The Quaker, George Fox, was not born in Cornwall, so he was not a Cornishman. He was born in the seventeenth century. Two centuries after that there was a Fox family, unrelated, Cornish men and women, all Quakers, living in Falmouth (though they probably were not Cornish speakers). They were an influential family, with a major part in the development of Falmouth. Quakers did not go to university, they would never swear loyalty to the Church of England. However the Fox family were very clever and successful. They were merchant shipping brokers and became rich. Falmouth was a busy port. They established the Perran Foundry in Perranarworthal to make mining equipment. (Now it is converted into nice dwellings.)
