From Beth Sauceman
"I have just
finished reading your Freeman information. I feel sure we are working on the
same line, we just have to prove it. Our John, born 1816 SC, came to Cass Co.
GA in the late 1840's. Was there on the 1850 census. This is the last time I
found him and family on census in GA. I think some of the Freeman families went
over into Al, but I haven't pursued that yet as my library has only the 1850 AL
census index. However, by 1880 Joseph Kilpatrick FREEMAN was back in Bartow Co.
with wife Amanda Peek and his sister Mahala Caroline. Another brother, George
married 1878 in Bartow Co. and apparently lived the rest of his life there. Our
Joseph Kilpatrick would have been too young for Civil
War service. I have a
picture of Joseph K., probably made at the time of his marriage to Mary Abrams
Gray abt 1895. He also appears to be a very tall man, absolutely piercing eyes,
long nose, HUGE ears and hands. The same ears were passed on to his son Joseph
Bryan. I will keep you updated of any information I find, as I hope you will
me.

Note: Two Run Creek is
North of Cassville. Take 41 North from Cassville. On a 1987 map, looks like Two
Run Creek Road is on the right just past
Gaddis Road which is on the left and just before Cedar Creek Road which is on

There are several
FREEMAN specific documents at www.vicfreeman dot com .
Potential leads that I
have not sufficiently researched are marked between '***".
Sources. The basic
data (relationships, dates) for James and Lavina and most their descendants was
supplied by my aunt Carrie Freeman Ball in 1994. SInce then most of the
relationships and dates have been confirmed by other family members. I am
adding other sources as time permits.
2002-8-3 - A
genealogy chart Mike Freeman provided shows that James and Lavina had a son:
Marion or Morton Washington Freeman ?born/died 9-12-1857. The same chart shows
Lois Safronis Freeman born 10-20-1857. Marion/Morton could be their first born
child?
2003-2-14 - Package
from James D. Freeman II of the genealogy work his father performed:
Marion Washington
Freeman d 9-12-1857 was child of James and LVC Freeman. This would be just a month before Lois
Safronis Freeman was born. The package does not mention Lois.
2001-10 --The
following is from the notes of FELTON FREEMAN, now deceased who did the
research on this back in the 1930's or 40's. These notes were provided by
Houston Freeman of Rome , --
James D. Freeman served in the civil war
four years. After two years he was wounded by two minnie balls and sent home on
furlough. His daughter Nancy was a baby and was called the "War
Baby". ***Both James and his 18 year old brother are buried in
"Gaines Cemetery" at Crow Springs near Adairsville.*** No church is
there now. James Dickerson Freeman's father was born in Scotland.
Melvina Griffin Freeman died of a
hemorrhage in her throat caused by a severe cold. She is buried at the
Presbyterian Church at Euharlee, GA. Her mother was Nancy Caine who married a
"Whitter" in Ireland without parental consent. She and her husband
were exiled and started to the United States. During the 11 month voyage her
husband died. When she arrived in America she married a Griffin. The name
'Whitter" is now known as "Whitworth". ***Levina Griffin's family
were the Griffins who were some of the first lawyers in Rome.*** Her date of
birth was 5-4-1836. She died 9-15-1916.
-END of notes from
Felton Freeman--
2001-10 From Houston
Freeman:
All of James and Lavina's children were
born in Red Ligon community in Bartow County, GA near Mulinax Mountain. It is
uncertain as to where he was from - Ireland or Scotland. Most information puts
him from Scotland.
There are varying opinions as to the
middle name of James Freeman. I have always heard it as "Davis". Vic
Freeman has three documents that indicate his middle initial is R. It appears
the most convincing information shows his middle name was
"Dickerson". Being as he had a son named after him.
Houston believes that
James' mother or grandmother was a McClain. Houston and Ann Freeman believe
that James was a log splitter.
Notes from Vic:
Mullinax Mountain is 1,100 feet above
sea level. I have not yet found a Crow Springs near Adairsville, but have found
references to Crow Springs in Cunyus book History Of Bartow County. ***The Crow
Springs of these references appears to be near White, GA which is NE of
Cassville. On page 129, Cunyus says "The Baptist Church at Crow Springs
was built in 1868 on land given by J.L. Luther. It was originally on a hill,
but later removed nearer the spring." On page 179, Cunyus says: "Crow
Springs: in the 5th district, were first settled by William Crow of South
Carolina before the Civil War. A son, Linton C. Crow and his family, lives at
one of the springs (~1933). Best's Chapel and a Baptist church are located near
the other spring. Zimri Jackson operated a saw mill at the springs at one
time."***
Ref: Bartow Counties Cemeteries Vol 1,
page 470: If you magnify the map
significantly, centered directly beneath the 'TE" in "White West' in the center of the map
there is a Best Chapel. Beneath that and a little to the right there is a Crowe
Springs Church. Comparing this map with a current map of Bartow County, it
appears that Best Chapel was located: From Cassville go East on Cassville White
Road.Note that almost immediately there is a Shinal Gaines Road to the right.
Looks like Shinal Gaines Road ends at
Old Cassville White Road. Maybe Gaines Cemetery was on this Gaines Road?
Continuing on Cassville White Road (not old C-W Road) you will eventually cross
under Interstate 75. Just after passing I75 turn left (North) on Old Peeples
Valley Road which becomes Spring Place Road. On Old Peeples Valley Road , the
map looks like Old Peeples Valley Road intersects with Cassville Pine Log Road.
Go left (West/North). I can't tell if this is Cassville Pine Log Road or Old
Peeples Valley Road. After going left on Old Peeples Valley/Cassville Pine
Log Road the next left should be Gaines
Road. It looks like it is only a mile or less long. It ends at Crowe or Crowe Springs
Road. I can't tell. Maybe James is buried in this area around this Gaines
Road/Crowe Springs Road.
2001-09-29 I removed
middle initial from James Freeman.
2001-09-29 Email from
Houston Freeman:
"I just got
through going over some papers and notes of FELTON FREEMAN who is
a descendent of James
Freeman. James Freeman had several children one of
which was Jefferson
Davis Freeman (grandpa). Jeff Davis had a brother named
James Dickerson
Freeman Jr. which is Feltons grandpa. Feltons daddy was Paul
Freeman who is also
the daddy of Mable Freeman Hall, Ann Hall Stewarts
mother. Ann grew up on
19th street just across Maple street from where I grew
up. Felton did this
research when he got out of the Military sometimes in the
40"s or maybe
earlier. Ann has copies of all his notes. When I mentioned this
to Winston he said he
did remember Maude Fountain Stephens saying that James
Freemans full name was
James Dickerson Freeman. "
2001-09-20 Talked with
Houston Freeman. He thinks that James' name was James Davis Freeman, not James
R. Freeman. Several other people have told me the same thing. Also, he said
that James was a logsplitter, died topping a tree, was of Scotch ancestry and
his mother or grandmother was a McClain.

James may have died on
June 4, 1971 or 1873. Elmer Painter saw a family bible where the date was
listed as 6-4-1873. The Confederate Pension Request of Lavina Freeman shows
6-4-1871.
At the time of the
1860 census, James and Lavina lived in the 828 District which was Cassville.
For the July 13, 1867
Georgia Voters Rolls, James R. Freeman lived in the 5th (828 G.M) election
precinct of Bartow County, GA. For the 1870 census, they lived in Subdivision
No. 5 in Bartow County, Cartersville Post Office. There is a separate document
on vicfreeman dot com that goes into
detail about where James and Lavina lived.
According to U.S.
Census, James Freeman was born in South Carolina in 1833, maybe the son of
Canzada Freeman. His mother's name is unknown. William (b. about 1837) and John
(b. about 1843) Freeman may be his younger brothers. <1850 Cass Census>).
His family must have moved to Cass County, Georgia between 1840 and 1850
because Canzada does not show up in the 1840 census. James married LAVINA GRIFFIN on March 11,
1855 in Cass County. The only reference
to Canzada Freeman I have been able to find is the entry in the 1850
Cass County, GA census.
James R. enlisted in
Company 'C', 63rd Regiment Georgia Volunteer Infantry
See Military, Family
Related in this FTW database.
James was wounded June
1864 near Atlanta. He spent the remainder of the war at home in Cass County.
According to I.D. Henderson, who was with James when he was wounded, James
"was suffering from his wounds for a long time after the war."
According to Lavina,
James R. died in June 1871, in Bartow County. Huston thinks he is buried in an
old cemetery that is out in the woods close to Cassville. Maybe Stilesboro
Cemetery. Stilesboro is just south of Euharlee. ***The old Gaines Cemetery is also
a candidate.*** In 1910, Lavina submitted an "Application for Pension by a
Widow Under Act of 1910." According to the application, She and James R.
were living together when he died in 1871. He was wounded near Atlanta. As a
"Witness as to Service of Husband and Marriage", I.D. Henderson
stated that James was in the hospital when Johnston surrendered on April 26,
1865. Mr. Henderson also stated that he was with James when James received his
wound and personally knew of the circumstances. In the "Affidavit of Two
Freeholders" that was submitted with the pension request, J.O. Logan and
R.L. Griffin confirmed that Lavina (in 1910) owned the following property: - 60
acres of land with a value of $600 - One mule and one cow with a value of $110
- She also received $75 a year rent from the land.
<from application
for pension - Mrs. L.V.C. Freeman, April 20,1910>
The pension
application, the records for Company "C", and the 1850 Census for
Canzada Freeman refer to a James R. Freeman. I believe that James R. is our
ancestor because the pension application is for "L.V.C.Freeman". The
chances of there being another Freeman widow with those initials in Bartow
County is slight. What does the tombstone say? Haven't found the correct
graveyard. How about the obituary? Haven't
found the obituary. Did he die in 1871 or 1873? Also, a witness to the pension
request is R.L. Griffin, who is probably Ransom L. Griffin who is one of
Lavina's younger brothers.
I have checked the
available Cassville newspapers and have found no reference to any of these
events.
The Death Certificates
for both Robert Lee Freeman and Saphronia (Freeman) Fountain gave J.R. Freeman
as the father.
1850 census shows
James R. born in S.C.
1860 census shows
James as a farmer born S.C., Lavisa born GA. Value Real Estate = no value;
Personal Estate = $30
1870 census shows
James as farm hand born in S.C. Value Real Estate = no value; Personal Estate =
$125
1870 census shows
Lavina born in Ga.
1900 census shows Jeff
D's father and mother born in GA.
1910 census shows Jeff
D's father born in S.C. and mother born in Alabama.
According to Paula and
John Freeman (my brother) rememberances of conversations with Dave Freeman (my
father), James was a cook for the confederacy. Got out of the army during or
after the Civil War and settled in Kingston,GA. He was 6 ft 6 or 7 in tall and
weighed 300 lbs. This size may be important because reports from people
researching other Freeman's in Cass County in the 1850's report that some of
these Freeman's were also very large.
1992-12-29. 1870
census: Nat Archives,Phila, PA. Roll
#135 Page 206, Subdivision #5 Bartow County, GA. Cartersville Post Office.
Census was dated 19 July 1870. James was listed in the census as a farm hand,
with the value of real estate left blank, the value of personal estate was
listed as $128.00. Lavina owned 60 acres of land on Corson Road in Bartow
County between Euharlee and Rome. 34.10.113N 085.01.431W. Go out Chulio Road
past Powell Road (Floyd County), turn right on Corson Road. The Red Ligon School
(named for James Oliver "Red" Ligon) was at the intersection of
Chulio and Corson Roads. Go about three or three and a half miles. As you start
around a very small curve on the right, there is a cable line by a large cedar
tree. The house was just next to the tree. The house does not exist today.
Vestie, who was married to Judson Dunn, also lived on Corson Road, just before
you reach the old homeplace. They lived on the left side not a mile down. Their
house is gone and another one is built behind where it was but the chimney is
still standing, The homeplace was left to the two single children (Robert and
Fannie). It was sold when they died for $1,100 with James's grandchildren
getting between $1.00 - 2.00 each.(Kathleen got $2.00, Thollie and Bill got
$1.49).
Robert died in late
1930's(1937/38) and is buried at Oak Grove church (no markers except for recent
years). Fannie (Francis) died 1953 or 1954 and is buried at Euharlee. There is
no marker. Note: Winston helped dig her grave.
There is a study of
the Freeman's in Cass County in the 1850's at
www.geocities dot
net/vicfreeman.
Hunch: William J.
Freeman was James' brother. W.J. was born in South Carolina in 1839. He has
William A. (b 1861 in GA), Ana L. (b 1862 in Indiana), John L. (b 1870 in Kentucky),
Robert L. (b 1871 in Kentucky). He and all his kids lived in Kingston District
in GA in1880.
Added the following to
web page June 2001 "Cass1850.htm" - > From Beth Sauceman:
There are 5 John
Freeman's on the 1840 SC census index -- 1 in Marion Co., 2 in Abbeville, 1 in
Fairfield and 1 in Chester or Chesterfield. Which one was born abt 1816,
married Bridget (Powers?) abt 1835? Children: Ann, born 1836; Sarah, born 1838;
Louisa, born 1842; Mahala Caroline, born 1844; John W, born 1847; George T,
born 1848; Lewis P born 1850; and Joseph Kilpatrick, born 1853. This family had
moved to Cass Co., GA (now Bartow Co.) by 1850. Other Freeman families on the
1850 Cass Co. census, all from SC, were: William, born abt 1801, wife Frances;
Johnson, born 1804, wife Polly; Reuben, born 1811, wife Sarah; Canzada, born
1814. Were they all brothers? Living in Reuben's h/h was his mother, Sarah, age
66, born NC. Information on any of these people greatly appreciated.
Mary Freeman Childers
remembers Thollie telling her that James was a Cherokee. Have not been able to
confirm this? Newspaper obituary? Winston Freeman does not remember any mention
of Indian Blood. Carrie has some pictures with James Davis Freeman handwritten
on them.

From: Elmerpainterjr Subject: James Freeman
... I have no idea what his middle intial was
but in the old Bible I saw at a man that owned an egg farm at Spring Creek his
initials appeared to be either D or G. My best guess would be a D. Great Uncle Thollie (Freeman) had a family
Bible that he said the entries were made by his mother Mary. I have no idea
James was mentioned in his Bible. However he did tell me that his mother Mary
had taught her husband Jeff to write.
Thollie and my Grandfather both mentioned to
me about an aunt that lived in Alabama that had James Freeman's discharge from
the Civil War and she was also suppose to have a minnie ball that had been in
his leg several years and finally gangrene set in and it had to be removed.
Thollie told me that he had been to
James unmarked grave at a churchyard in Cassville where his wife is also buried
in an unmarked grave. If Dave (Freeman) was still living he might have known
because he went with Thollie to the site.
Vic's note: James'
wife Lavina is buried at Euharlee Cemetery.
Granddaddy Clarence
Freeman also told me he thought his grandfather James came from Virginia. Seems
like he also mentioned Clay Co., NC as a place where he once lived. Granddaddy
Freeman also told me James was once champion log splitter in North Georgia,
that he could split a log clean through the eye or bow the axe handle. He stood
6'7" and weighed 310 pounds. I have been told by Granddaddy that James was
killed while he was topping a tree, that it swayed him out. Do you know
anything about this?
I'm not sure what
company James was in during the Civil War. I heard that he was an ass't doctor
at one time and I heard that he was once a cook.

Wed, 27 Oct 99 From: Elmerpainterjr
I have no idea who the aunt in Ala was but
Clarence and some other brothers visited
with her. Sigsbee, is near Doerun, Georgia. It is also called Jackson, Ga. Clarence and family lived on several farms
there. My mother showed me two houses where they lived. One of his daughters is
buried at the Rose of Sharon Church near Doerun, Ga. Wright Proctor and his wife Elmore Thrash
Proctor lived not far from Clarence, they lived at Funston, Ga. Also I'll have
to check but another Freeman brother
lived near Moultrie, Georgia. His name may have been Eddie, but I'm not
certain.
Probably my reference
to ass't doctor would be what we know now as a corpman in the Medical Corp.
Swayed out of a tree
is caused by rapid motion caused by activity topping it and the tree starts
swaying, etc.
Incidentally my aunt
Sarah told me that Samuel H. Drummond died of wounds received while fighting in
CW at Kenesaw Mt. Have you heard about this?

Charles Blackwell
***Vic, the Aunt in Alabama in given the P O
Address of Cedar Bluff, Ala. This address is not positive but as I recall the
letter was written Mary to Arah in 1893.*** A mention of the mother following
the daughter to Cherokee County, with the Cedar Bluff, Ala. given to Arah as a
specific mailing address. I'll have to re-read these writings to be positive,
but I think the name was given as Eula. Also, recall the mention of Jennie as
the newly wed who moved to Cherokee Co., Ala. There is also the mention of
Buelah King. I think she must have married a King, therein, she would be a
sister -in-law. Of these I am not positive, but I have mentioned them before
and would suggest checking in these three Ala. counties: Cherokee, Jackson, and Dekalb for the names surnames of
Easley, Bynun, Freeman, and King. These
people(Bynum's and Easley's) later moved to Titus County , Texas and some of
them subsequently moved to Arkansas (Eula Easley). This move would have
occurred around 1897-1905 I believe.

From:
Freeman, James
...
***On a related issue,
Dad (LTC James Davis Freeman 1923-1992) used to tell a story about how
Sherman's army spent the night at James' farm and then burned everything when
they left. In your
past research did you
ever look at the archives for whatever newspaper was for that area of Bartow
County.*** I am wondering if there was anything to the story that maybe there
was something mentioned ... of course, Sherman's boys were busy burning most of
Northwest Georgia at the same time. Anyway a thought.

Obituary furnished by
Lisa Ellis.
from the Bartow
Tribune, Thursday Sept 28, 1916:
"Mrs. Vinie
Freeman
Mrs. Vinnie Freeman,
an old and greatly respected woman of Bartow County and related to many
prominent citizens of this section of Georgia, died Monday night at 2 o'clock
at her home in Euharlee. Mrs.Freeman was the widow of James Freeman, once a
highly respected citizen of the county, and was a sister of Cartersville's
esteemed fellow townsman, R.L. Griffin. She was 80 years of age and a
consistent and loyal member of the Methodist Church. She is survived by five
children, Mrs. Dunn, Mrs. Bright, Miss Fannie Freeman, and Jeff and Robert
Freeman. Funeral services were held at Euharlee Tuesday afternoon, attended by
hosts of friends, neighbors, and relatives."
From copy of the
transaction:
Recorded January 27,
1885. Indenture made Jan 27, 1885 between MELISSA STEPHENS and Mrs. L.V.C.
FREEMAN for $600, 17th district, 3rd section of Bartow County, South halves of
lots 437, 438, 439 containing sixty acres more or less. Melissa Stephens (her
mark). Witnessed by C.W. Dempsey and R.L. Giffin.
From Bartow County
Clerk of Superior Court records:
On 7 December 1873, (recorded 3 March 1876)
Malissa Stephens sold for $600 cash to H.C. Miller lots no 437, 438, 439 in the
17th district. She got the land from her husband John M. Dempsey
(deceased). She was already Malissa
Stephens at this time.
On the same day, Malissa Stephens bought the
land back from H.C. Miller for $600. This second transactin was recorded 4
March 1876. I have copies of the documents.
I tried to tract the
sales of these lots. I could not find where John M. Dempsey had purchased them.
I could find no record that the land had been transferred to Malissa. The only
transactions I could find were the two transactions on 7 December 1873, the
sales to Lavina Freeman on 27 January 1885, and the sale below where Lavina's
estate was sold in 1938.

I've heard how one of
the daughters lived very near Vinnie (Lavina,Lavicy)on Corson Road in Bartow
County. The whole truth is even more interesting. This is directly from the
1900 census for Bartow County, Ed 14, Sheet 2:

family - no kids yet
31 32 Fountain, Jesse - this Safronis Freeman's
family - One child.
32 33 Hudson, James
33 34 Leale,
- can't read the census
34 35 Freeman, Levisa V - this is my ancestor. In
her household are
Nancy (age 35), Robert (age 33), Fannie
(age 31), Lavina V (age 27)
and Dunn, Judson. ALL are listed as
single.
35 36 Le..., Albert - can't read the census.
36 37 Bright, David
James and Lavina had 8
kids. . The youngest was born about 1872. In 1900, all living kids lived almost
in a row (probably both sides on rural road) on the same road! The two
exceptions were James Dickerson (the eldest son) and Jeff D. James Dickerson
Freeman lived in Chulio, which is just across the county line from where the Freeman's listed above lived in 1900. Jeff
lived in same district as Lavina. He is listed on page 4 vice page 2 of the
1900 census for Bartow Iron Hill. That means he could not have been too far
away.
How about 1910?
Jesse Fountain
(Safronis), Robert Freeman (with Levina, and Fannie), Wilson Bright (Maggie),
and Judson Dunn (Vestie) lived in a row with no intervening households.
Both the 1900 and 1910
census shows that Lavina had 9 children with 8 still living. The child that had
died is probably Marion Washington Freeman died September 12, 1857. References
to this child are contained in the document that Bruce Gross, Mike Freeman and
James D. Freeman II provided.

I found out that
William Jefferson Freeman is actually
William Jefferson Davis Freeman and that he was in Indiana with the Satterfield
family when his daughter Arrie Freeman was born. William Ambrose Freeman was
his 1st born and he was born in Bartow Co in 1861, but Arrie was born in
Indiana in 1867. There were 3 more boys after Arrie and they were all born in
Kentucky. Edward-1868, John Thomas-1870 and Robert Lee-1871. Edward died young
and they all somehow ended up back in Bartow County minus their mother who was
Elizabeth Satterfield, daughter of Hezekiah Satterfield and Martha Duncan.
William Jefferson
Davis Freeman, born 1838, in South Carolina, and died 1902 in Jones Co., Ms.
moved with his son, William Ambrose, Arrie Freeman who married Winfield Scott
Burnside, and Robert Lee and John Thomas, to Ellisville,Jones Co.,Ms. in 1898
during the flu epidemic. They came from Bartow Co. to Talladega Co., Al. and
then on to Ms.
I am still digging and
I will keep you informed as I go.

William Jefferson
Freeman, brother of James, is my gg grandfather on my father\'s side of the
family. My grandmother was Ethel Freeman, daughter of William Ambrose Freeman.
One of William Ambrose\'s siblings was Aurrie Freeman who married Winfield
Scott Burnside. Another sibling of William Ambrose was Robert Lee Freeman, born
1872,and he died in Ms. in 1904. A sibling of my grandmother, Ethel, was
William Marion Freeman, born 1889 in Talladega Co., Al., died 1906 in Ms. It is
interesting that names like AURRIE and JEFFERSON and MARION are showing up in
both James and William Jefferson\'s line.

WJ moved with his
mother and siblings from South Carolina. I do not know where in SC but I do
know that he appears on the 1850 census for Cass/Bartow County. Our family tradition says that he was a POW
in PA. during the Civil War. I do not know the names of his siblings but I do
know on the 1850 Census he appears with a Canzada Freeman and a James(16)
John(7) and William (13). I do know
he was born in 1838.
The mother's maiden
name of Duncan is a family oral tradition as is the thing about the divorce.
However, it could be that WJ GOT THE DIVORCE from his 1st wife, Sarah A.
Meadows and then married Elizabeth Satterfield. There is an Elizabeth
Satterfield living in Cass/Bartow at the same time as WJ. His son, William
Ambrose is born in Kingston, in Jan of 1861 and
WJ enters service in CW in Co. K, 19th Inf on June 11, 1861.

The 1880 Pickens

that the census taker took the data from a neighbor.
Also there are the

I changed the
following data:
James S. born
10/21/1860 to Nov 1859.
wife from Dosia Perry
to Mary M.
Daughters Arrie and
Beatrice are not in the 1900 Census,
but a daughter Viola b
Nov 1889 is.
--- end Jan 1, 2001
From either Polk
County or Floyd County Heritage book:
James S Freeman is
listed as James Dickerson Freeman husband of Doshia Perry Freeman.
It also says that
Doshia was Jesse Paul Freeman's mother. I believe that the 1900 and 1910
Federal Census disproves this.
Nov 10, 2001
There are some
discrepancies between the children info I have received and what the census
shows.
I will make my formal
list of children match the census.
The discrepancies are
Aurrie (not in census), Viola and Birdie (in census, not in list from Houston).
Chances are that Aurrie and Birdie are the same person. Viola may have died
between 1900 and 1910. She was 10 in 1900.
1900 census shows they
were married 20 years.
Jim Freeman was killed
at Robert's Brothers store in Aragon, GA. He was a watchman and was shot to
death by burglars on 28 April 1914. Wish I had the death certificate - probably
issued in Floyd County? The death certificate may show the 'Jr'. I have yet to
find anything in writing to substantiate
the 'Jr'. I do not doubt it, just want to prove it.
02-14-2003: From James
D. Freeman II: Jim was shot 17 times and is buried in Aragon in 1913/1914.
Aragon is in Polk County, GA.
From Cedartown
Standard Thursday 30 April 1914:
Murder at Aragon,
Officer Freeman
killled on Tuesday night
While guarding the
Aragon Stores against burglars.
The Aragon Stores at
Aragon have suffered from burglaries from time to time, and with the hope of
eating the criminals Special Baliff FREEMAN has been sleeping in one of the
buildings.
Tuesday night about
12:20 o'clock he evidently heard some one enter and got up to investigate. The
intruders met and shot him to death, inflicting four wounds and made their
escape.
Mr. B.C. Higdon heard
the shots at the engine room of the Aragon MIlls, and ran to the store. He
found the back door open and summoned Mr. A.C. Auchmutey. They went in and
found FREEMAN lying dead.
Caroner J.O. Crabb,
accompanied by sheriff J.E. Dempsey, Messrs E.H. Carter and A.C. Duke went over
yesterday morning. Mr. Crabb holding an inquest. There were probably at least
two assailants as the bullets were of different pattern.
Mr. Freeman had been
here Tuesday with a prisoner. He was a good officer and his tragic end is
deeply regretted.
From Cedartown
Standard Thursday 7 May 1914:
Aragon Atrocity
Has occasioned
greatest excitement.
The murder last week
of Mr. J.D. FREEMAN, the constable and watchman at Aragon, created wild
excitement at the time, and there has been little abatement.
NIne bullets entered
Freeman's body, fired from two guns, and there was every indiction that he made
a desperate struggle for his life at his post in the Aragon Stores.
The rain at the time
of the tragedy obliterated the tracks of the murdrers, and clues have been hard
to find.
Buster Wade was
arrested on Tuesday and brought to jail here because of threats which he is
alleged to have made against Freeman.
SHeriff J.E. Dempsey
is spending most his time at Aragon, trying to ferret out the criminals.
A Pinkerton detective
is also there working on the case, and uch additional excitement was created
Tuesday night by someone firing a shot through his window, thus leading to the belief
that the murderers are still there.

Notes for DOSIA PERRY:
In the 1910 Federal
Census for Bartow County, GA Dosia was listed as 44 years old. The census also
had some obvious inaccuracies:
1. Showed that James and Dosia had been married
for 30 years. The 1900 census shows that James was married to Mary in 1900.
2. Showed that they had 10 children, all still
living. The names of four of the five childred listed in the household are the
same as those listed in the 1900 census for James and Mary.

494 Jessie Belle Williams Freeman and Jesse Paul Freeman
Slain Deputy
Jessie Belle Williams
Freeman was born in Bartow County, June
28, 1887 and died April 11, 1972, in Floyd County. She was the daughter of
Isaiah and Ellen Dora Bruce Williams. She spent most of her life in Floyd
County. She was an accomplished seamstress and worked for many years in the
alteration department of Millers Department on Broad Street. She also was hired
by many prominent ladies of Rome to sew
for them. Jessie was married to Jesse Paul Freeman on March 24, 1901. They had five children.
James Finnemore;
Dewitt W.;
Willie B.;
Felton 0pal; and
Mable Inez Freeman
Hall (married W. Colquitt Hall).
Jesse Paul Freeman was born October 31,
1882, son of Doshia Perry Freeman and
James Dickerson Freeman. Paul was a policeman in Rockmart and also a guard at the Floyd County Prison, also known as the
"chaingang". He later became a deputy sheriff in Rome and worked as a
nightwatchman at the chemical works. Paul Freeman was shot and killed November
2, 1930 by John Newton Robinson, alleged 'bootlegger", according to an
account in the Rome News Tribune. Paul was driving by Robinson's residence and
two other men were in the car with him. As they got in front of the house they
saw a Chrysler roadster parked in front. They came along side the car and saw a
man come around the house stuffing a bottle into his coat. Freeman stopped the
car, jumped out and gave chase to the man and the liquor. The man retraced his
steps, ran back around the house and as he passed a corner of the house, broke
the bottle on the side. Witnesses stated that the unknown man and Freeman
disappeared but they could still see their feet and Freeman caught the man he
was chasing. A few seconds later a shot rang out and Freeman fell. His
companions who were still in the car drove away and the parked Chrysler
roadster also left. According to witnesses in the Freeman car, a second before
Paul was killed they heard a woman scream inside the house saying, "Don't
do that, don't do that!" The voice was Robinson's wife who was in the
house but told officers that she did not see the shooting. When police arrived they found Paul Freeman lying near
the house. He died instantly, the entire load from the shotgun striking the
neck and face. Robinson stated he did
not know Freeman and just saw a man coming
toward the bsck of the house with a gun. He said the man stated, "Now I've got you, damn you!"
Robinson grabbed his shotgun and fired.
Robinson later stated he did know Freeman because Robinson had served a term in
Floyd County chaingang and during that time Freeman was a guard there at the
camp. Officers stated Robinson was known as a "bootlegger" and a
"thief'. Police were not satisfied with Robinson's self-defense plea as
they knew "Freeman to have been a man who hardly ever drew his pistol or
gun in pursuit of his duty and as a man
who never cursed."
John Newton Robinson was found Guilty of
the murder of Jesse Paul Freeman on January 21, 1931 and was sentenced to life
imprisonment. The jury deliberated only 30 minutes.
