Descendants of John Bradbury Follett Compilers Note: I prepared this information from a mixture of information from Fr. Igumen Juvenaly (born John Follett Repass and noted below in generation 5 and 6). With his help (in early 2007) I was able to piece together from his records and public research some of the information, dates and notes below. I did lose some of the related data in a crash of my computer storage/backup drive. I reconstructed this document from former reports I had run from my genealogy program. Therefore, please excuse any inconsistencies in generational numbering or footnoting. I have also removed vital information regarding persons still living for privacy considerations. This data does not yet tie in directly to my family gedcom although there is little doubt in my mind that this could eventually be done if anyone out there can verify the missing links or correct mistakes in my research. I wanted to post this information because someone out there may be able to help with additional information on the persons noted below. After all - We are all related! - Bonnie Follett, 01/21/2008. Generation No. 1 1. JOHN BRADBURY 1 FOLLETT 1 was born Abt. 1795. He married ANNE LOUISE FAUNCE Abt. 1816. Notes for JOHN BRADBURY FOLLETT: I have found a John Bradbury Follett at The Daughters of the Republic of Texas website at: http://www.drt-inc.org/ancestors/anc-f.htm This J.B.F. was born 11/17/1795 in Epping, New Hampshire and died on 1/20/1864. I am not sure if the same person, but it could be possible. It would put him at 21 years of age at a possible 1816 marriage date. If the same person, that J.B. F. was noted as being the builder of the 'Lafitte', the first steamboat built in Texas. Based upon the info on the children, it appears the family travelled from New Brunswick, Canada to Massachussetts to Texas. Children of JOHN FOLLETT and ANNE LOUISE FAUNCE are: 2. i. JOHN FOWNES PRESCOTT2 FOLLETT, b. January 01, 1817, Saint Martins, Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada; d. Bef. 1892. ii. ALONZO BECKFORD FOLLETT1, b.
