AMOS SIMMONS FOY:

AMOS SIMMONS FOY, son of FREDERICK FOY, JR, was born in New Bern,
North Carolina, some claim, about the year 1809 or 1810. Others claim he was

preserved by the descendants of AMOS contain differing dates. He died
February 14, 1861 in Texas, less than one year after the 1860 census was taken.
