Hi Joyce, Yes I have the same people as you do only where you have a James I
have another John Jr.who married a Sarah Merrick. John was born Dec 1651.
Then I have a John Sr.born abt 1627 in England HE married a Mercy Prince. I
got that from a lady who sent me some papers and some copies of wills. but I
forgot to write it in my book. I have to go though stacks of papers to find
it. Will start looking tomorrow.
you said you wanted names from Aaron freeman Sr. down Do you want birth
dates and marriages if I have them. I'm kinda new to this on the net so
please forgive my style. Let me know
Take Care Barb
