Hello Edward,My family were Foxwells from Cornwall.What do you want to know?I pretty much have all of it, thanks to my very industrious sister.My maternal grandmother was Jessamine Pearl Foxwell who married Thomas Edwin Phillips of Truro, Cornwall in 1907.Her parents were william Foxwell (b.21 JUly 1842 and married Fidelia Adelaide Crites (known as Delia) b.10 April 1851. William was born in Caledonia, Racine, WI and Delia was b. in Honey Creek, Walworth, WI.William was in the Wisonsin Cavalry during the Civil War, and at the end of the war actually served under Custer in a "mop up" action in Texas. I have a photo of William in his cavalry uniform.
