The Follin Pedigree
Charles R. Follin began his career under the employ of Ephraim George Squier, (second husband of Charles' cousin, Mariam Florence Follin), known for his field-work in Central America and Peru in the fields of Archealogy and Anthropology. He traveled thru-out Central America with Squier in 1853 as his assistant and interpreter. Charles was fluent in the English, French, and Spanish languages. He was a Planter, Merchant, and later, succeeded his father as the American Consulate for Omoa and Truxillo, Honduras. He was present at the arrival of Confederate immigrants to Spanish Honduras in 1867-68 and facilitated their establishment of the Confederate colony of Medina near San Pedro, Honduras as liaison between them and the government of the Republic of Honduras.
