Births R929-374813 Hum 1682-1800/Births/Chester Co. Pa.I had hopes that this Benjamin could be the one I was looking for as Benjamin Freed, as the Benjamin Freed I am looking for is on the 1790 census in Chester, Pa. In 1820 Harrison Co. Ohio/ and 1830 Columbiana County, Ohio. In 1840 MASON, Wva, 1850 Mason,Wva.I`m not certain that the one on the 1790 census is his father or not but Benjamin Freed was born in 1790 and this Benjamin did have two children in 1790.This family used the name of Fredd, Fred, and Freed.They are Irish Quakers.Perhaps you can look on the Freed Board and find your relatives.If this helps would you please contact me to let me know if this Benjamin connects to the one in Columbiana county, Ohio.Thanks.
