Notes for James Athearn FOLGER


"Folger was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts. In 1860 he founded the San
Francisco coffee firm after leaving Nantucket in the hope of striking it rich
in the California gold fields. Instead he struck it big with the J. A. Folger
Coffee Company, known today simply as Folgers Coffee. He is the
great-grandfather of Peter Folger, and the great-great-grandfather of Abigail
Folger."
