By this second marriage Edmund had eleven children (born Eastham): Sarah (1685), Isaac (c1687 m. Bethiah Sturgess), Ebenezer (c1688 m. Abigail Young), Mary (1691), Mercy (1692), Hannah (1697), Experience (1697), Elizabeth (1701), Edmund (1702 m. Lois Paine & Sarah Sparrow), Thankful (1702) and Rachel (1704).
William Freeman was born Eastham about 1660 and died there in 1686. He married about 1684 Lydia Sparrow[3] and they had two children (born Eastham): Lydia (1685) and William (1686 m. Mercy Pepper).

Previous Y-DNA testing
The Freeman DNA Project lists eight individuals who have STR tested and match each other. One of these individuals has done 111 STR tested and also a SNP test and been found to be E-M81.[1] According to the NevGen Haplogroup Predictor, the 111 STR marker signature of the modal values of the descendants likely falls under E1b1b V257>M81>>PF2546>Z5009[2] (with a 95.1% probability)
E1b1b1b (E-M81, formerly E3b1b) is characteristic of the Berbers of North-West Africa. In some parts of Morocco E1b1b1b can peak at 80% of the population. This sub-hapolgroup is also found in Iberia, Italy and southern France, with the highest concentrations in southern Portugal (12%) and decreasing as we move north.[3] Given this distribution, it is interesting to note the surname of Freeman. It is remotely possible where a remote Y-DNA ancestor of the Freeman family may have been sold into slavery in England and when he (or a descendant) achieved his freedom, was given the surname of "Freeman".
Further needed testing
We need additional direct male-line descendants of Edmund Freeman to WGS/NGS test to both confirm the lineage as well as to refine the haplogroup further and delineate descendant clades.
- ↑ The other members of the project have been predicted to fall under E-M35, which is an ancestral clade to E-M81.
