John, son of James Freeman & Lucy Foster--md Frances Eugenia
According to the info on the Williamson website, James Freeman and Lucy Foster had ch: Sarah, Robert, Dred J., Foster, James, Eliza, and John. John is said to have married Elizabeth Goolsby (somewhere else it said he md Elizabeth Wilks, too) and had the following children:J.Q.A., Joseph A., Margaret W., and Eliza Jane (who md C.H. McGinnis).
However, the John who married Elizabeth Goolsby and Elizabeth Wilkes had to have been another John.
I have probate records from Troup Co, GA, showing that Robert left slaves to his brother John in his will when he died in 1840.When John died in 1842 in Marshall Co, MS, the slaves went to his four children, J.Q.A., Joseph A., Margaret W., and Eliza Jane, "now wife of O.H. McGinnis".
Records in Marshall Co, MS, show an inventory of the 24 slaves left to the 4 children by their uncle Robert Freeman of Georgia in his will.
Deeds of Marshall Co, MS, show that John Freeman and his wife Frances E. "in consideration of the love and paternal affection we have for our daughter Jane Eliza and her husband Oliver Hazzard Perry McGinnis" give her some land in Marshall Co, proving that John's wife was named Frances E., not Elizabeth.Family tradition says her name was Frances Eugenia Alston.In 1850 and 1870 she is shown living with John Q.A. and in 1880 she's living with some of his children.
Does anyone know when and where John & Frances were married?
J.Q.A. was John Quincy Adams Freeman, and he married Sarah Ann Alston (said to be a cousin) abt 1854 in MS.Margaret married Frederick B. Ryan in 1855 and died in 1857.Jane Eliza died in Bastrop Co, TX, between 1860-1880.I believe Joseph A. died in DeSoto Co, MS, in 1867.Another son, Samuel, died in 1841 at the age of 17.
I would like to hear from any descendants of John Quincy Adams Freeman and Sarah Ann Alston.
