Wife of Douglas Duggar Freeman
married September 18, 1789
Rutherford Co., NC"My 4th greatfather and 4th greatmother, Dugger and Sarah [Sallie] Prince Freeman, are buried in the old Duggar Freeman Family Cemetery located on a section of his original land. The Cemetery is now in a cow pasture on Paul Mayse's place on Freeman Road (SR 1559) on the right side about eight tenths of a mile from where it intersects Whiteside Road (SR 1538). The cemetery is located almost directly across the road from the old William Alonzo Wilson home place in the Wilson Church (School) section. There were apparently several graves in the burial ground but most are unmarked. The three dates of greatest interest are marked on a single stone, a single obelisk with inscriptions on three sides. Apparently this stone was erected at the time of Edward Freeman's death and many years after that of his parents deaths. The monument has the following inscriptions: (1) Duggar Freeman 1756 - 1831), (2) Sarah wife of D. Freeman (1757 - 1842 ) and Edward Freeman (1802 - 1883). It is known that at least some of these dates are in error and it is believed they were probably best guesses of some family member at the death of Edward. I believe the more correct dates should be: Duggar b. c1765 - d. 1824; Sarah b. c1770 - d. 1843; and Edward b. 1802 - d. 1883."

Dugger and Sarah Prince Freeman were the parents of my 3rd great grandmother Lucinda [Lucy] Freeman b. 24 April 1792 and d. 4 Sept. 1872, who married 20 Feb. 1813, Ephraim Hart b. 11 July 1787 and d. 17 July 1853.

The above narritave was the description of the cemetery I wrote many years ago after visiting the cemetery with Paul Mayse and my mother Monteen Hanvey Hart. However, I heard from a recent visitor to the area that the cemetery has completely desappeared. I hope this is not the case, but could be possible, as the cemetery was in an open pasture with cattle free to move over the cemetery.
