    3. SURNAMES: BLEDSOE, BUCKINGHAM, FREEMAN, HAMBY or HANBY, PERRY Desperately trying to find out what happened to 2 FREEMAN sisters who were b in Lincoln Co, TN abt 1862 - 1885, the daus of A C (Achilles, was called "Killus" or "Killis") FREEMAN and his wife, Mary Ann PERRY. Both sisters are thought to have moved to TEXAS abdout 1900. They are: Alice FREEMAN who prob married a Robert HAMBY / HANBY, and is supposed to have had a son, Eugene HAMBY / HANBY, b abt 1890. Lula /Lulu (short for Louise / Louisa / or ? ! ?) - all I have is her name. They apparently visited relatives in TN in the late 1800's or early 1900's as a niece of theirs, Lillie FREEMAN (later married Boone HARRIS), 1890 - 1987 [dau of their older brother, Jack FREEMAN 1860 - 1924, and his wife, Lucy Elizabeth BUCKINGHAM 1863 - 1918, both buried Florence, AL where they later lived], remembered them. I have finally located BLEDSOE descendants of their sister, Sarah Frances "Sally" FREEMAN b 1870, who married abt 1884 in TN Marion Fletcher BLEDSOE.

Moses 18?? Tom I've given these details about FREEMAN cousins in hopes that someone might recognize a name or place. I'm pretty sure that Alice and Lula /Lulu went to TEXAS, B U T WHERE ? and what happened to them? I had hoped I could find Alice's family thru her son, Eugene HAMBY or HANBY, but so far have found nothing. Any help, clues, ideas, leads will be most gratefully appreciated as I am trying to compile all the descendants of A C (Achilles) FREEMAN and Mary Ann PERRY. Have FREEMAN line back to 1700 in VA - NC. Janice ROBBINS FREEMAN [email protected]
