NOTES:
"Mr. Follett has been elected to many of the
offices within the gift of his fellow-townsmen. In the fall of 1874 he
was chosen to the office of infirmary director, and was
re-elected in the fall of 1876. He is spoken of as being an efficient
officer, and faithful in the discharge of his duties."
[from 1798-1878 History of Ashtabula County Ohio, by
Williams Brothers]
Nathaniel Follett, was born January 14, 1823, in
Auburn, New York. Nathaniel was the son of Grandues and Mary (Hunter)
Follett.
"He came to Pierpont with his parents in 1839. He
had a fair education. He was elected the Infirmary director for
16 years and also served as Township Trustee and Assessor. He was a
strong supporter of education in the township. In politics he was
first a Whig and then a Republican. He purchased the old homestead of
150 acres, where he lived until 1889, and then moved to Pierpont. The
farm on which he lived, was purchased from the old Connecticut Land
Company."
