John Freeman

John and Rebecca Susan Read Freeman

The caption identified “John and Rebecca Susan Read Freeman.” Beneath image spaces, it supplied the location caption “Freeman Family Cemetery, Fariston, Laurel County, Kentucky.” It also used the short description “Revolutionary War Soldier, Pioneer, Tavern–Inn Owner.” The two names appeared above the cemetery location and the three-role description.

Those lines form the complete biographical text accompanying the title. No narrative biography, dates, parents, children, military unit, land description, or source citation appears with them, so the labels should not be connected to additional events or people without further evidence.

Caption details

A separate gallery caption named John William and Adelia Alderson Freeman and identified John William as a son of George Washington and Martha Parker Freeman. Because the sparse John Freeman page does not establish that those names refer to the same John, the two records remain separate and do not merge the identities.

Reading a brief record carefully

Related cemetery and family subjects included G. W. Freeman, Lincks Cemetery, and Levi Jackson. These individual cemetery and family subjects often relied mainly on photographs.

The caption’s combination of two names, a cemetery place, and three historical roles offers useful leads, but each lead still requires a source beyond this brief record. Keeping those elements separate avoids turning a label into an unsupported chronology.

Taken together, the caption, place name, and descriptive labels form a research lead rather than a complete life story. Related material appears on Laurel County Photos and Cemeteries.
