Mary Folger^[1]

Abt 1625 - 1685  (~ 60 years)

• Name	Mary Folger
  Born	Abt 1625	Norwich, Norfolk, England   [1]
  Gender	Female
  Died	1685	Southold, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  Notes	Note by Sweezey.net: Mary Folger, widow of Peter Paine, on May 24, 1660 in Southold, Long Island, New York. Mary Folger was probably the daughter of John Folger and Meribiah Gibbs of Nantucket and is likely the great-aunt of Benjamin Franklin. Ben Franklin is a grandchild of a Peter Folger, a brother of Mary Folger. This identity is not given in the Vail Genealogy. Torrey gives her maiden name as Folger. I'm not sure of the evidence that led to the discovery of her identity. Mary was likely born about 1630, as she had five children with Jeremiah after 1660. I'm not aware of any children she had from her first marriage; but it's quite possible that descendants of her Vail kids are half cousins to any that she may have had from her Paine/Payne marriage. She must have died before 1685, the estimated date of Jeremiah's third marriage given by the Vail genealogy and also by Torrey. If born in 1630, she would have been about 50 and her five children would have all been under 25.
