Folkers genealogy

A few notes I discovered in a file are as follows:

1. Mamme Folkers c. 1700, married Falke(?) had several children and lived in Asel, a small village between Jever and Wittmund in East Frisia. East Frisia is near Denmark on the Frisland Islands, which are betwen Holland, Denmark and Germany. *

Kern, her second husband. She died on August 7, 1916 in Mill Valley, California

6. Dr.Oscar Hermann Ernest Folkers** (son) 3rd of 4 children, was born December 31, 1874 in San Francisco, married Lutie (Lucinda Ellen) Davis in New York City on June 20, 1903. She was born February 9, 1872 in Canton, Missouri. Her parents were (A?) Samil Davis and Laura G. Ellis. Their marriage license lists him as living at 338 West 36th Street, NYC.

* In a letter from Eloise Folkers Nenon, Chatham, Virginia, to me dated July 25, 1965, Mrs. Nenon wrote: "Being somewhat familiar with this area of Germany...that is by having driven through there while living in France, I checked our German atlas and readily located all of the villages you mentioned: East Friesland (Ostfriesland), is however distinct from the East Frisian Islands (Ostfriesische Inseln) which lie off the coast, north of Ostfriesland. It is on the mainland (Ostfriesland) where the villages of Asel, Mederns, and Tettens are located...about 25 to 45 miles northwest of Wilhemshaven, which in turn is about 25 miles west (as the crow flies) of Bremerhaven. Asel is 2 km. east of Wittmund, and 5 km. west of Jever. Tettens is 8 km. straight north and 4 km. west of Jever with Mederns being located 7 km. further on north on the same road from Jever...about 4 km. from the north coast. At this point I can only completely confuse you by discovering that Tettens is 4 km. directly west of where I said it was. With every village being given in this atlas, one can get confused.

** Oscar H.E. Folkers' background is as follows: graduate of the University of California in Pharmacy in 1893. M.D. degree received from Cooper College (now the U. of California) in 1896. Graduate in Dental Surgery in 1903 from New York College of Dentistry; practiced dentistry in New York City. He lived in Mill Valley, California for a while.

Extracts from the Dinsmore Genealogy

From about 1620 - 1865

We find the name Densmore (Dinsmore) in the family line when coming to #6 on the Richardson/Vinton line when Eliza Jane Densmore, born in Sydney, Maine in 1818, married in 1836 Charles Richardson, born in Augusta, Maine in 1813.

The following is from a copy of a genealogy paper that I found in my files. I don't know where this came from, either from my Aunt Lila or my mother.

"The original progenitor of all the Dinsmores who live in this country and the oldest one, so far as we are able to trace, lived in a place in Scotland called Achenwead about the time the Pilgrim Fathers landed on Plymouth Rock.

He was a wealthy farmer, being called the Laird of Achenwead, and had tenants under him. The Dinsmore coat of arms was a farm on a plate of green, with three sheaves of wheat standing in the centre.

He had two sons, the youngest of which was called John, who feeling himself disgraced by his father because he obliged him to stand uncovered and hold the off stirrup of his elder brother's saddle when he mounted his horse, left his home without his father's permission at seventeen years of age and went to Ireland and settled near Ballywatick in the county of Antrim.

This John I had 4 sons: John II, Adam, Robert and Samuel.

John II emigrated to America, the first one of the name of Dinsmore who came and landed at the place called Gorges, in the District of Maine where there was an English Fort. There he built a house but, before the house was finished, he was captured by Indians and carried to Canada.

After suffering many hardships and narrowly escaping death by being burnt at the stake on a false charge, he was at length released by his Chief who believed him to be an honest man. He found his way back to Fort Gorges in Maine.

He then took passage to Boston and from there went to Londonderry, New Hampshire where he found many old friends who knew him in Ireland, they also having emigrated to that place.

The proprietors of that town gave him 100 acres of excellent land in consideration of the hardships and sufferings he had endured and the respect they had for him.

Being a mason by trade, he built a stone house and then sent to Ireland for his wife, children and grandchildren, all of whom arrived safely in 1730. The old man lived to the great age of 99 and was much respected and honored by all who knew him for his piety and good sense, having for many years been called "Daddy Dinsmore."

About the year 1745, David Dinsmore, grandson of John I who went from Scotland to Ireland, set sail with his wife and 2 sons from Londonderry, in the north of Ireland for this country and, after a voyage of 3 months, landed in Boston, Mass.

They brought flax with them and immediately commenced making thread for sale.

Afterward they moved to Londonderry, New Hampshire. In 1747, Mr. Dinsmore purchased a farm in Auburn, then part of Chester. The deed of the farm is still in existence and is quite a curiosity. The house built on the farm was of logs. Afterwards, a frame house was built, which stood for over 100 years.

David Dinsmore was the father of 7 children: Samuel, James, David, Thomas Robert and Arthur and Mary.

The Genealogy then went on to give the descendants of Robert and Arthur, born March 24, 1752 - twins, but not the descendants of Samuel, James, David or Thomas.

We must be descendants of them or else of the John who settled in Londonderry, NH.

The Dinsmores and the Densmores are the same people."

End of Xeroxed notes

"The Richardson Memorial" book by John A. Vinton

I found part of an Xerox copy of notes in someone's handwriting (at first I thought it was Elma Richardson's but decided it isn't) about this book in one of my files. On the Internet, the book's lowest price that I found is $105.00.

"In the book is contained a full account of the Richardson families in America up to 1876, especially of Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas.

Rev. Vinton states that undoubtedly the name of Richardson was of Norman origin, as it has been found before among no other people.

Before conquering England, these Normans lived in the northern part of France, called Normandy. The sons of the Richards soon took the name of Richard's sons, thus the name of Richardson.

The Richardsons of England have always been people of high standing, such as dukes, earls, lords, ministers and great landowners and are even today among the best families in England. However, no trace has been found as to which family these Richardson brothers came from -- but probably from York, England, as it was from there that so many people were leaving for America about that time on account of religious persecution, etc.

Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas came to America and settled first in Charlestown, Mass. Ezekiel in 1630 and Samuel and Thomas in 1636. They all formed the church at Charlestown, now the First Church of Boston, as soon as they arrived, making them freemen of their colony.

The brothers acted in the capacity of Commissioners, laying out the towns, the streets, the rural roads and exercising authority over the affairs of the Colony. Samuel was a very good highway surveyor, too.

The General Court selected seven men to organize a new church and town called Woburn, so on August 14, 1642, these men: John Mousall, Edward Convers, Edward Johnson, William Learned, Ezekiel, Samuel and Thomas Richardson constituted the Church of Woburn.

These seven men were chosen as the seven pillars of the church, and thus were placed at the head of many important affairs and were the nucleus of the new chuch, from which sprang the new religion - the Congregationalists.

They settled in this town, helping to govern it and lived on "The Row," which now is a part of Washington Street.

Samuel was selectman of Woburn in 1644, 45, 46 and 1650, 51. He owned quite a great deal of land and at one time was the highest taxpayer around Woburn.

The fact that the Richardsons were men of excellent character shows that confidence was placed in their wisdom and integrity, which was shown by the responsible work they were chosen to manage.

The records show that the Richardsons had a greater posterity than any other families in Woburn and that they married into the best families in New England so that they became a great people, many of which are of great note and fame.

The above is just a little of the history of the brothers, just to give you a little idea. I shall now proceed to give the names of our ancestors, with a little history of each.

The number preceeding each name indicates the number by which they are recorded in "The Richardson Memorial."

No. 1151
Samuel Richardson. Born in England about 1610. Married Johanna. He died March 23, 1658 in Woburn, Mass. She died in Woburn, Mass.
No. 1557
Stephan Richardson. 4th son of Samuel and Johanna

This is the end of the copied handwritten notes

Richardson lines - line of John Vinton, a Huguenot

According to Aunt Lila's research, one of our Richardson lines goes back to a Huguenot, John Vinton, who fled France to avoid the widespread and continuing bloody persecution of Christians.

The scene pictured here is of the 1572 A.D. St. Batholomew massacre and is taken from the web page of the Huguenot Society of South Africa, which I listed as a link entitled "Huguenot history" if you wish to read the rest of the article.

Who were the Huguenots, how did they get their name and what does their name mean? Acccording to one source (answers.com), a Huguenot was "a French Calvinist of the 16th or 17th centuries." In other words, the name of Huguenots came to apply to members of the Protestant Reformed Church of France.

From the Huguenot Society of South Africa: "The Huguenots were French Protestants who were members of the Reformed Church which was established in 1550 by John Calvin.

The origin of the name Huguenot is uncertain, but dates from approximately 1550 when it was used in court cases against "heretics" (dissenters from the Roman Catholic Church). There is a theory that it is derived from the personal name of Besançon Hugues, the leader of the "Confederate Party" in Geneva, in combination with a Frankish corruption of the German word for conspirator or confederate: eidgenosse. Thus, Hugues plus eidgenot becomes Huguenot, with the intention of associating the Protestant cause with some very unpopular politics.

O.I.A. Roche, in his book The Days of the Upright, a History of the Huguenots, writes that "Huguenot" is

"a combination of a Flemish and a German word. In the Flemish corner of France, Bible students who gathered in each other's houses to study secretly were called Huisgenooten, or "house fellows," while on the Swiss and German borders they were termed Eidgenossen, or "oath fellows," that is, persons bound to each other by an oath. Gallicized into "Huguenot," often used deprecatingly, the word became, during two and a half centuries of terror and triumph, a badge of enduring honor and courage."

As nickname and even abusive name its use was banned in the regulations of the Edict of Nantes which Henry IV (Henry of Navarre, who himself earlier was a Huguenot) issued in 1598.

The French Protestants themselves preferred to refer to themselves as "réformees" (reformers) rather than "Huguenots". It was much later that the name "Huguenot" became an honorary one of which their descendants are proud.

A general edict which encouraged the extermination of the Huguenots was issued on January 29th, 1536 in France. On March 1st, 1562 some 1200 Huguenots were slain at Vassy, France. This ignited the the Wars of Religion which would rip apart, devastate, and bankrupt France for the next three decades."

The Richardson-Vinton line, briefly, with the few notes I have:

Who was William Richardson (see #2 above)? I am now working backwards:

William Richardson - born on December 14, 1678 in Woburn, Mass.; married Rebecca Vinton; his father was:

Stephan Richardson -born on August 15, 1649; married Abigail Wyman of Woburn, Mass. on Jan. 2, 1674-5. She was born in 1659, daughter of Francis and Abigail (Read), tanners;they had 13 children. He was the 4th son of his father, who was:

Thomas Richardson who married Katherine Durford August 24, 1590; I know of 2 other sons of Thomas and Katherine: Ezekiel and Thomas who came to America with Samuel and first settled in Charlestown, Mass. Their story is in a book, "The Richardson Memorial," by Rev. John Adams Vinton. Printed by Brown, Thurston & Co., Portland, Maine, 1876

Filling in some details about the Brewster line

I realize that dates and places might be good to add to the line that comes down from William Brewster, so I am adding these here. The documentation from town records, books, family Bibles, probate records, etc. will not be listed here. Lila Chase Blood did the research, collecting and organizing all this information.

Also, for the record, if anyone wants to join the Society of Mayflower Descendants, duplicates of records would not be necessary since Lila May Chase Blood (her actual name!) filed for membership years ago. Her file is with the New York State Society No.3037, General No. 22907. All that is necessary is to update her records to your name and relationship with official documentation (birth certificate, etc.)

Her mother was Jennie Maxam and her father was Judson Chase. She had no children. As you know, her mother married Charles P. Coyle, a lawyer and a judge, after Judson Chase, a schoolteacher, died of tuberculosis at a fairly young age (40's?).

I had to get a death certificate for Charles P. Coyle in Glens Falls, NY and a record of the death of Jennie Maxam Coyle from Painesville, Ohio, where she died, and then I was accepted into membership based on Aunt Lila's file. However, I cannot put my hands on my registration number at the moment to shortcut one generation.

#1 William Brewster's wife's name was Mary. Last name is uncertain.

#2 Patience Brewster married Thomas Prence, no dates or places given.

#3 Rebecca Prence was born in Plymouth, Mass. "before" 5/22/1727 (in Aunt Lila's handwriting, but the date of birth must be 1627). She married Edmund Freeman, Jr.(born in Sandwich, Mass) when she was 19 on 4/22/1646 and died when she was 24 on 7/15/1651. Marriage and death listed at Plymouth, Mass.

#4 Rebecca Freeman was born in Sandwich, Mass. between 1646 and 1651. She married Ezra Perry, Sr. in Sandwich, Mass., date unknown, and died in Sandwich, Mass.on April 16, 1738.

#5 Hannah Perry was born in Sandwich, Mass. on September 10, 1681 and married Samuel Muxum in Sandwich, Mass. on January 13, 1703-4. She died (probably) in Rochester, Mass. after 1729.

#6 Samuel Muxum, Jr. was born in Rochester, Mass. on or before 1717 and married Elizabeth Gibbs on September 18, 1736 in Rochester, Mass. He died in 1755 in Rochester, Mass.

#7 Samuel Maxham was born in Rochester, Mass. on September 12, 1748. He married Margaret Lucas on May 17, 1777 in Middleborough, Mass. and died in Middleborough, Mass on December 6, 1820.

#8 Asa (Asahel) Maxham (Maxam, Maxim) was born on November 30, 1780 in Middleborough, Mass. He married Betsey (Elizabeth) Sherman in Rochester, Mass. on September 30, 1804 and died in Warren County, New York on January 6, 1848.

#9 Charles Maxham (Maxam, Maxim) was born in Warrensburg, New York on September 10, 1819 and died at Schroon Lake, New York on July 27, 1905. On March 24, 1845, he married Cynthia Butler (where my middle name comes from!) at Schroon Lake, New York, (in the Adirondack mountains). I was told that Cynthia Butler burned to death in her back yard when the wind whipped up some sparks from rubbish she was burning, and her dress caught on fire.

#10 Jennie (Jane Louise) Maxam was born at Schroon Lake, New York on March 6, 1866 (at the end of the Civil War!). She married Judson Chase, who died in his 40's of tuberculosis. Their one child was Aunt Lila May Chase, who married Walter Blood and lived in Glens Falls, New York on Sherman Avenue; they had no children.

Jennie was married for the second time at age 43 to Charles P. Coyle, age 54, a judge and a lawyer, in Chestertown, New York, on April 28, 1908. I believe he graduated from a law school in Albany, New York. He died in Glens Falls, NY on January 10, 1935 at the age of 80-1/2 years from heart failure.

Jennie also went to college in Albany, New York and was a school teacher. They lived at 32 Sherman Avenue, Glens Falls, New York and had one daughter, Elma Josephine Coyle.

Charles P. Coyle was a widower who had 5 or 6 (?) sons, Harold, Robert, Doc, etc. One or two died in II World War, one in a plane crash in France. Harold was a lawyer who married a Canadian nurse, Billie, during the war; they lived in Detroit, Michigan, and had no children. Charles Patrick Coyle's parents were Patrick Coyle and Kathleen Slavin.

Jennie Maxim Chase Coyle died in Painesville, Ohio, on August 26, 1950, when she was 84 years old. We were on a trip to Detroit, Michigan, to see her step-son, Harold and his wife, when she had a heart attack during the night.

#11 Elma Josephine Coyle was born in Chestertown, New York, on June 7, 1909. She married Donald Whitney Richardson, of Scranton, PA., on June 2, 1933, in the garden of her home on Sherman Avenue after graduating from Mount Holyoke College, South Hadley, Mass. in 1931. She died in Falmouth, Maine on January 2003.

#12 Janet Louise Butler Richardson was born in Glens Falls, New York on July 12, 1937 and married Donald L. Folkers, (born in Washington, D.C.) of Winchester, Mass., on June 27, 1964 in the garden of her home in Waverly, PA. Married Paul Doon, of Curepe, Trinidad, West Indies, on April 11, 1992 in Portland, Maine. Two children: Jennifer Brewster Folkers and John Howe Folkers.

#12 Donald Densmore Richardson born on November 16, 1944.

#12 William Coyle Richardson born on March 18, 1948.

You can fill in the rest!

#13 Jennifer Brewster Folkers was born in Richardson House, part of Boston Lying-In Hospital in Boston, Mass. on October 27, 1965. In Maine, on October 14, 1990, she married Olivier P. Muff, who was born in Switzerland on February 1, 1961.

#14 Acacia Nicole Muff was born on May 9, 1993.
#14 Jasper Muff was born on October 9, 1994
#14 Hudson Muff was born on February 9, 1998
#14 Laurel Heidi Joy Muff was born on October 10, 2000

Musings...

This is the beginning of a rambling post to introduce a new way of communicating with each other, through photos and comments on this web log, commonly known as a blog. I hope my grandchildren would like to see who their relatives are (and were).

John sent me a couple of photos taken in Maine in November, 2005, so I will start with those.

I will be going back in time to put in some family photos from previous years, knowing we look different today (at least I do), but it is nice to see the faces again as they once were.

It is quite cold in Maine right now, as you can tell by this photo of Sonia and John. I have no idea where they are sitting but they look absolutely frozen. In Maine, though, the sun is wonderfully bright during the Fall and Winter months so, except for their jackets, you might even think they were visiting me in Trinidad, not so? Nahhh....they look too cold. You would not be fooled.

This photo was taken in the gift shop at DiMillo's, a ferry boat transformed into a restaurant right on Portland harbor, where the three of them were about to have lunch. Sonia is about to become family and, of course, Don is part of the genealogical line.

The Muff family, in 1999 was still living in Portland, Maine, but Laurel was not yet born. On the left is Olivier (Ollie) carrying Hudson, then Jasper, Acacia and Jennifer. For some reason, when they moved to Switzerland, the children all got bigger!


My oldest brother, Donald Densmore Richardson, of Oakland, California, and his wife, Barbara Estes, at dinner in March, 2005, at a Cuban restaurant on The Pier in St. Petersburg, Florida. A nice mini reunion; we should do that more often!

My friend, Claire McCullough, and I were snapped after a church service in Auburn, Maine, back in 1999.


My youngest brother, William Coyle Richardson, lives on Cousin's Island, Yarmouth, Maine. I think this photo was taken in 1999 before he moved there but was living in the town of Yarmouth itself. And there is Whitney, his son, who loves to travel. And Kathryn (Katie) his daughter, who is still in college; she is wearing an Indian oufit I sent her from Trinidad, and then a nice photo of Marjorie (Margie), his wife. They are real Mainers now...going to back to the State where the Richardsons originally settled when they came from England many generations ago.



Back in 1984, I took this picture of my beloved father, Donald Whitney Richardson, saying good-bye to us in the driveway of his home in Waverly, Pennsylvania, as we were leaving for another state. He died on March 23, 1988 in a hospital in Scranton, Pennsylvania.

Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of my mother on my computer, so that will have to wait until another time, and I will need to find a picture of Laurel, too.

This is Scrooby Manor- the only remaining wing of the original house. William Brewster lived here and this is the place where the Pilgrims met in secret following their separation from the Church of England. (photo by Eugene A. Fortine)

This is St.Wilfrid's Church in Scrooby, the parish church where William Brewster attended services until he separated from the Church of England. This is the west side, showing the spire at the north end.
