John Freeman

Quiet hillside cemetery with weathered markers among mature trees

John and Rebecca Susan Read Freeman

The page 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.

Limits of the record

The page paired its short text with several image spaces. The landscape shown here is a generic hillside cemetery and does not depict the Freeman Family Cemetery or portray John or Rebecca Freeman.

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

The page appeared in the late site’s cemetery navigation beside pages for G. W. Freeman, Lincks Cemetery, and Levi Jackson. That placement shows that the site used individual pages for cemetery and family subjects, even when a page 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.
