Acknowledgements
First and foremost, to Prof. Howard B. Gill, I send my warmest thanks. Only with your faith and support was this project made possible for all of us.
As always, I am grateful to the Nantucket Historical Association, to Edouard A. Stackpole, director of the Peter Foulger Museum, and to Mrs. Louise Hussey, librarian, whose memory is a library resource all by itself.
Also, to the Dukes County Historical, Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard, Dr. Thomas Norton, director, and Shirley Erikson, librarian, I send special thanks, for making me feel at home by allowing me to "poke around" and look for material.
Most of all, I am indebted to my networking crew of fellow researchers. They have given so much of their time and energy to the Peter Foulger Project. I could not have done any of it without them. They are: Walter Weston Folger, "genealogist supreme", North Carolina; Bruce Robinson, newspaperman, historian, England; Virginia Folger Snow, collector of Folger genealogy and dear friend, California.
Also, to those good people who took the time to send me copies of documents that I could not get: maps, pictures and letters of encouragement I send my thanks. Please keep writing. They are: Mr. and Mrs. John A. Foulger, Wymondham, England; Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Thrower, Carrow Hill, Norwich, England; Mr. Eustace A. Partridge, Attleborough, Norfolk, England; Marjorie Hocks, Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts and countless other good people who sent material from England and Canada.
And — a special thank you note to the Nantucket Learning and Resource Center, without whose equipment I never would have had this article finished on time.
