A few hours in my newly found resource library in Marietta, GA has turned up more info on James Freeman Sr. Here is his will and some notes on the other information that I have found. I now have this line back 7 generations!! Thanks to all of you on the FREEMAN and FAUQUIER COUNTY LIS= TS who have helped me out!! Mike Wennin "To my youngest daughter Sally, to have feather bed and household furnitur= e with full benefits and profits of part of her Grandfather, George William= =92s estate, which was bequeathed to her Mother =96 this to descend at her Moth= er=92s death. Wife, Margaret Freeman, to have 1/3 of estate during her life. Grandson, Gollop Freeman (alias Duncan) household goods. Sons Garrett an= d Nathaniel, personal estate and slaves. Daughter Mary Hackley (wife of Jame= s) to have 30 shillings =96she has received her share. Daughter Elinor Silman (wife of Joseph) 10 pounds currency. Sons, William James, Garrett, Nathani= el Freeman; and daughter Elizabeth Fletcher (wife of John) to have money from sale of land. Executors- Wife, sons, William and James. Witnessed by Samuel Wharton, William Williams, James Routt." There is a more detailed copy of this will that I did not get a chance to copy....if anyone is interested in it, I will have it next week. Another document that I have yet to copy gives certain slaves to each of t= he children in 1782. James Sr. was first married to Mary Compton in 1765 and then to Margaret Williams on 26th of March 1782. Sally must have been the daughter of Margaret and the rest of the children were Mary=92s. I also have the will of George Williams, father of Margaret if anyone is interested. The 1787 Tax list of Fauquier Co. shows James Sr. paying tax on 8 slaves (= 5 over 16), 8 horses and 13 cattle. James=92 father was also James who died in 1763 in Prince William County, = VA. His mother's name was Elizabeth. James must have been a tobacco farmer as there is legal documentation mentioning him and 1000 pounds of tobacco. Neighbors of James in the late 1780's were George Williams, Charles Duncan= , William Settle and others. It is interesting to see how all these familie= s intermarried during that time. --part0_921425738_boundary--
