THIRTEENTH GENERATION
4737. unknown (F)
i. (2368) Lt. John Ellis III
4738. Edmond/ Edward Freeman Sr.
"FREEMAN, ...EDWARD, Lynn, came in the Abigail 1635, aged 45, with others of the name, Mary, 50; John, 35; Thomas, 24; John, 9; and Cecilia, 4; all ent. at the custom ho. 17 June in London; but we kn. of six others for the same sh. ent. 1 July foll. viz. (4738) Edward, 34; his w. (4738[2]) Elizabeth 35; and four ch. not of Edward, but of Edmund, (4738ii) Alice, 17; (2386) Edmund, 15; (2369) Elizabeth 12; and (4738vi) John, 8.
"Who Mary and the four others were, that took their passage on the earlier day, is all unkn. as well as the Edward with w. Elizabeth. Conjecture will find no benefit from rec. it is thought; for we are not able to determine whether he brought a w. yet kn. that he had one at Sandwich, but not her name. Presume we may (from his will of 21 June 1682, pro. 2 Nov. foll. naming s. Edmund, John, and (4769x) Edward Perry, as the w. of Edward Perry was (47391x) Mary), that he had m. on this side of the water, a wid. Perry, tho. Mr. Winsor tool; a diverse view, as if E. P. had m. a d. of Freeman. No d. is ever ment. in this country, exc. the two found in the old rec. of the London custom ho. Alice, wh. m. 24 Nov. 1639, deac. (4738ii[2]) William Paddy, and d. at Plymouth, 24 Apr. 1651; and Elizabeth wh. m. a. 1645, (2368) John Ellis. An Elizabeth F. wh. d. at Sandwich, 14 Feb. 1676, may have been the fellow passeng. call. in the rec. w. of Edward, but while we are ignor. wh. Edward was, or where he liv. or if indeed the name be not a delusion on the rec. there may be possibil. of her being the w. of Edmund.
"Dr. Palfrey found gr.stones ;; of many of this fam. name at Benefield in Northamptonsh. but the late Rev. Dr. James Freeman understood from fam. tradit. that he as deriv. from Devonsh. On the first arr. of Edmund with his assoc. at Sandwich, they call. the place Saugus, out of regard to the Ind. name of the place in Mass. whence they rem. He was an Assist. of the Col. 1640-46 incl. but why in foll. yrs. omit. is not guessed at, nor why among instances of longev. he is not cited, when many younger are."

"(4738) Edmond Freeman was Assistant Governor of Plymouth Colony under Bradford and Winslow 3 Mar 1640-1646. (9577iii) Edward Winslow (Jr.) wrote to Gov. John Wintrop in Boston that
'I suppose the country left (4738) Freeman out in regard of his professed Anabaptistry and separacon from the Churches'.
On a committee to view and appoint meadow lands, 2 Jun 1640, [Freeman was] appointed 'to heare and determine all causes and controversies within the 3 townships.' In 1645 he signed a petition supporting tolerance of religion in the Plymouth Colony: 'full and fre tolerance of religion to all men that wil preserve the civil peae and submit unto the government... no limitation or exception against Turk, Jew, Papist, Arian, Socinian, Nicolaitan, Familist, or any other.' This motion was fought by Governor Bradford and [(4774) Thomas] Prence (III) and others and they caused it to be tabled...
"[(4738) Freeman was] Constable in Sandwich 4 Jun 1651. [He was] brought to court on 7 Oct 1651 for not frequenting the publick worship of God. [On 22 Oct 1656,] (4752) Thomas Tupper Sr. released Edmond Freeman from 'all manner of accounts, specialties and demands from the beginning of the world to this present day"... (4738) Edmond lost his Assistant Governonship in 1659 when his 'liberal' views on religious toleration of Quakers and others was revealed...'
"Richard Bourne and (2372) Myles Black [were] appointed to purchase from the Indians land that had been granted to Edmond Freeman and (9744iv) Mr. [William] Paddy's children in a cedar swamp on 4 Aug 1663.
On 24 Feb 1678, he gave his house, orchard and land nearby to his grandson (2369vii) Mathias Ellis... because of the help Matthias had given him in his old age. His estate [was] inventoried at 161 pounds by (4770) Thomas Burge, (III) and (2372) Mikaell Blackwell...
"[(4739vi) Maj. John Freeman II willed to] his Negro man Toby a cow, a small iron pot and his oldest clothes and to both Toby and Bess their freedom. He instructed his chidren to put them into such a way that they would not want."
