This means that one was in north Alabama, where he was in 1850 and another in South Alabama. I have not looked it up to see exactly where. I have wondered if he went to the South Alabama one first and that is where his first child was born and then came to the Randolph County one and stayed there.

Thank you for the land grant documents sent by e-mail and the death certificates that you mailed to me. I can locate the site of the one in north Alabama fairly accurately. It is about 4 miles directly west of Omaha. It is a different site than the land listed for Eli Freeman in the 1875 Tax sale listing. That on the grant is the Northwest quarter of the northeast quarter of Section 12 in Township 20 Range 12.
The tax sale listing is for two plots: The northeast quarter of the southeast and the southwest quarter of the northwest and the northwest quarter of the southwest quarter of section 6 of Township 20 Range 13. (He owed ninety cent in taxes).
Almost all of the land in the county was listed as to be sold for taxes in that 1875 listing.
If you do not know how to identify land from these descriptions I will try to explain it if you wish.

CECIL FREEMAN DIES
Just before 11 o'clock on Tuesday night of last week, Cecil Freeman peacefully
breathed his last at the home of his father, Mr. G.C. Freeman in this city.
The young man had been in delicate health for several years but his last
illness was of short duration. Cecil was a manly young fellow, about 15 years
of age and was well liked by young and old. He was in intelligent lad and
was conscious of his serious condition. He expressed himself as being not
afraid to die as he had tried to live right. While these facts afford comfort
to his loved ones they are nevertheless crushed by a weight of sorrow, for
they were devoted to Cecil. The remains were carried Wednesday afternoon to
Notasulga (Macon Co., AL) where they were interred by the side of the deceased's mother.

DEATH CAME TO MR. G. C. FREEMAN
Death came last Wednesday [31 Dec 1919] afternoon to relieve the sufferings
of Mr. Green C. FREEMAN, who had been ill nine days at his home in this
place [Roanoke]. The most devoted attention by physicians, nurse, family and
friends was of no avail to rescue him from the stroke of the fell destroyer.
Shortly after noon the following day simple services were held at the home
in memory of the deceased, conducted by Revs. C. OREAR and J. W. RUCKER. The
remains were then placed aboard the Central of Georgia train and taken to
Notasulga [Macon co., AL], the former home, where they were interred the
following day [2 Jan 1920] at 11 o�clock, after services conducted at the
Primitive Baptist church by Elder J. [John] T. SATTERWHITE [11 May 1856--15
Oct 1937], pastor of Mr. FREEMAN. Many old friends and neighbors gathered to
pay their respects and manifest their sympathy. The family was accompanied
on the trip to Notasulga by Messrs. J. [James] R. HOLLINGER [1863--1937], W.
F. [William Faulkner] USSERY [23 Dec 1851--19 Jan 1930] and B. C. JONES,
Sr. [11 Sep 1862--12 Jul 1923]
Mr. FREEMAN had been a citizen of Roanoke about twenty years. During this
time he had made many friends among our people. He was a member of the
Primitive Baptist church at Mt. Pisgah [near Stroud, Chambers co., AL]. He
served on the board of tax equalizers for Randolph county. Soon after coming
here he was married to Miss Hattie HIGGINS, who, with three children by Mr.
FREEMAN�s first wife, survive.
Mr. FREEMAN was nearly seventy years old (ca 1849), but carried his age remarkably
well until his health began to fail a few years ago. He was a patient
sufferer, and appreciated to the full measure of his warm heart the
ministrations of his family and friends.

Hi Valerie,
I am a GA Freeman researchers but I live in Northern Cal. At some point I would like to talk to you about your line. This is an insane
time for me my daughter is getting married in 2 weeks and my mother is moving into a group home on Sat. I am writing now because I want
to get in touch with you before all this comes down.
Here are my questions.
Do you how how the John Freeman is in the 1840 Heard Co GA census.
The guy and his wife are elderly.
Do you know who Richard Watts is?

Do you know where Eli was from in SC?
Have you done your Freeman DNA yet?
My GA Freeman line is not your line but I have a DNA match from SC that has similar names as your group.
Also I have a Keziah Freeman that married John Maddos and it is not the same one as yours. I may have some (rather disorganized infor)
on your Keziah. It took me 4 years to sort out the 2 families. I'm pretty sure your Keziah was around Walton Co Ga before going into
Randolph Co GA.
I ahso have Freemans in Japser Co.
IF you feel like calling.....my number is 530-753-0792,
in haste,
Laura
