Notes:

FREEMAN The name fIrst appears in Bladen with Abraham, Samuel and
William, all of "mixt blood" on a tax list in 1774. In 1775, Abraham
Freeman was a Free Person of Color, possibly Black, and in 1776 Roger
Freeman appeared in a tax list of Bladen with a family of 8. There were two
men named Benjamin and William Freeman, white, in Barnes District of
south Robeson in 1776. Abram and James Freeman, of current Bladen,
signed a petition regarding road work around the Waccamaw in 1802. All
of the Freeman families listed in the 1850 census of Robeson were given as
white and dated back to before 1790 in the area. Again the constant
confusion as the family was listed as White, Mulatoe, "Free Persons of
Color" and possibly Black. The name was self-identified as Indian in the
1900 Census of Robeson and listed in the 1900 Indian Census Schedule.
Death records show the name as White or Indian. Indian name found in 1919
and 1940 in Alfordsville, Fairmont and Thompson townships, related to
Bowen, Chavis, Hunt, Sampson and Scott families. Cited at Berea Baptist
Church cemetery in Pembroke and elsewhere by Jane Blanks Barnhill,
Sacred Grounds, 2997, a listing of 162 Lumbee cemeteries in Robeson
County. An Indian Freeman had intermarried into the Epps family in the
obituary of Rosa Lee Clark Epps, 70, in Fairmont (The Robeson Journal,
Oct. 25, 2006). The name is found among the Melungeons of Tennessee
(DeMaree, 1992).
