- Note: According to Aldo BROCHET: Theophile, a longtime settler of Perce, was appointed Justice of the Peace there. He and Dr. Longmore began smallpox vaccinations there in 1803. Marthe and Theophile later petitoned the Crown for land for eachof their children. In the name of daughterRosalinde, they petitioned for 1,000 acres of land at Cape Despair, 2 Sep 1810. Philip Fox was included for a like amount of land at the samelocation 2 Sep 1810. Theophile Fox, possibly Irish-born,converted fromAnglicanism in his last years, donating a huge lot to the Fabrique St-Michel. History lost track of the two sons, while much of the Fox heritage at Perce is later found with his daughter Matilde's descendants, who married intothe Driscoll, Walsh,Bunton, Lamb, Boulet, and Tanguay lineages and who were respondents in a suit launched by Judge Peter Winterfor the monetary share of his late first wife, Genevieve "Jane" Moriarty (1817-1870).
