"O'Quinn to Freeman Per Virginia Poole
Born in 1856 as Robert D. O'Quinn to James and Mary Freeman O'Quinn. In about 1883 in Faulkner County, Arkansas, Robert O'Quinn killed a man. He hid out in an old unused barn. Robert's brothers brought food to him. After planning a getaway the brothers, brought Robert's young pregnant wife, his two young sons and a wagon to Robert. The then O'Quinn family fled in the wagon, crossing the Saline River in Arkansas on their way to Texas. Near Hope, Arkansas, Robert's third son, Arthur was born. When arriving in Texas the family settle in Hopkins County. Robert became Calvin and took his mother's maiden name, Freeman, as his own. Calvin and his wife Laura Annie never returned to Arkansas. In 1885 Floyd Edward Freeman, was the first of nine more children to be born in Texas. Calvin and Annie had a total of 13 children, 12 lived to adulthood."
Robert Duncan Freeman, alias Calvin Nathaniel Freeman, was still trying to hide from the law when he gave his and his parents' erroneous birth places as Missouri in 1900 and 1910. His mother, Mary Elizabeth Freeman was born Jan 1837 in Greene Co., AL to Edward Freeman and his first wife, whose name I don't know. His father, James Edward O'Quinn was born 1829 in Cumberland Co., NC. They married in 1853.
