My John Freeman was born around 1600 in England and died in 1648 in Sudbury MA. He married Elizabeth Noyes circa 1643 in Sudbury MA. Elizabeth Noyes was born circa 1625 in Weyhill, Hampshire, England and baptized April 19, 1625 at the same place. I descend from their son Sergeant Joseph Freeman who was born March 29, 1645 in Sudbury MA and died Feb 2, 1697/98 in Preston CT.
