I AM TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A FAMILY TREE
MY MAIDEN NAME IS DONNA FREE

I live in Calhoun Co., FL and have just started on my family tree. I do not have much but you are welcome to it if it applies. The ancestors I am aware of are : W. Y. Free (married Louisa Free) and Elam Chapman Free (married Annie Smith, Annie Lee Callaway, and Lillie Harrell). My grandfather is Leonard Lawrence Free. If you are related, please advise.

How does Armstrong tie in? I am researching Armstrongs in Liberty Co. around 1866.

My great grandmother's sister was Annie Smith who married Elam Chapman Free. Does anyone know when she died and is Annie the mother of Leonard and Arthur Free. Thank you in advance for any help.

I do not know about Leonard, but according to the census records, he was married to a Lily, unknown? 1930 census FL Calhoun Chason Dist 6 page 2 of 5. I am researching this line for a friend.

Based on the research I have done and interviews with family members Leonard and Arthur are the sons of Annie Smith and Elam Free. Who are Annie's parents. I am not a direct family member but some of the Frees tie into my family in several places. The story I heard about Annie's death is that when the boys were young she became ill and went to stay with her parents in Bonifay? and later died. This was told to me by Leonards's son-in-law.

The Lillie Elam Free married was Lillie Sewell. Her first husband was a Mark M Harrell but her maiden name was Sewell. She was the daughter of John Bryant Sewell and Sarah Elizabeth "E.T." McClellan

The Lillie was Lillie Sewell who was first marred to Mark Harrell. She was not the mother of Leonard and Arthur. Her and Elam did however have five children between 1931 amd 1939.
