    Notes:

    John Thomas Freeman served in the Confederate Army after the birth of his daughter Emily, in Co. "C" Capt. Brown's 7 Stars Mississippi Artillery. He was captured, but was paroled or escaped within days. His captor and he were both said to be Masons. He served until the end of the war, and received a pension in his old age from the State of Mississippi for his service.

    He was a planter, and he moved his family from Copiah Co., MS (Barlow community) to Franklin Co., MS (Hamburg, MS), where some descendants live in the area in 2002. Reunion of his descendants held 2nd Saturday in June almost every year in Hamburg. He owned a store, and his property was used for cotton farming. John Thomas Freeman died 23 June 1917, and is buried in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, located two miles east of Hamburg, MS. This town is not on the state-issued highway map in 1995, but is shown on most published atlas maps of Mississippi.
