An analysis of that census and of the known children of John Kenyon would indicate that Giles had a family at that time with six daughters under 16 years of age. He moved to Voluntown shortly after 1774, as he was not listed in the Rhode Island military census of 1777. He was listed Voluntown, Conn.In the census of 1790 with a family of one male over 16 (Giles), two males under 16, and 4 females.. You could deduce from this that Freeman was born after the Rhode Island census of 1774 and had married (at least, he had left home) by 1790. Since he is not living with his father and does not appear as a head of household in his own right it must be assumed that he was living with his bride's parents. In the states of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Vermont, I can find but two listings with more than one male over 16. Both are in Orange Co., VT -- Lenox Titus [02 02 02] and Michael Titus {03 03 05]. These would appear to be sons of Ephraim Titus [01 00 01] Sorry, but I can't figure out the township, but I know there were Rhode Islanders in Strafford. John Folsom Orlando, FL
