Willliam is my 3rd great grandfather! ♥♥
William is the son of Thomas Follon (1780-1841) and Lucy Carpenter. He married Candace Howe (1816-1871) on 01 Sept 1840 in Knox Co. Ohio. She is my 3rd great grandmother.
William S. Follon was born 17 February 1814 in Franklin County, Ohio, and died in Vernon County, Missouri on 20 September 1885. The son of Thomas (1780-1841) and Lucy Carpenter Follon, William spent his childhood in Franklin County. Married on September 1, 1840, to Candace Howe, the family left Ohio in 1852 for Lafayette County, Wisconsin. They lived near Augustine Follon and Henry Follon, whose relationships are brothers.
By 1860, William moved his family to Clayton County, Iowa. In September 1862, William enlisted in the Civil War with Company "K", of the 37th Iowa Infantry. Discharged in May 1865 by reason of telegraph order, William served for 2 years and 8 months.
Candace died in 1871 and is buried in Volga City, Iowa. After her death, William left Iowa with six daughters and located in Smith County, Kansas for about ten years, near his sisters. Leaving Kansas in 1881, William went to Vernon County, Missouri, where his daughter Sarah and husband Nelson Allen resided. William lived with them on their farm near Sheldon and died there in 1885. Burial was in Dunnegan Grove Cemetery. After the estate was settled, daughter Sarah and family moved back to Kansas, where her sister resided.
