Dear Cuz Becky: I referred back to some info my cousin, Bill Vance, had shared with me. According to Bill, the definitions would be the following: Freeman Male of legal age with the right to vote, own land and practice a trade. Inmate One who dwells with another or others in the same house. For example: We find William Vance on the tax rolls for E. Nantmeal as a "freeman" in 1771. He appears as an "inmate" on the 1774 tax rolls for E. Nantmeal implying he was married sometime between 1771 and 1774. Hope this helps. Hugs, Cuz Ida
