The American Genealogist (40:238-239, 1964) makes a compelling argument that the William Freathy's wife is NOT Elizabeth Barker, because the William Freethy found in the marriage records of Plymouth, England (13 Jan 1639, William ffreathie and Elizabeth Barker), who then has a son Ric. ffreathie baptised 28 July 1641, cannot at the same time be living in New England, working as an apprentice to Mr. Winter, and later found in the court records being sued in New Hampshire in 1641. Robert Charles Anderson's Great Migration Begins (Vol II C-F, p. 583-587, see discussion of this issue on p. 587) agrees with this assessment, and notes Elizabeth's maiden name remains unknown. [edit] PropertyThe transfers of property by William and Elizabeth Freathy provide insight into their children. In 1671, they deed land to daughter "Joane Holms, the wife of Thomas Holms" [York Deeds 3:81]. In 1681, William and Elizabeth deed land in York to son John, and in 1683, to "my two sons Samuell Freathy & John Freathy."S1 References
