Folco BoffinA friend of Frodo Baggins
The only son of Vigo Boffin, who apparently lived at Overhill beyond the Hill from Hobbiton. He was born in the Shire-year 1378 (or III 2978, by coincidence, the same year that Boromir was born in Gondor) and as a child he was fond of old Bilbo, a fellow descendant of the Old Took,4 who lived in nearby Bag End. As he grew older he became a friend of Bilbo's adopted heir Frodo Baggins, and Folco was in fact the eldest of all Frodo's group of friends and companions in the Shire. As a close friend of both Bilbo and Frodo, Folco was naturally present at their joint Birthday Party in III 3001 at which Bilbo dramatically vanished. When Frodo moved out of Bag End some seventeen years after Bilbo's departure, Folco was among those who helped him prepare for the move, alongside Fredegar Bolger, Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took. While these other three went on to play a greater or lesser part in the events at the end of the Third Age, Folco left Bag End after lunch, and played no further part in Frodo's adventures. Of Folco's later life we know almost nothing. Through his father Vigo he was a descendant of the elder line of the Boffin family, tracing his descent back as far as the patriarch Buffo Boffin. Thus when Vigo died in the Shire-year 1430 (or IV 9), Folco would likely have become head of the Boffin family in his father's stead. Notes
