Hi Melva,

I would like to help you but I will need a bit more detail. What was your dad's middle name? You say your grandmother's maiden name was Bolse. Do you know her given name and the name of her husband? How about places and dates? Any detail you could provide might be the crucial piece that enables me to make the connection. Understand we Folsoms are a prolific bunch. My database exceeds 60,000 names.

SPENCER, Iowa -- Dr. Richard Dair Folsom, 84, Spencer, died Saturday, Aug. 21, 2004, at the St. Luke Lutheran Home, Spencer.

Memorial services are 11 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 26, at First Congregational Church, Spencer. Burial will be at Riverside Cemetery, Spencer.

Dr. Folsom was born on May 6, 1920, in Omaha, Neb., the son of Dr. and Mrs. Shirley Dair Folsom. He married Patricia McVicker on July 18, 1943, in Pensacola, Fla.

At age 1, he moved with his family to Muscatine, graduating from Muscatine High School in 1937. He received his Bachelor of Arts Degree from the University of Dubuque, Dubuque, in June 1941.

During summer vacations, he worked as a deck officer on the stern-wheeler steamboat 'The Steamer Capitol'. In August 1941, he enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve, serving as a commissioned line officer until October 1946. During his Naval career, he served as a commanding officer of two different air-sea rescue vessels and then served in the South Pacific with the Naval Air Transport Service.

Upon his return, he attended the University of Iowa College of Dentistry for four years, graduating in June 1950. He started his practice of general dentistry in Spencer in June 1950, and practiced there for 41 years.

During his years in Spencer, he served as president of Rotary Club in 1957. He also served on the Board of Trustees of the Spencer Library for 22 years, serving as chairman during 1967-1968.

He was a member of the Spencer Dental Society, Northwest District Dental Society, serving as president in 1967, and a life member of the Iowa Dental Society and American Dental Association. He was a longtime member of the South Dakota Research Gold Foil Study Club and Nebraska Facial Orthopedic Study Club of Lincoln, Neb., and a member of the Pierre Fauchard Academy. He was also a member of the Evening Shade Lodge No. 312 A.F. & A.M. in Spencer, serving as master of the lodge in 1967. He also belonged to the Abu Bekr Shrine Temple, Sioux City, and was a longtime member of First Congregational Church, Spencer, serving on various boards and councils.

He was very interested in antique cars, being a charter member of the Iowa Great Lakes Chapter of the American Antique Automobile Association. He was very proud of his 1927 Model T Ford and enjoyed being in parades and on trips with the car club.

Survivors include his wife; three children, Dr. Sherry Folsom-Meek of North Mankato, Minn., Virginia Folsom of Cambridge and Richard 'Kip' Folsom and wife, Sherri Anne, of Omaha; a grandchild, Travis Parks of Omaha; a brother, John Folsom and wife, Sally, of Grand Island, Neb.; a sister, Lola Howe of Muscatine; and many nephews, nieces and friends.

Location of Folsom Memorial in Exeter, NH

DavidWoods119 — 2009-07-30 19:21:30Z

In the introduction of "Genealogy of the Folsom Family, 1638-1938" there is a picture of a memorial to John Folsom and Mary Gilman. The caption says "Folsom Memorial At junction of High Street and Kensington Road, Exeter, N.H.".

I go to Exeter from time to time and would like to go see it (assuming it is still there). But as far as I can tell High Street does not cross Kensington Road. A friend to lives in Exeter didn't know where that might be either. Maybe the roads have changed since that book was published.

Does anyone know how to find that memorial?

Hi Connie,

Thank you very much for the information. I really appreciate it! My grandmother is Shirley and mother Tanya. My grandmother just passed away this past October. I miss her very much, but know she is much better off. It is so nice to have some information on grandpa. As I said before, I have wonderful memories of him from my childhood. I have two siblings, Pat and Ray. I am also a month away from my third child. One girl and two boys.

Thank you for all of your help.

Re: Quimby/Folsom connect

ivycoast77 — 2009-05-30 03:13:36Z

I am the G G Granddaughter of Newell P. Quimby.
He was Born in Wear, New Hampshire on Sept 20, 1825 according to the information given by his daughter the the Death Cert. information. His Parents listed on the cert are Moses Quimby and Elida Clough. His Daughter Leona Anna Udy nee Quimby was the informant. He died on June 7, 1910 in Rockwood, Oregon, He was buried in Escobar Pioneer Cemetery in Gresham, Oregon. He has a Civil War Veterns' Head Stone with Iowa 1st Cavalary indicated on it.

I found him in the 1850 United States Federal Census, Parishville, Saint Lawrence, New York. he was 24 years old, Born in New Hampshire, He was a Farmer with Real Estate vauled at $200.00. He was living with 16 yr old Delana Quimby (Possibly your Delana Folsom?) She was listed as being born in Vermont. His name was missed spelled on this October 18th, 1850 Census as "QUINBY".

In the same county on Sept 17th, 1850 His father Moses Quimby in listed with his wife Belinda and their younger children; John P. 22yr a farmer born in New Hampshire, George 20, a farmer also born in New Hampshire, Charles 15, born in Vermont, Maria 13, born in Maine and her sister Mary 9 also born in Maine, the youngest Alfred 7 born in NEW YORK.
Moses is listed as a Carpenter with his real estate vauled at $65.00 and he was 46 years old Born in New Hampshire.
His last name was misspelled as "FUIMBY".

Newell P. Quimby married Elizabeth A. Thomison on July 9, 1859 in Johnson County, Arkansas. There oldest daughter Leona Ann Quimby (UDY) was my Great Grandmother.
I have been able to find these children:
Leona Anna Quimby April 21, 1859 Burbon, Kansas Territory
Olive Alia Quimby abt 1861 in Missouri
Elenora Quimby abt 1866 in Iowa
Forest C. Quimby abt 1867 in Wisconsin died Sept 30 1941 in Marion County, Oregon
Moses Quimby born abt 1869 in Ottertail Co., Minnesota,
Willie G. Quimby born abt 1870 in Minnesota
Myrtle Quimby born abt 1875 in Minnesota, and died 1946, Napa, California.

I Don't where the last name Cheney comes in for Moses, Newell's father?

Do you have more documentation on this family line?
I would appreciate what you can share with me.

He states 30 April 1807 that he will be preparing to remove from here to Elk River (in Tennessee) the last of June or first of July. As soon as convenient after leaving my stock there I will visit you and close my accounts while in public service, which I expect will be that last under Thomas Jefferson. Mention of Thomas Love and Col. Henly .

supporter of the Declaration of Independence. In 1774m he made a treaty with
the Cherokees and in 1775 he made another treaty with the Cherokees and
others by which all their claims in Kentucky and part of Tennessee were
extinguished. He had at one time a free simple right for nearly all the
whole state of Kentucky.

William Henderson was a man of trust and was appointed a General to command
the state troops of South Carolina and bore a conspicuous part in that hand
fought Battle of Eutaw Springs in the Revolutionary War also the Corpens and
Guilford.

John Henderson lived and died in Union District, South Carolina.
Thomas Henderson died in North Carolina.
Nathaniel Henderson died in Hawkins County Tennessee.

Pleasant Henderson January 8, 1756, Died December 1842 at Huntington,
Carroll Count, Tenn, later Chapel Hill, N.C. He was a native of Cranville
Co., NC for many years of Rockingham, then of Chapel Hill, and finally of the
county where he died. Coming of age about the beginning of the American
Revolution he was much involved in the stirring scenes that ensued. He bore
the commissions first of Sergeant, then of Lieut.then of Major in General
Greene's army and was accounted a brave man and a very efficient officer. He
ws an officer in command of the troops that guarded the Commissioners who ran
the dividing line between Tenn. and Ky in the year of 1779. This was a duty
of great peril as nearly the whole extent was occupied by hostile savages.
He was a companion and friend of Daniel Boone in many of his adventures and
enterprises in the early settlement of Ky, and at one time was deeply
interested as a land holder in that state and Tennessee. His elder brother ,
Richard Henderson had at one time a fee simple right for nearly the whole
state of Kentucky which was commissioned by the"Henderson Reserves" and was
finally lost to his heirs by some kind of legal chicanery. Pleasant
Henderson was the private secretary of Alex Martin, forever governor of North
Carolina and for nearly thirty years, Chief Clerk of the House of Commons of
that state. These several positions as well as his long residence at
University of Chapel Hill made him extensively acquainted with the
distinguished men of that and other states, by whom he was much admired and
respected.
He was the only man I ever knew of whom I never heard evil spoken, says a
writer in the Salisbury Watchman, his gentlemanly manner , dignified
deportment, patient temper and kind heart won him friends in all classes:
conceit, presumption and selfishness were strangers to his nature. Candor,
integrity were its perfect identity. In the many conflicts between the
students of the College and Civil Authority , his insight of character and
knowledge of business were often thrown in successfully to make peace and
often he has been the medium of intercession with the College authorities,
and procured the restoration of delinquents. Many times has his purse and
table afforded the means of education to young men who had some adverse
change in affairs was about to draw home. All these things are too well
known in NC to be forgotten soon. In fact, says the writer, I never knew a
man so kindly inquired after in all parts of the state as the subject of
these remarks At Chapel Hill among his old friends and neighbors, the
memory of his virtues and worth will long be green and flourishing. "Good man
farewell. I knew thee long, I knew thee well, nor scarce observed one fault"

Yes, that was my "papa", the most awesome grandfather ever. I am 38 and I still miss him terribly.

I have gotten as far as a Thomas Folsom, born in 1826, but no further. I was told he had extensive records, but I don't know what happened to them after he died.

Thank you for the info.

I am the daughter of Ivy, daughter of James C Folsom.

I think I new your grandfather. James Cannon Folsom of Alabama was the President of the Folsom Family Association of America and hosted the 1977 Folsom Family Reunion along with his brother. If I remember correctly his brother's name is William.

I am in Florida at the present time so I cannot check all my information.

The 1977 reunion was the first reunion I ever attended.
This year The Folsom Family Association of America is celebrating their 100th Anniversary. The reunion headquarters is in Dover, NH and we will be making a trip to Exeter, NH to the church where the very first reunion was held. We will be placeing a wreath at the monument of John and Mary Folsom the first Folsom's in America.

The Folsom Family has a website folsomfamily.org where you can find all about the Association, see pictures of past reunions, get the information for the current reunion and even get a registeration form to attend in a few more weeks.

We are always welcoming new members to the FFA and annual membership is only 15.00. All membership information and membership forms are also available on this website.

If your grandfather is this James Cannon Folsom later in life he married Barbara Foster Lawler and she was my father's first cousin.

I live near Cleveland, Ohio and my sister and I hosted the 2001 Folsom Family reunion.

Please feel free to contact me at any time.

Re: Red hair and Freckles

DoloresSelleck — 2009-04-20 14:33:52Z

After I sent you my message I remembered your granfather's brother's name was Walter. As far as I know he is still living in AL.

I don't know what information the Folsom Family of America has for Jim but if you contact go to the Folsom Family website folsomfamily.org you can contact Harry Folsom and he might be able to print out the information on your family at least as much as Jim would have provided.

Since Jim was President of our Association I would assume that he would have provided as much information on his family as possible.

Hope someday you would be able to attend one of our reunions. We have them all over the country. We had one in San Diego a few years ago and that was the last time I saw your grandfather.

All Folsoms in America are considered cousins so therefore I am signing this message. Cousin, Dolores

Dad's Father and Mother were Charles and Katherine Stockford
Folsom and they lived in Monticello, Maine and raised their family there.Dad's brothers and sisters have all passed away as far as I know.I hope this will help you get started, it is a lot of fun once you get into it.How many siblings do you have? Is your Mother name Tonya? Like I said I hope this helps you get started. Connie

Gladys Channell, my grandmother married Frank Williams my grandfather. Gladys was born in 1906 and just passed away in 2003. Her mother Maud Folsom died when I was only 1, and she is buried in Sebastopol. We have visited her often, even still.

Re: Choctaw sisters

I am very interested in your information. I am only 1/32 Choctaw through my father's side of the family. I have had my CDIB card for years but this summer I officially became a member of the Choctaw tribe. I feel very honored. My ggg grandmother was Salina Folsom married to Robert D Bell. Over the summer I went to Oklahoma City and they helped me research the Folsoms. I found that Salina's dad was Edmund Folsom son of Watt Folsom (1787-1878) I traced the Folsoms back to the 1600s. I can't seem to find much on Salina and Robert Bell though. I know Salina died in about 1884. I don't know anything about Robert D Bell. Do you have any info on Watt, Edmund, or Salina that could help me?
