-[https://sandwichhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Freeman.pdf Edmund Freeman (II)] (father of Edmund [III] and John) was the son of Edmund and Alice (Coles) Freeman of Pulborough, Sussex, England and was baptized 25 Jul 1596. He married first, 16 Jun 1617 to [[Hodsoll (mtDNA) |Bennett Hodsoll]] (she was buried at Pulborough on 12 Apr 1630). Freeman along with his second wife Elizabeth and his family set sail from Plymouth, England on 4 Jun 1635 aboard the <i>Abigail</i>. They arrived in Boston on 8 October 1635 and initially settled in Saugus (now Lynn).In 1637 Freeman was the first named of the "Ten men of Saugus" who were granted permission (by the Plymouth Colony government) to begin the first settlement on Cape Cod (they named the settlement Sandwich). The family continued to live in Sandwich until Edmund's death. The precise date of Edmund's death is not know, however his Will is dated 21 Jun 1682, and it was probated on 2 Nov 1682.
