Life
He was the son of Thomas Fox (1770–1811) and Chloe (Bradley) Fox (1777–1852). In August 1818, Chauncey and his brother Pliny went to Olean, New York. They did not find any way to make a living and decided to go in a little boat to Cincinnati, but after two days on the Allegheny River met a settler in the woods, and stayed in his employ. A few months later, Fox went to Great Valley, New York, and became a lumberman. Finding the work too hard, he abandoned lumbering, studied law with John A. Bryan instead, was admitted to the bar in 1826, and practiced in Ellicottville. On February 18, 1827, he married Hannah Hurlburt (1808–1896), and they had five children.

The Allegheny River is a 325-mile (523 km) long headwater stream of the Ohio River in western Pennsylvania and New York, United States. The Allegheny River runs from its headwaters just below the middle of Pennsylvania's northern border northwesterly into New York then in a zigzag southwesterly across the border and through Western Pennsylvania to join the Monongahela River at the Forks of the Ohio on the "Point" of Point State Park in Downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny River is, by volume, the main headstream of both the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Historically, the Allegheny was considered to be the upper Ohio River by both Native Americans and European settlers.
