Note

Three of Freegift's sons served in the Militia during the Revolutionary war. At least one of those sons, Capt. Russell Cole died in 1813 and could have also been in the war of 1812. The other brother's of Russell that probably served if not died in the war were Parker (1780-1808) and Casey (1786-1813).
