Sincerely hope you are near a library which has FREEMAN FAMILIES OF NOVA SCOTIA. On Page 439, Vol I, we have the family of Simeon Freeman Brown (s.o. Hannah Freeman & Jacob Brown) mar. Elizabeth Harlow -- no data Eight children Hannah; Jacob; Malachi; Ellen; Richard;Letitia; Ada; Zorah Malachi is listed as married to Ida Rafuse If there was an initial M. - could have been Moore as suggested, possibly after a grandmother -- a naming habit. Three children: Leonard; Blanche Beatrice; Reginald Blanche Beatrice married Harold Maynard Hartlen of Halifax, NS Lots more -- but it seems your number of families has increased!! Also COULD there have been two marriages for Ida - Moore and Rafuse -- or born Ida Moore, married a Rafuse before Hartlen The book has been reprinted and CDs are also available. Muriel M.
