Research Notes
A. I have linked the Find a Grave site here [3]. Please notice that the children up until Freedom have records with a birth mother named Dorothy. Freedom was born in 1777 [3].
B. (Original Note - records have been found since this was written) Following Freedom is a gap of 9 years. Ruth Williams is probably the birth mother of the children born in 1786 and after [3]. I did not see a death record for Dorothy or a marriage record for Ruth.
