Hi Dave,
I have a Freeman family line in my ancestry, so I'm very interested in exploring the information you supplied to see if there's a connection.
I found a record for "Lonie Jefferson Freeman" in the Swain Co., NC Index to Delayed Birth Certificates [Ancestry.com database]. The index entry included the following information:
Name: Lonie Jefferson Freeman
DOB: 29 Aug 1899
Place of Birth: Almond, Swain Co., NC
Parent 1: Harvey J. Freeman
Parent 2: Catherine Morgan
Record Location: Vol. 5, Page 264
On the same index page are entries for the following additional individuals with Freeman surname:
Delma Freeman
James Leonard Freeman
C. Lambert Freeman
Lillie Modina Freeman [SISTER OF LONI JEFFERSON FREEMAN, AS SAME PARENTS WERE LISTED FOR HER]
Roy James Henderson Freeman
Callie Modena Freeman
Sarah Ann Lucinda Freeman
Etta Freeman [SISTER OF LONI JEFFERSON FREEMAN - SAME PARENTS LISTED FOR HER]
Eastman W. Freeman
Weaver Pinkney Freeman
Pearl Christine Freeman
Are any of those connected to your family?
I have the Cherokee Co. Heritage books and will look for your Freeman family members - will need a little time to do this, then I'll get back with you.
Best regards,
Jean
