Andrew Freeman or Freman was born about 1625, most likely in or near Shotley, Suffolk, England. He is connected as the son of Unknown Freeman, who was added to link Andrew with Samuel Freeman, his probable brother. Both men were cordwainers from Shotley, Suffolk, England. Samuel joined the Quaker church at Woodbridge (quite a distance from Shotley) in 1663. Shotley Parish Registers exist to 1611. then there is a gap in the records until 1644.[1] Andrew Freeman appears to have been born inside this gap.
