In 1614, Fell Fox was born in Lancashire, England. She was born into the landed gentry, a level of society with both good education and breeding. In her late teens, she married an older man, a highly respected judge, by the name of Thomas Fell. Fell was politically involved in the society and several times was a member of Parliament. During their marriage, Fell inherited a house from his father and he and Margaret lived at the estate. The estate had been named Swarthmoor Hall by Fells father. During that time, Fell was often away from home on court circuits. Fell was well known in the region for his hospitality to travelers, and accordingly, the Hall was open to travelers. Fell Fox followed her husbands desire for hospitality.

In June 1652, George Fox came to Swarthmoor while Fell was away on a circuit. (Fox was later credited with being the founder of the Quakers.) When Fell returned home, Fell Fox and their nine children were no longer attending their community Anglican Church. Instead, Fell Fox had deeply involved her family and herself in the “Principle and Persuasion” that was introduced to her through Fox. We have later learned that the moment Fell Fox met Fox, she changed her religious alliance. According to a analysis of Fell Foxs works, her conversion from the Anglican Church to Quakerism revealed “none of the traditional Puritan obsession with self-doubt and self-introspection, while going through a gradual faith-awakening process.” (Kunze, Margaret Fell, 13) Fell was both troubled and surprised by his wifes sudden and radical conversion. According to Fell Foxs writing, The Testimony of Margaret Fox, he was also troubled by rumors he had heard from neighbors, telling him “that a great disaster was befallen amongst his family, and that they [Fox and his circle] were witches.” (Kunze, An Unpublished, 14) However, being a temperate man, Fell agreed to listen to Fox concerning the religious matters at hand. In her Testimony, Fell Fox also reveals that Fox spoke very convincingly to her husband. As a result, Thomas allowed a meeting of Friends at Swarthmoor, a tradition that lasted over thirty-eight years.

Thomas never converted to Quakerism, but he never shunned his wife for her newfound beliefs. Due to his status as a judge, Fell was able to protect his wife and her fellow Quakers from persecution. However, in 1658, six years after his wifes conversion, Fell died. As a result, the Quakers were no longer protected by Fells “kindness at the local bench.” (Hugh, 2) Previously, Fell Fox was protected by her class standing as well as her husbands authoritative position in the society.
