Notes
!Parentage-Marriage: MFIP William Brewster p.96. Says "probably married Mary Howland..." See wife's notes.
No marriage record has been found for Nathaniel Freeman. The given name of the mother of his children was Mary, as was the name of his wife of his old age, allowing for the possibility for her to be one and the same individual. [MD 8:91; NEHGR 20:61], [Barnstable Co. PR 8:91], [MFIP Wm Brewseter p.96]
He served Eastham as a Justice of the Peace in 1707, and town clerk and selectman.
He inherited all his father's land and housing marsh & meadow in the town of Eastham at a place called Menaskeakett, obtaining it in the estate settlement of 27 Jan 1720.
