From an ancestry.com message -
"I have evidence indicating that Anna (Fox) Ritter was the daughter of Enoch Fox and Christiana Sechler, and granddaughter of Henry Fox and Mary Richards. Mary Richards was sister to my gggg-grandfather James Richards. Henry Fox was a farmer in Hemlock Twp., Columbia County, Pa. in the early 1800s. It appears that Enoch and his brother James took over the farm after Henry's death."
