John Folger and his son Peter (the name was then frequently written Foulger),
are said to have crossed the Atlantic in the same ship with Hugh Peters, in
the year 1635. They came from Norwich in the county of Norfolk, England. Peter
was then about 18 years of age. At what time they settled at Watertown, Mass.,
is not known, but in 1642 John Folger was possessed of a homestead in that
town, and owned six acres of land. It is probable that John and Peter Folger
accompanied Thomas Mayhew, Jr., to Martha's Vineyard in 1641or 1642. John
owned a house, upland, commonage and meadow land at the Vineyard, as appears
by the vineyard records. John Folger died about 1660. Meribell Folger his
widow, was living in 1664. Her surname is said to have been Gibbs. According
to tradition, John was a widower when he came over; if this be correct, he
must have married her after his arrival in America.

Notes for PETER FOLGER:
Source: The Folger Family, Compiled by William Coleman Folger of Nantucket,
a Corresponding Member of the N. E. Historic-Genealogical Society.
Peter Folger, son of John, born in England, accompanied
his father to America in 1635, and probably emigrated with him to the Vineyard
in 1642. He married in 1644, Mary Morrill, who had been an inmate in the family
of Hugh Peters, and according to tradition a fellow passenger with him from
England. While at the vineyard he taught school and also practiced as a surveyor
of land. He also assisted the younger Thomas Mayhew in his work of christianizing
the native Indians. Rev. Experience Mayhew, in a letter to John Gardner, Esq.,
dated 1694, stated that when Thomas Mayhew, Jr., left for England in 1657,
he left the care of his church or mission with Peter Folger. Peter became
a Baptist in his sentiments, and after his removal to Nantucket is said to
have baptized two persons in Waiptequage pond.
At a meeting of the proprietors of the island of Nantucket, held in Salisbury
in the latter part of 1660 or early part of 1661, five persons were chosen
to measure and lay out the land, and in the order it is said, that what shall
be done by them, or any three of them, Peter Folger being one, shall be accounted
legal and valid. The vote shows the confidence they placed in his judgment
and integrity.
While a resident at the vineyard he acquired the Indian language, which was
of great service to him in business affairs and in enabling him to communicate
religious instruction to the natives.
In the summer of 1659, he is said to have accompanied as an interpreter, Tristram
Coffin and others who visited the island of Nantucket to view it about the
time of the purchase of Mayhew. He was there in 1661 and 1662, surveying,
and on the 4th of July, 1663, the proprietors of Nantucket granted him half
a share of land on Nantucket, or half as much as one of the twenty purchasers,
provided he would come to inhabit with his family on the aforesaid island
within one year after that date, and attend the English in the way of an interpreter
between the Indians and them upon all necessary occasions. He accepted the
grant and moved there with his family within the specified time.
On the 21st of July, 1673, he was chosen clerk of the courts, which office
he held some years. In his poem-"A Looking Glass for the Times,"
published April 23, 1676, he shows himself an advocate for religious liberty,
and strongly condemns the persecuting spirit exhibited in New England in his
day. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, his grandson, when in England found no arms for
the Folgers at the Herald's office, and concluded that they were a Flemish
family who came over in the time of Queen Elizabeth. There were others of
the name in England besides John Folger and son, as in the latter part of
last century a young man named Thomas Folger, Jr., son of Thomas and Mary
(Rant) Folger of Norfolk, England, came over and married Abigail, dau of Daniel
Folger, at Easton, NY. This Thomas Folger moved to Charlton, Saratoga county,
NY, where he died May 22, 1838, aged 80 years.

Savage in his Genealogical Dictionary in describing Peter Folger, the first
of the name to be connected with Nantucket, says that he came from Norwich,
County Norfolk, England in 1635, went early from Watertown to Martha's Vineyard,
probably with Thomas Mayhew. He bestowed great pains in teaching the Indians,
as successor to Mayhew, and removed about 1663 to the island, where his name
has ever since been in high regard.
Died in Nantucket 1690, buried near Capt. John
Gardner

Notes for PATIENCE FOLGER:
Source: The Folger Family, Compiled by william Coleman Folger of Nantucket,
a Corresponding Member of the N. E. Historic-Genealogical Society.
The name of Patience Folger's 1st husband has
been given by genealogists here both John and Ebenezer; whether either was
right is doubtful. I believe they lived in North Carolina, where probably
the husband died; and the widow returned to Nantucket, where she married James
Gardner, son of Richard, being his 2d or 3d wife. She died 1 mo., 1717-18.
The name of Ferdinando Harker appears in a business transaction here under
date of Feb. 7, 1681-2. Even the late B Franklin Folger, so well versed as
he was in the Nantucket genealogies, could not be certain of the given name
of the first husband of Patience. Very likely the Ebenezer whom I have given
as a son, may be a grandson of patience. There are many descendants of Jonathan
and Hepzibah (Harker) Coffin.

Notes for BENJAMIN FRANKLIN:
Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) was born in Boston but moved at an early age to
Philadelphia where his countless talents and unlimited energies found expression
in successful contributions as a stateman, diplomat, scientist, editor-author,
and philosopher, During the Revolution he was appointed American Minister
Plenipotentiary to the French Court enabling him to function also as the Navy's
representative in Europe. He promoted the plan to bring the war to British
shores, supporting Lambert Wickes' spectacul ar raids and enabling John Paul
Jones to perform his daring feats by providing funds, attending to purchases
and repairs, and determining questions of authority and discipline. His astute
and visionary policies merit for him deserved recognition in the annals of
the infant Navy as well as esteem as a founder of the United States. (The
first four ships of the name honor Benjamin Franklin; CV-13 perpetuates the
name of these ships)

Timothy Folger was a prominent nantucket whaling merchant, and a cousin of
Benjamin Franklin via the latter's mother Abiah Folger Franklin. Together
the two men published the first chart of the Gulf Stream, around 1770, for
distribution to British captains of westward-bound ships. In the 1780s, Folger
negotiated with the British Crown to protect Nantucket whaleships from seizure
by the Royal Navy. He was also one of the richest men in the commonwealth,
and a rival of John Hancock.

When John Cartwright (1752-1837) died in 1837, his candlehouse and cooper's
shop were valued at $2,000 and the newspaper eulogized him as "having
passed through a long and active life without an imputation on his integrity,
or a desire to be otherwise than useful to his fellow men." These traits
suggest that Cartwright chose to live by Quaker tenets, although he was not
formally a member of the Society of Friends. Having his silhouette cut instead
of his portrait painted was considered "proper" by the Society,
expressing a "plain and simple" aestetic, without taking on worldly
airs.
