Linda F. N. Arnold, of Menifee, CA, who has studied this family thoroughly,
believes that the John Freelove who married Sarah Fuller was an older
individual that the John Freelove who married Sarah Woods, and that Sarah
(Fuller) Freelove was still living when they moved to Winchester, New
Hampshire, in about 1790. The
John Freelove or Freelow who married Sarah Woods was aged 22 in 1777 and was
“of Freetown” in his Revolutionary War record, therefore born about 1754 or
1755.

white males over 16 and 1 free white female.

Linda R.F. Arnold lists only son Joseph Freelove, and notes that the John
Freelove living in Troy, PA, in the 1850 census is unidentified, but from the
connections to Vermont and Troy, PA, it appears that he may have been a son of
John and Rhoda (Cook) Freelove.
[236] Per research of Linda R.F. Arnold of Menifee, CA, but I have not located where this power of attorney was recorded.
