I've found the Freeman surname spelled every way that Geri listed, plus more, including "Fuhrman", which is a real stretch. I'm still searching for the origin of the earliest generation I've documented in Berks Co. as follows: Henrich Freyman married 24 Sep 1752 to the widow of Leonard Gesell, Anna Catharine, at "Heidelburg" according to Rev. Stover's records. This is the earliest record that I have found documenting the Freyman/Freeman family in the Berks Co. area. Henry's sister, Maria Elizabetha, married first to Johan Christian Berger, wheelwright of Bern Twp. His first wife was Maria Barbara Weiss. Maria Elizabetha remarried after the death of Christian Berger to John Adam Schmidt/Smith, f/o Christina who married Casper Freeman, the only son of Henry Freyman. By virtue of a Warrant from the Propietaries bearing date the 24th day of October 1754, Henry Freeman claimed a tract of land situated in Bern Twp., later Upper Bern Twp. and now Centre Twp., Berks County, with the Survey # C59 180 returned the 22 Feb 1760 in his name. Patent #H29 - 328, was issued 22 Mar 1831 to Henry Marx, an Administrator of the Estate of Casper Freeman. The property is located about 2 miles from Belleman's Church, where I suspect that Henry & Casper are buried. The burial records from the time period can't confirm or deny it. Many unmarked or poorly marked graves exist in the old cemetery there. Casper was a Trustee at Belleman's Church. I've found no ship list records that prove that Henry & Maria Elizabetha were immigrants. One Jacob Freyman appears on the 1725 Tax List for Chester Co., Tulpehocken region, suggesting that Jacob may have been part of the Schoharie, NY migration to the Tulpehocken Settlement. The handwriting on the original tax document shows the spelling to be subject to various interpretations, but to me it appears to be "Jacob Freymen". A Jacob Freyman is listed as one of the first members of Brownback's Church in the 1740's in Chester Co., just south of what's now Pottstown. No Freyman birth, baptism or burial records are shown in the church records of Brownback's. No Warrants or Patents were issued in Jacob's name. He remains a prime suspect on the other side of my brick wall. I've found a George Freeman on the 1790 Census, living in Reading. Not sure how or if he is connected. I've also seen the name Mathias Freyman, Bern Twp., in one church record from the 1700's. Can't connect him either. It's possible that both of them may be siblings of Henry & Maria Elizabetha Freyman. The Freymans of Northampton and Carbon counties may be related to the Berks line, but those lines probably connect back in Germany. The Northampton line hailed from Langenselbold. Until information about the parents of Henrich & Maria Elizabetha Freyman is found, there is no way to know.
