Colonel Bridges Freeman, Sr

Please see the comments from the manager of a Freeman DNA project at the end. It's unclear that ANY of the children listed for Bridges Freeman are actually his children. He left no will.

It's also the opinion of the DNA manager, based on two good pieces of evidence, that Bridget, the wife of Bridges Freeman, is not the daughter of his friend, Francis Fowler, but may be a close relative of some sort of Fowler.

Also, his first wife was Bridgett, his second wife was Jane, daughter of George Evelyn who colonized much of Maryland.

There seem to have been bad merges in the past since Bridget was 'Bridget Evelyn Fowler Freeman' until I erased the middle name, presumably from a merger of the two wives, Jane Evelyn and Bridget (perhaps Fowler).

As a young man in his twenties he emigrated to the Virginia Colony by 1625, where he married. He was appointed to a position in a joint stock company of the Virginia Company, called the Magazine (or Magine), which was dissolved in 1620. When elected in 1629, he served one session of the House of Burgesses for Pasbyhay country, north along the James River, and in 1632 he served a session for the Chickahominy tract of land. As a Burgess, he rose in rank to Lt. Col. From 1635 to 1655 he amassed about 1550 acres of land in total referred to as the Tomahunn Plantation near the mouth of the Chicahominy River, on the south (Charles City County, VA.). He also owned land that extended east of the Chicahominy, James City, Co. VA, referred to as Freeman's Point. He was reelected in 1647 to the house of Burgesses. He was also appointed to the Governor's Council, in the provisional government of Virgina Colony, for two terms that ended about 1655. Bridges Freeman gave away a portion of his land according to his Last Will and Testament, and died between 1660-1680. One record states that Bridges Freeman was a Justice for James City County in 1680. A possible relative, Thomas Freeman, and some of the Bennet family were murdered by the Powhatan Indians in the Virginia massacre of 1623.

Opinion on descendants of Bridges Freeman"

http://carnicle.com/DNA_Project/opinion.htm

"There are differing opinions on the descendants of Lt. Col. Bridges Freeman that have been
passed down and continue to thrive. Perhaps DNA testing will answer the question once and for all. We know that, during his lifetime, Lt. Col. Freeman accumulated considerable amounts of land, the majority of which was along the Chickahominy River in both James City and Charles City Counties. We also know that Bridges Freeman was married to a lady by the name of Bridgett. We can be fairly confident in stating that Bridgett was not the daughter of Bridge's friend and neighbor, Francis Fowler. First of all, the early colonist, Francis Fowler was born about 1601-1602 and would have been too young to be the father of a daughter of marriageable age in 1635. Additionally, in the 150 acres of land granted to Bridges Freeman by West on Dec 1st 1635 it specifically stated "50 acres for the personal adventure of his wife Bridget Freeman." In usage, the term "personal adventure" designates those persons who paid their own way to come to the colony or performed other services such as exploration etc. were entitled to a grant of land. With the close relationship between the Fowlers and Bridges (i.e. land bequeathed to Bridges upon the death of Mrs. Frances (Antonia) Fowler) it may well be that Bridget was, in some way related to Frances or Antonia as a sister, niece or cousin. I have seen pedigree where Frances had a sister named Bridget...but have not seen documentation to support that information. Another possibility that has been brought up is that Bridges may have married the widow Bridget Lowther who leased land next to a parcel owned by Bridges Freeman in 1632. She also, may be a candidate if 1) she was of an age where she could have born children and 2) if she was eligible for head rights and they were not issued when she first arrived. We do not know her maiden name...so she may have been related to Mr. or Mrs. Fowler. Thomas J. Reed has done extensive research on the early Virginia Freeman families and he had found a record for the arrival of an 18-year-old lady named Bridget Prowes who arrived shortly after Bridges brought in his brother Bennett.... another possibility if she was entitled to head rights.

As no will has been found for Bridges some assumptions must be made. In my opinion, it would be reasonable that one or more of his children would have inherited some of his vast holdings of land. Another man named Bridges Freeman was a justice in James City County in 1680. It may be that he was a son of Lt. Col. Bridges Freeman. Other men with the Freeman surname acquired land in James City County possibly through inheritance, grant or purchase after the death of the good Col. were Phillip (1661 & 1673/4), Charles (1663), George, (owned 197 acres by 1704) and George, Jr. (1713). Another entry in 1685 eludes to a Freeman "in the Piney Woods, from Chickahominy Gate along Mr. Freeman's land." Unfortunately we do not know his first name. Possible names for sons of Bridges Freeman have been put forth...but we have no evidence to verify this information.

Several references to men carrying the Freeman surname surface in Elizabeth City/York and later Gloucester. Christopher Stokes received 300 acres in head rights in Elizabeth City County on July 28, 1635 for importing 6 persons, including a man identified as Mill: Freeman. Could Mill possibly have been an abbreviation for miller...a trade that was followed by many Freeman's who were originally traced to this area of Virginia?

In another transaction in March 1636, John Place imported Richard Freeman. Mr. Place received lands in Elizabeth City County. Elizabeth City County is now merged with the city of Hampton. We also find the name of Henry Freeman introduced in York County in 1653 as overseer and witness to the will of Thomas Ray. In a will dated 22 November 1655 we find Robert Freeman - married to the Anne the daughter of Christopher Robin and mentioned in the will of John Robin, late of Gloucester County VA who had considerable holding in Elizabeth City County. The name of Robert Freeman appears again in the Quit Rent Rolls with 135 acres of land in Ware Parish, Gloucester County. Several unique naming patterns emerge from the Freeman families found in this area...especially with the names of Henry & Hamlin Stokes.

In our DNA project we currently have two family lines who claim descent from Lt. Col. Bridges Freeman. What we have been able to determine without a doubt is that these two lines are not related to each other. Based on current available information and documentary evidence of George & George Freeman, Jr. found in James City County in the 1700's I would offer an opinion of the likelihood that the three gentleman tying back through George Freeman have an edge on their claim of descent from Bridges Freeman. There is no doubt that the family who descended from the Elizabeth City/York/Sussex were in the proximate area during the same period of time...but with no hint of ties back to James City/Charles City Counties where the major holding for Bridges Freeman are found it would seem this evidence is not quite as compelling. Our goal is to find a Freeman male...perhaps in England who has documentary evidence that he is descended from Thomas and Frances Bennett Freeman of Bensington. What we know for sure is the several Virginia family lines in our project are not related.

Bridges Freeman, born abt. 1603, Wallingford, Oxfordshire, England, migrated with his family to the Virginia Colony, and was listed as a survivor of the 1623 massacre. Bridges eventually became a plantation owner and a Burgess for House of Burgesses.-- (American History. a representative in the popular branch of the colonial legislature of Virginia or Maryland.)

Col. Bridges Freeman was the son of Thomas Freeman, of Oxfordshire, and Frances Bennet-Freeman, who was the daughter of Ralph Bennet and his wife Frances. Col. Bridges was the grandson of John Freeman, born about 1553, and his wife Mae Thomas, born about 1538. Col. Bridges was the sibling of William (1st) 1605, who died in infancy, Henrie, 1606, Elizabeth (Pethouse or Pettus) 1608, William (2nd) 1609, Bennet, 1612, John, 1624, and possibly Robert and James.

Col. Bridges was the husband of Bridget Evelyn Fowler. Their children possibly included; Bridges Freeman Jr., Henry Freeman, James Freeman of New Kent. Bridges Jr., married Elizabeth, the daughter of Capt. James and Catherine Besouth.

Life Sketch

Bridges Freeman 01
Lt. Col. Bridges Freeman, whose biography already has been presented, was born in Oxfordshire, England in 1603. In all probability he was the oldest son of a family of good standing which had lost its money. The fact that at least two of the family are mentioned as merchants indicates that this was another example of country gentry, else they would not have borne arms, whom the times had forced into merchant class, not then so well looked upon as now. When seventeen or eighteen years of age, the family bade him Godspeed and sent him off to the New World to seek his fortune. He may have been brought over by Captain Martin of Martin's Brandon, for there he seems to have taken abode with another young man, James Sleight. His story, duly annotated has already been told. He married, ca. 1635, Bridget Fowler, daughter of Francis Fowler, prominent in early Virginia history. Fowler was evidently married before coming to America. In all probability he had left his family in England. It would be intensely interesting to know how these two came to be married. It is exceedingly doubtful if they had met prior to the day she disembarked, yet she may have been a boyhood sweetheart. Had they written? Did she come specifically to marry Freeman? Was it her father's accounts of the character of this youth that had attracted her? Here is fertile for some skilled writer to work out a great novel.

Biographical Sketch of Lt. Col. Bridges Freeman

One of the most typical of early Virginia's gentleman settlers was Lieutenant-Colonel Bridges Freeman. In a sense, he is a prototype of the great mass of early Virginians. He was prominent, yet not so well-known as to ever heretofore had the facts of his life collected together into a biographical sketch. He was rich, only after a long struggle up from poverty. He was influential, but not until the years had proven that he could master each task assigned him; each small task done well leading to some new and large public responsibility. His career was certainly not meteoric, but he was one of many like him who built solidly and firmly the foundations of American democracy. Born in England around 1603 he came to America as a lad in his later teens in 1622. He may have served an indenture period with Capt. Martin in Martin's Brandon. At any rate, he and James Sleight, evidently a youth of his own age, rented a cabin and parcel of land in 1627 at Martin's Brandon for which they were to pay a rental of two capons and two pullets. Their contract seems to have been supposed to run until the end of the year but the Court for James City County gave them permission to move "from Martin's Brandon unto some place or plantation where they may live more secured", May 21, 1627. At the General Court, January 22, 1628, Freeman was ordered to pay for curing the wounds of David Minton whom he had given a very sound thrashing. Minton sued for damages, but was given none because the Court held he had provoked the fight with "bad words". This was evidently not held against Freeman, for on March 7, 1628, he was named to his first public office, Commander of the Magazine. It is entirely probable that he had already had military experience against the Indians, and that this and subsequent military titles he was to hold, signified his position in the military establishment of early Virginia. No definite records are available to prove this, but his steady advance as noted by his titles indicates that he must have proven himself a skilled warrior. He was successively Commander of the Magazine, Adjutant, Captain and Lieutenant-Colonel. At the same time he was rising in military life, he was also rising in civil affairs. On March 4, 1629-30 he first took his seat as a Burgess, sitting as a representative of Pasbyhoy (also spelled Pasbeyhoigh). At this time he was about twenty-six years of age. In September, 1632, he was a member from Checohominey (Chickahominy) while John Corker was representing his erstwhile constituency at Pasbeyhoigh. The chief contributions of these sessions of the Assembly were associated with the religious development of the colony. Most of us today would disagree heartily with the statutes as written, but would agree that it was through the interest of men who could phrase such statutes that American democracy became so closely allied to religion. At the Assembly in 1630, among the laws passed was one which bade all ministers of the Colony to conform to the canons of the Church of England. In 1632, additional laws were passed which set up penalties for not attending church and for disparaging a minister. At that Assembly, it was also voted to allow ministers the following fees:

for marriages 2/0 for churchinge 1/0 for burryinge 1/0

Other significant actions of these Assemblies in which Freeman participated were the vote to establish a fort at Point Comfort and a vote to continue war on the Indians, "and that no peace be made with them". In 1632, monthly courts of justice were set up. In 1635, he arranged for the transportation of his wife-to-be, Bridget. From references made in Surry County records, it is evident that she was a daughter of Francis Fowler, Burgess in 1642, with whom Freeman was closely associated in business. Accompanying Bridget to the New World was Bridges' brother, Bennett. With his marriage, Freeman began to settle down to the accumulation of an estate. On December 1, 1635, he patented one hundred and fifty acres of land in James City County On August 11, 1637, he and Francis Fowler patented nine hundred acres, probably on the Chickahominy. On August 12, 1637, he patented one hundred acres on the east side of the Chicahominy. On August 5, 1640, an additional one hundred acres was patented, "lying in the woodyard, adjoining Southerly unto four hundred acres now in possession said Freeman." Later we find that eight hundred acres granted to both Freeman and Fowler is patented solely by Freeman. This land was originally allowed for transporting eighteen people to Virginia. "Captain" Freeman was a Burgess from James City County in 1647. In that same year he was named as Collector of Public Levies for Chickahominy and Sandy Poynte. "Adjutant" Freeman served on a Court held at Jamestown, November 6, 1651. Freeman was named to the Virginia Council of State, April 30, 1652. After this he is usually referred to as "Lieutenant-Colonel", or "Colonel", or "Councillor". He was re-elected in 1655. How long he served or when he died is not known. Undoubtedly much more could be uncovered about this early American if more intensive research were made. Even the small amount of data here presented shows him to have been a man of ambition and energy, endowed with a good business mind and one who inspired trust and confidence in his fellows. It was by Bridges Freeman and men like him that the American way of life was established.
