Fred and Bill, p. 76 of Volume I of the Folsom Genealogy states: "12. Jonathan Folsom (Dea. John2, John1) b. in Exeter, N.H. abt. 1685; d. Feb. 1740; yeoman; m. Anna Ladd (dau. Of Nathaniel, and granddaughter of Hon. John2 (Edward1) Gilman). The Mary LADD that married Jacob GILMAN may have been a daughter of Ezekial Ladd and Mary Folsom who was born 17 Jan 1690. Ezekial was a son of Daniel and Ann Ladd. Mary Folsom was the daughter of Samuel2 and Mary Robie Folsom who just happen to be my progenitors. Wading through the names during the period can be exasperating at best. The FOLSOMs, LADDs, GILMANs, DUDLEYs and THINGs were very much intermarried and given names were used and reused in a way that makes you wonder if they were deliberately trying to confuse their descendants.
