Will of Edmund Freeman
John Freeman was the father of Edmund Freeman. We estimate that he was born in 1530. We know that he was buried in Pulborough, Sussex co. England on May 2, 1629. That he had considerable in the way of assets can be inferred from the will of his son Edmund, the father of Edmund Freeman, the immigrant.
This will of Edmund Freeman's was dated May 30, 1623, just a week before he was buried in Pulborough, Sussex co. England on June 6, 1623. The bequests set forth in this will were:
200 pounds to wife Alice (Coles) also 1/3rd of his lands plus his copyhold.
