Posted on: Douglas County, MO Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Mo/Douglas/11592 Surname: Freeman, Dunlap ------------------------- I am searching for information on my grandmother, Melvina Freeman who married my grandfather, Charley Dunlap about 1900 or a bit earlier. I find grandfather and her in the 1910 Wright County census with 4 children including my father Cecil Columbus Dunlap, age 4 at the time. Also listed was a Laura Freeman age 22 SIL (sister in law) so evidently a sister to Melvina. No record of the family in the 1920 Wright County census. However, in the 1920 Douglas County census I find one Benjamin W Freeman age 32 whose wife is Unice(misspelled Eunice?) age 28. Listed are 4 children Edna C daughter age 11 and Howard son age 9 and two younger children whose names I could not make out plus an Elizabeth Freeman who was listed as Mother age 64 or 69. Also listed was Cecil C Dunlap age 13 (my father) whose relationship was listed as nephew. My thinking is that if Benjamin Freeman was my father's uncle he was probably also a brother to my father's mother, Melvina nee Freeman Dunlap and and Laura Freeman and that Elizabeth Freeman, maiden name unknown, was mother to the three of them, Benjamin, Melvina and Laura. One further bit of information I have. Family lore has it that Melvina later married a Reed and that my father and his brothers had a half sister by that marriage. Any information regarding this family line would be greatly appreciated either posted as a response hear, e-mailed to me directly or both.
