I have found several entries which I hope may give me some clue to my John Freeman who I believe died in 1799 in Screven County. The John Freeman that I am looking for "operated a toll bridge on Brier Crek, where the River Road crossed the ?????. It was destroyed during the Revolution. The location is a mile and a half below the present-day Brannen's Bridge." The children of John Freeman were: Priscilla, William, John, Sarah, Rachael, and Benjamin. > The references which I found may be to his son, but I think I need to find out! > > I found the following references in a book titled "Screven, Minutes Court of Ordinary, Bk 1 (1811-1829), Index Only, OM" in the Public Library in San Antonio, TX.: > > Freeman, Abigail and John, gtd leave to sell perishable property p. 37, 40, Screven, OM > Freeman, Abigail, John Freeman, Jr., gdn, p. 60, Screven, OM > Freeman, James, John Freeman, gdn, p78, Screven, OM > Freeman, John, decd, Thomas Colding, et al, apprs, p. 59, Screven, OM > Freeman, Rachel, John Freeman, Jr. gdn, p. 57, Screven, OM > Freeman, Sarah, John Freeman, Jrl, andr, p. 55, 74, John L.
