William Fox (pirate)

He was indirectly associated with a number of more prominent pirates such as Bartholomew Roberts, Edward England, and Richard Taylor.

He did so at New Providence in the Bahamas, possibly surrendering to Captain Pearse of HMS Phoenix, who had sailed to the Caribbean to deliver news of the pardon.

[2][dubious – discuss] By July 1720 he had returned to piracy, joining up with Daniel Porter to embark a fresh crew.

"[4] The next appearance of Fox is aboard the former East Indiaman Cassandra, which had been captured in the Indian Ocean by Edward England.

[6] Taylor, Fox, and others had sailed back to the Caribbean and petitioned the English for a pardon but had been marked as pirates; they were rebuffed and were refused permission to land or trade.
