Micajah Freeman (b.1779,d.Dec 11,1845) may have left daughters out of his will as only males are listed in the court records.Alfred Moreland is listed as an heir even though his wife, Mary B.,dau of the deceased,was still living.The other heirs listed in the Owen County IN Court records before 1850...Alfred H. Freeman,Asa B.Freeman,James H.Freeman,John Freeman,King Freeman,Micajah Freeman,Jr.,William Freeman and the widow,Martha Freeman,Micajah's second wife.The writings of William Raper Brown warns that there were two Micajah Freemans in the same general area of Indiana.The old naming system leads to many errors and much confusion as there will be duplicate names of children born on close dates in closely related families.Enter"William Raper Brown" for a look at a very interesting letter.
