Much of the material used to construct the family of Thomas FREEMAN is based on extensive research by cousins Miles Philbeck and Monte Hart.

Thomas FREEMAN - b. about 1717, Surry Co., VA; d. after 1763, Brunswick Co., VA. Son of John FREEMAN, Jr. and Mary. Resided in Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA. The records of Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA include the baptism of Peter FREEMAN on May 4, 1740, son of Thomas and Mary, and the baptism of Jesse FREEMAN on Jul. 16, 1749, the son of Thomas and Susannah. In a letter dated Aug. 9, 1937 from Anna Maye (FREEMAN) REID, daughter of George Romulus FREEMAN, great granddaughter of John and Barbara (PAINTER) FREEMAN, writes, "The Freeman family came over from Virginia to N.C. with the leading families of our co.  I happened to run upon a family while I was teaching in the mts of NC, who had a wagon wheel off of the wagon that our great grandfather came in together with his grandfather he was real old then." There is no other known evidence that Thomas FREEMAN moved to Rutherford Co., NC. Thomas married first about 1738, and second by 1748 Susannah, whose surname may have been SANFORD or SANDEFOUR.

Mary - One undocumented source gives PRINCE as the surname for Mary.

1. Peter - b. Oct. 3, 1739, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA; d. before 1787, and perhaps before 1782.

Children of Thomas and Susannah Freeman

1. Jesse - b. May 24, 1749, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA; bap. there Jul. 16, 1749; d. after 1816, possibly in Buncombe Co., NC. Jesse was in Brunswick Co., VA through 1788, and appears in the 1790 census of Ruherford Co., NC. In 1807 Jesse sold land to Malone FREEMAN and Robertson FREEMAN. When Malone FREEMAN sold his land in 1816 it was described as being granted to Jesse FREEMAN, whose will (not located) left it to Malone. Jesse may, or may not, have been the Jesse FREEMAN who married Elizabeth Catherine. It has been suggested that Elizabeth Catharine may have been living with son Malone in 1800. Children of Jesse FREEMAN: Elizabeth married John PRINCE; Spencer Malone married; and Nathaniel Robertson married Catherine SEWARD.
2. Jean -  Possible daughter of Thomas and named as sister of Peter in Alfred Bird FREEMAN, His Book. Married William LIFESEY. William named daughter Phoebe in his will, and Jean named her in a deed of gift. Daughter: Phoebe m. Mr. SMITH (together with her Uncle Peter, Phoebe SMITH sold 100 acres of land in Apr. 1774 to John DUGGER, Sr.).

She is listed "Fathersman FREEMAN" in the 1810 census of Rutherford Co., NC, age 45 & up, with one other female in the household at age 16-26.

The marriage record from Geensville County Virginia Marriages, 1781-1853 reads : "FREEMAN, Mary & Sterling PRICE 30 June 1791, daughter of Faithy FREEMAN, who gives consent. B-William Eaves, Witness, Buckner Eaves, Minister, William Andrews (Methodist)." Some of the information in this quote may be editoral additions, since the actual marriage record is in columnar format with the follow entries. "Date of Bond: 31 June 1791. Name of husband: Sterling Price. Name of Bride: Mary Freeman. Parents or Guardian of Wife: Faithy Freeman, mother. Security and Witnesses: Wiles; Buckner Eaves." Mary and Sterling were in Rutherford Co., NC in 1804 when son Sterling was born, in GA in 1817 when son Goolsby was born, and probably moved to AL prior to Feb. 1, 1823, when son Sterling was married in Bibb Co., AL.

FREEMAN to Peter's 1856 will is probably Wilkerson Bell, son of John and Barbara. "Extr: friend John FREEMAN" may not be a close relation, and probable brother John died before the will date.
