 | | He married Mary Ann Ring, also of Newtown, on November 26, 1834, and was elected a County Commissioner in the late 1850s. |
 | | The Fenton Day Books provide a daily record of work performed by the Bucks County wheelwright and County Commissioner, John F. Fenton, between 1830 and 1844, primarily the manufacture or repair of wagons and wheels (double trees, wagon tongues, sideboards, spokes, rims), with very occasional reference to carriages. |
 | | Other activities are occasionally recorded by Fenton, including making a plough, mending and painting a hay rake, dressing saws, and providing cord wood, and in 1831, he records going hunting "in the pines" and getting five deer. |
