Note: own as of 2016 after my own moderately extensive online search. Based on the lack of finding any John Freyman/Freemans born abt. 1799 in Pennsylvania on a nationwide search on the 1850/1860 census I believe he may have died young.
I searched the following documents:

The difficulty in finding him as an adult may indicate an early death (could the later son with the partial name John be so named because this child died?), or original will and deed documents may need to be searched in Lehigh County or elsewhere.
In 2016 Dick Musselman subsequently conducted a professional search for me on three of the Freyman brothers whose marital and death history is unknown with the following results:
"John, Jacob and Daniel Freyman/Freeman were the subjects of a follow-up search at the Lehigh County Historical Society and Lehigh County Courthouse in Allentown, PA. Since their baptism records were all found in the Jordan Reformed Church in South Whitehall Township, I returned to those records hoping to find later entries listing these three men. Unfortunately no Confirmation or Communion records were available for this congregation. Their names were not included on a list of marriages found in the church records; nor did they appear as Sponsors on any later baptism entries.
A similar search was conducted in the records of the sister congregation of the Jordan Lutheran Church in South Whitehall Township. Unfortunately this search found Freyman entries, but none helpful in our current research.
A review of the cemeteries associated with the Jordan churches found no entries related to these Freyman/Freeman families.
A search of the Historical Society’s index of Death and Marriage entries printed in Lehigh County area newspapers found no entries related to these men.
No Lehigh County tax assessment records are known to exist from 1814 through the mid 1840’s. The loss of these records eliminated the possibility of searching for these men once (if?) they attained the age of majority in South Whitehall Township.
The Lehigh County recorded Deed indexes and Estate file indexes contained no entries that matched the correct time frame for John, Jacob or Daniel Freyman/Freeman. During this search I also double checked on any Deed or Estate file entries, including Orphans Court entries for the parents, Michael and Maria Freeman/Freyman. None were found in Lehigh County."
Note: The post baptism as well as any marital history of John Freyman is unkn
