The Freemans to which I belong came from Keysoe in Bedfordshire in England.
These people are listed in the Family Tree Maker family Archives Volume 8
Look for Nicholas Freeman, Jeremiah Freeman, Elijah Freeman & Charles &
George.
They are also listed in the LDS Ancestral File
They were all Baptists (Puritans/Pilgrims) and some members of the clan
might have come to the US in the 1700s
Best of luck
Let me know if you find any connection.
