Sandra, From my files, I find the following will of Allen Freeman. You sent this to me a couple of years ago. Gideon Freeman married Deborah Polk, daughter of Capt.. Charles Polk, Their daughter was Elizabeth who married George Cagle. George, his family and Gideon and his family moved to Hardin Co with others in the 1830's. I know that Elizabeth was kin to William P. Freeman, but have never found exactly how. Perhaps someone can help. David 1830 census for Hardin County Tennessee Dor. Freeman 00002-10011001 (Deborah?)
