Stephen was a shoemaker and lived on Mulberry St. in Newark. His first wife Lydia Freeman (maiden name MacCarter) died from consumption. He later married a second time and after he died this 2nd wife petitioned the govt. so that she could continue to receive veteran benefits. I have these records.
His children with Lydia were: my relative Charles Anson Freeman, Theodore, Sedie, and Edwin. Sedie raised my grandmother.
Stephen was 5 foot 10 inches tall, light complexion, blue eyes and light hair (discharge papers).
Stephen served with Company F, 13th NJ Volunteer Infantry, which was organized in Newark. The Regiment was fully organized, equipped and officered by the 25th day of August, 1862, at which time it was mustered into service at Camp Frelinghuysen, Newark. It left the State August 31, 1862, en route for Washington, D. C., where it arrived September 2, and at once went into camp near Fort Richardson, on Arlington Heights, Va. Here it was assigned to the Third Brigade, First Division, Twelfth Corps, Army of the Potomac, and immediately moved forward with the army.
Stephen Freeman was wounded at Antietam and discharged shortly afterwards from a hospital in York, PA. He died in Newark, NJ, in May 1891.
