Family and settler connections
Lawrence Folsom
Path: Lawrence Folsom → William Folsom → Rachel Ann Folsom Ryall → William Raiford Ryall
Grade: Secondary Supported
Evidence: 1850/1860 household evidence and William's death certificate support Rachel as mother of the Ryall brothers.
Open issue: Original parent-naming records are still missing for the earliest Folsom steps.
Evidence grades
- Census- or vital-record supported: recent parent-child steps are named or placed in compatible households by census, marriage, death, or comparable records.
- Secondary-supported: a compiled genealogy supplies one or more early generations while local records independently establish the people involved.
- Strong probable: the relationship is well supported, but one part of the settler claim still lacks direct settlement-era proof.
Each generation is judged separately. Marriage, surname, proximity, or a shared household does not by itself establish descent.
