from
Wikipedia
On May 29, 1775, the Provincial Congress named him a Brigadier General in command of New Hampshire's forces.
This created some confusion, as the Massachusetts provisional government had named John Stark to the same position.
At the time, Colonel Stark was the senior commander of the New Hampshire men who had marched to the Siege of Boston.
The confusion was resolved in June, when the Continental Congress named John Sullivan General of those New Hampshire forces in service with the Continental Army.
Folsom was the senior officer for militia forces within the state.
He was later named a Major General, and continued recruiting, training, and supply efforts throughout the war.
