  • 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).
