Richard Fox is a son of William T. Vaux III and had a brother named William T. Vaux as well as sisters by the same surname Richard's son John was found in several documents a John Vaux Fox

It is possible and one should remember this was the era of the great vowel shift and a transcribing of the (Norman) Vaux (post vowel shift) may have at this point turned into the English Fox . The same way Les Baux turned into De Vaux

Yes but Vaux was spelled and pronounced Vaus in this period, or written out in Latin as Vallibus. The x is a modern French way of showing plurals (because this surname is basically a French word). This name was never pronounced with an x sound. English and French speakers also did not generally confuse v and f sounds at the beginnings of words.

Any connection to this person: Vaux-4?

I am guessing that this Richard, and his descendants, are the branch claimed on this webpage? http://home.comcast.net/~jmfoxiii/pdf%20files/Vaux.pdf

Page is no longer up. Going to see if Wayback Machine has it.

The equation of Vaux/Fox seems suspicious here. This Vaux family is very well known, and it seem unlikely to have unknown branches who misunderstood the pronunciation, meaning and origin of their name. (The spelling Vaus was very common still in this period. X is simply a French spelling convention for certain types of plural, not pronounced as x.) Anyone have any evidence for this Fox connection?
