I do have the will in Allen Co., Ky of Rebecca (Cushenberry) Perry, the wife of Aaron Perry, probated in 1887. Aaron Perry died in 1885 in Allen Co., Ky. My Mary Freeman is named in Rebecca's will as Mary F. Lewis, wife of John Lewis but she is not named as a "daughter" even though Rebecca left valuables to all of Mary's children too. I need to check out that Missouri site on Rootsweb and see if anyone knows who this Freeman family is and where they were before coming to Allen Co., Ky. to see if they were in TN or Va, etc, and look for more records as you have said, to see if they name Mary Freeman Lewis in it. I have seen by googling a John W. Freeman but I don't know if it is the same family. I have just started researching this family so I have a lot to do yet. Thanks for your info. I really appreciate it. :) Marianne Dillow ----- Original Message ----- From: "jj" <jj@tampabay.rr.com> To: tndavids@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, July 16, 2011 9:42:36 AM Subject: Re: [TNDAVIDS] Looking for Parents of Mary Freeman Sometimes it helps to follow the presumed family through the years. Her siblings may mentioned "Mrs. Lewis" as a surviving sibling in their obits or her father's will.
