  DESCENDANTS OF THE IMMIGRANT, JOHN FOLSOM,
 WHO CAME TO THE COLONY OF MASSACHUSETTS IN 1638
  THE CHOCTAW FOLSOMS ARE THE DESCENDANTS
 OF NATHANIEL AND EDMOND FOLSOM
  Edmund Folsom (5), brother of Nathaniel also married into the Choctaw Nation and had several children. Not much is known about his family as the records appear not to have been kept as well as were those of Nathaniel's family.
  Jeremiah Folsom (6) was one of his children. He was born in Mississippi, and in 1821 married Mary Nail. After he came to the Indian Territory. His family consisted of twelve children, of whom Joseph Pitchlynn Folsom was the oldest. He graduated from Dartmouth College in 1854 and served a part of his life as a teacher among his people. It is said that he began to write a genealogical record of his branch of the family, but he died ere it was completed and it was lost. He married a Seneca Indian, but had no children.
 A daughter of Jeremiah married James Robinson, brother of Rev. Calvin Robinson.
  Rev. Peter Folsom (6) was a son of Edmund. He was a Baptist minister and often was sent as a delegate to Washington. It is said that he would break the ice and swim across a stream rather than miss an appointment to preach.
  Watt Folsom (6), son of Edmund, married and had several children. One of his sons, Edmund (7), was a merchant and stockman in San Bois, married and had four children. Ellis, was another son of Watt, was a prominent lawyer at McAlester, Oklahoma, married Salina Perry and had five children.

  Mrs. Elizabeth K. Folsom, member of the New England branch, says:
 "The descendants of these sons and daughters of Nathaniel, Edmund and Ebenezer
 Folsom, who allied themselves with the Choctaws, are numbered into the hundreds
 in Oklahoma, AND FROM THEIR LETTERS, ARE PEOPLE, WE OF THE WHITE
 RACE, WITH ALL OUR ADVANTAGE OF GENERATIONS OF CIVILIZATION,
 MAY WELL BE PROUD TO CALL OUR KINSMEN."
