Notes:

Mark was the fourth son of: Adam Fox and Elizabeth Derrick. He married Anna Dickey about 1818-19, shortly after her arrival in Sevier County. Anna was from the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and was the daughter of John and Phoebe (Daniels) Dickey.
Mark was a farmer and owned land south of his father's place near Bird's Cross Roads. During the Civil War, Mark was killed by Confederate soldiers because of his Union sympathies, The story of Mark's death at the hands of the Confederate is included In Edward R. Walker III's Tales From The Civil War:
"In 1862 or 3 a company of Rebel soldiers made a raid down the Newport road. Near where Seldon Hill lived, a mountaineer took: a shot at them, wounding their doctor in the arm. That made them mad. They continued on down the road. Just west of Haskew's Chapel in Chestnut Hill, an old negro, Findley Patterson lived. He saw them coming and took leg-bail. and saved his hide. At Bird's Grass Roads, the Rebels went south 2 or 3 hundred yards to where Mark Bird, my grandfather (John's) brother lived. They shot Mark (Bird) and set his house on fire. In the meantime, Grandfather Fox had started to Chestnut Hill to get some news of the war. After the killing of Uncle Mark (Bird), the Rebs went on down the road. Uncle Joe Shrader saw them and hid in a large brush pile on top of the hill where Aunt Edna Fox lived. The Rebs and Grandfather (Fox) met opposite Uncle Joe, who could see and hear all they said and all they did. (The Rebs) began to curse and abuse Grandfather for being a Union(ist). He gave them a bawling out, then the commanding officer gave orders to shoot (Grandfather Fox) and all the other men they saw. After the Rebs had gone on, Uncle Joe went on home and sent some of his children to tell (my) mother (Charlotte Fox) and sisters Rebecca,
Phoebe and Emily). They took a horse and sled and went after (Grandfather Fox). Their only brother (Mathias or Branson) was a prisoner of: war. All other Union(ists) had to hide out regardless of age."
The preceding story was submitted by Thomas de Arnold Byrd of Florence, Texas as told to him by his mother, (Charlotte Fox Bird!.
Mark died without a will. In 1874, Simon and Charlotte Bird brought suit against Mathias Fox to force a division of Mark's estate among surviving descendants. The court ordered the 227 acre farm to be sold at auction and Mathias bought the farm for $800. Named in the various court documents were Charlotte and Simon Bird, Rebecca C. Fox, Phebe Fox, Mathias Fox, Emily and Samuel Shrader, Melvina Fox, Rebecca J. and James Bird, Mary J. and Washington Shrader and William B.G. or G.B. Fox, James Mathias Fox, John Fox, Amanda E. Fox, Hester Ann Fox, Thomas Nelson Fox, Taylor Fox, Eveline Fox, Charles Fox and unnamed infant Fox. William B.G. Fox was not located.
