Jonathan Folsom (38.2) was the son of Jonathan and Dorothy Gilman Folsom and was born on January 12, 1747. “He lived in New Market until 1770. In 1773 he settled in New Durham, ‘on the road from the Ridge to Alton Bay,’ on what has since been called ‘the Grace place.’ He took 240 acres in the wilderness, and toiled hard to produce a fruitful field.” In 1774 he married Sarah Bickford (38.3) and together they had four children in New Durham and in this order: Enoch (1775), Hannah (1777), Sarah (1781) and Jonathan (1784). Sarah Bickford died on the 29th of April, 1784, just six days after giving birth to our descendent, her last born. The timing of her death leads me to assume that a complication related to child birth was the cause.
Five years later, at age 42, Jonathan (38.4) entered his second marriage to Mary Young. Together they had four children in New Durham and in this order: Isaac (1789), John Young (1792), his twin Betsey (1792) and Mary (1794).

At the age of 71, Jonathan Folsom died in 1817.
