Harburn (also sometimes spelled Harbon or Harbourn) Riley Fox was the son of Uel Daniel Fox and Delilah Wyatt. He married Elvira Grant March 21, 1866 in Cooke County, Texas. He was called into service by Sam Houston and the state of Texas to become a Texas Ranger on April 7, 1860, when only 18 years old. He served as a private until June 6, 1860 under commanding officer Lt. John Scanland in the organization called "Minute Men" (source: Armstrong Texas Ranger Researcher Center documentation).
