fox: Came in 1882 and founded Foxdale. He raised a fairly large herd of cattle form which he kept two bullock teams fully employed hauling timber which was shipped from the Proserpine River wharf to Rooney’s mill at Townsville. His two teams and C Hyden’s horse team did the first clearing and ploughing in Proserpine for O’Connell and Glen Isla. It was Fox’s bullocks that ploughed the big lagoons later known as Chapman’s gully through which the Proserpine River is now cutting a new bed. Fox’s cattle roamed everywhere and early settlers of Preston say they were authorised to kill a fat bullock when they wanted one but they had to bring the hide and £1 to Fox. Mr Fox also had a few stools of cane, which WJ Brown of Preston planted out for him in 1894. Mr and Mrs Fox’s family and descendants are among our well-known and respected residents.

The same article mentions Isaac and George Fox carting cane together in 94/95 and that Isaac Alexander was involved with a bullock team caring freight. His children’s birth certificates show his occupation a carrier and farmer.

Isaac Alexander Fox married Mary Anne O’Neill who was born on 25 November 1844 and died eleven months after her husband, on 26 July 1919. Isaac and Mary had five sons and three daughters. Their children are as follows: Isaac (b 1871 – d 24302.1893), George (b 1872), Mary Ann (b 1874 – d 07.09.1879), Edith Marian (b 29.02.1876 – d 07.08.1917), Ann Elizabeth (b 1879 – d 19.01.1930), Martin Alexander (b 06.04.1883), John William (b 06.04.1883 – d 30.01.1884), Lawrence Edward (b 07.02.1885 – d 20.08.1974). Isaac Alexander died on 30 August 1918.
