This is the wrong prifile for Henry Freeman

michael,
did you correct henry's profile?
or does anne have to do it? if we know it is wrong we need to get it changed.
cheers
jon

Your info is correct. I also descend from Henry Freeman via daughter Rachel.

Private User, do we need to do work to recreate/reconnect the other Henry Freeman (the Englishman)?

Hi Harald! I spoke with AM last weekend, while on holiday. No, please do not install another false English Freeman. That line was "invented" by Gustave Anjou, trying to tie the NJ Freemans to royal lines, like their family, the Jaques/Knights. The Freeman line from NJ (all four US Freeman lines connect in Middlesex NJ) dead-ends with Henry Sr. I have found an English registry from 1513 to 1890 (including Scotland and Wales), recording all "Gypsey and/or Traveller families". The document is 79 pages long. Google Romany names in Britain and the site comes up. The Freeman surname, led by the first names of Samuel, William and Mary, figure prominently, listed in one of 3 categories: "Gypsies passing through". I studied the document carefully and I surmised that "Gypsies passing through" insinuated familes that traveled the border lands of Wales and Scotland. That would indeed fit Mark's DNA test as a dominent Welsh ancestry for his Y-line. Mark leads the way in 67-marker matches on the Freeman surname project headed by Hope Freeman Carnicle at FTDNA. This Roma discovery could explain why the Freeman line deadends with Henry Sr. It was said that his father's name was Samuel, so it is lining up... Anyway, don't add any more Freemans to that part of the tree, PLEASE! I have no idea what Anne Marit was thinking when she added that bogus profile. She said something about creating a "place-holder" or something akin to that...

I don't know Jon, AM told me that profile "was not her job", so I suggest writing Justin or Angus. So frustrating getting that line cleaned-up from all the bogus Anjou lies. I get something posted and communicate with managers and by the next day, another inaccuarte profile pops-up. Some of these people are on the collaboration pool, making things even more vexing! Mark had 100,000 ancestors a couple of weeks ago, now has 102 from all the wrong and bogus lines and disconnections. VERY frustrating! If you can help out at all, Jon (and you have total access to our tree on ancestry for reference, public tree: Freeman-Humphrey), that would be awesome! Have so many melt-downs in so many areas, my head is spinning!!!!

This is my original info before this BAD merge happened:
Henry Freeman
Birth 8 JUL 1669 in Elizabeth, NJ, USA
Death 10 OCT 1763 (94) in Woodbridge, NJ, USA
1695 Age: 25 Marriage to Anne Elizabeth Baignoux Bowne (1673-1763)
Woodbridge, NJ, USA

and
==
Spouse: Elizabeth Baigneaux (1673-1760) Married 1695

Is her maiden name Baigneaux, Baignoux, Benue, Bowne or Browne?

Angus, the Unknown Profile profile does not show any revisions and not even multiple managers which a merged and maintained profiles would show, so you are probably just looking on an untouched duplicate of the profile.

Thanks Brox, my concern is what would be the proper name for the person and also each profile has different parents.
Unknown Profile
parents are
Unknown Profile
and
Unknown Profile

whereas
Ann Elizabeth Freeman
parents are
Unknown Profile
and
Lydia Bowne

Also Benue sounds very much like Baignoux and Baigneaux

several google searches have jean or john baignoux & elizabeth hall as parents of elizabeth benue
then elizabeth benue is shown without the browne. if michael sortomme is the lead on this i would and in the past, have left it to her. i don't at this point know where browne or bowne comes from. benue is a surname change that is believable for the times.

Michael Sortomme
Hate to bother you but are you able to shed any light on this?

I have come across this confusion with parents often and women missing from one to 3 generations on the Freeman line, in a row. The same confusion exists in the Harris, Goodspeed, Parrum/Parham, MacArthur, McCarter, Ferguson, Allen, Clark, Judd lines and many more. Its Anjou's signature, of sorts. Baigneaux is my feeling, studying the New Jersey and Barnstable info. The Freemans are tightly connected to the Bowne Family (DNA and genealogically), at that time pronouced "Boon". I suggest that Bowne, Boohn, Boon and all variations of Daniel Bohne's family. Its not a stretch, but considering the family had strong holdings in the Cumberland Gap and are related to the orignial land dead holders of the Carolinas, its a possibility, to be sure....Hope this helps--back to work!

Should read: is a stretch...

I think I am getting into some areas of your expertise, would appreciate any help you can offer..

I'll have to consult our tree on ancestry to get a good hit on this, Angus. I'll try to make time this coming weekend. Hope that helps...
Feel free to take a look. Its rough in places because not all the sources and info transferred.

Freemans are on both trees.

With the help of Private User

We found out
Mary Browne
Mary Holmes, daughter of Rev. Obadiah Holmes and Katherine Hyde, was born c.1628 in England and died c.1690 in Rhode Island. She married Capt. John BROWNE. Do not confuse with sister Lydia Mary who married John BOWNE (no "r").

and
Lydia Bowne
Lydia Mary Holmes, daughter of Rev. Obadiah Holmes, was born in 1644 in Rhode Island and died 1693 in New Jersey. She married Capt. John BOWNE. DO NOT confuse with sister Mary who married Capt. John BROWNE (with "r").

This is great info, Maria, excellent! Explains why we genetically match with Bowne, Bohn, Boone, Brown, Browne. Did you post the source info on the profiles? Have a great weekend, y'all!

Would a letter from Obadiah prove that Mary and Lydia are different people?

http://www.archive.org/stream/americanfamilyof00holm#page/52/mode/2up

The book, The American family of Rev. Obadiah Holmes by Col. J. T. Holmes, Published 1915 by [Stoneman press] in Columbus, O .

p. 53
Obadiah writes to his family and to Mary he writes: My daughter Mary: remember Mary, she chose the better part.
To Lydia, he writes: My daughter Lidiah, remember how Lidiah's heart was opened.

Same book I referenced above, on page 55, "Lydia became the wife of Captain John Bowne and they finally settled in Middletown in East Jersey."

On the next page, the book quotes a newspaper article written by a descendant in 1888. He wrote "Mary, daughter of Rev. Obadiah Holmes, married John Browne, born 1634, the son of Rev. Chad Browne."

Hello to everyone. Henry Freeman and Anna Elizabeth Baignoux are my eighth great-grandparents. The confusion around Elizabeth's last name Baignoux stems from her father Jean Baignoux who was a representative for the governor of New Amsterdam. He traveled between the different colonies, english, french, and dutch, so he appears in many civic accounts in all three languages. He apparently was from Baigneaux, in France, so his last name is a place name, Baignoux. Jean was of small stature so was Jean Petit in some records, Klyn Jan (Dutch), Kleyn Jan (Dutch). The last name also took different spellings in the different records according to the colony and someone's interpretation of hearing his name, Abignou, Benue, Benu, Benew, Binjou, Beenyou. He had three wives, Elizabeth Hall, married 6 Dec 1670; Anna Hoede (Hoedt), married about 1673, and Jenne Stevens 1680. Anna is the mother of Anna Elizabeth.
