      In January 1692 Samuel was appointed administrator upon the estate of "John and Mary Folsom both deceased." In the performance of this business he provoked his brother, Dea. John, who in his passion, by violent language, exposed himself to prosecution for a violation of the law; but after some deliberation the trouble was amicably settled..
      Samuel Folsom died intestate: "Mary Folsom of Exeter widow of Samuel Folsom, and Ebenezer Folsom, oldest son, renounce administration on the estate, Feb. 27, 1701/2, and request that a younger son Samuel Folsom, may be appointed; witnesses, Moses Leavitt, Jr. and Dorothy Leavitt.

In answer to which petition his Excellency and Council doth order that the Secretary write to the Creditor or his attorney, who keeps the petitioner in gaol, that if they do not take care, to find out the petitioner's estate whereby he may satisfy his Debt by laying his execution thereupon in twenty days time at farthest, that then the said Creditor shall allow said Petitioner 2s 6d per week, or otherwise the petitioner to be discharged.
