He was the oldest child of Leonard Freeland and Maria Van Deusen who had married at the Dutch Reformed Church of Claverack, Columbia County, New York in 1806. His youngest sibling was Mary Mellen Freeland who married Peter Bogardus.
John married Eliza C. Bryan who was about sixteen years younger than himself in July of 1844 at St. Paul's Episcopal Chapel in Manhattan, New York. They had a daughter, Helena Willett Freeland who later married Charles Alger and a son John Augustus Freeland, Jr. who later married Helen (Ella) Harris.
John worked as a dry-goods merchant in Manhattan with his first cousin James Freeland, born in 1799, a son of Phineas Freeland and Anna Walker. (Leonard Freeland was the youngest brother of Phineas who was the first-born son of John Freeland and the widow Mrs. Mary Mellen Gibbs.)
In 1847 - 1848 John and his family lived at 51 Vestry Street in Lower Manhattan and John worked at 35 Nassau Street in Manhattan at the firm of FREELAND, STUART & COMPANY, a dry goods partnership. His first cousin James Freeland worked at 35 Nassau Street but had a house in Brooklyn Heights. John and his wife and children are in the U. S. Census of 1860 at Lower Manhattan and his wife's parents are also listed as living in the house at the time of the census. In 1853, John dissolved his part in the partnership and bought a 60 acre farm in Columbia County where he and his first cousin James Freeland had been born.
John died at his 60 acre gentleman's farm (known as Elmwood) at Greenport, Columbia County, New York in December of 1860. According to the cemetery records, he was buried at the Hudson City Cemetery in Hudson, New York probably in an area where his mother and father had previously been buried. The Freeland headstone shared by his widow who had remarried, his son, his daughter-in-law, and their five unmarried children may be in the same area as the graves of John and his parents.
