    The Freames came to Philadelphia with John Penn in September, 1734, and appear to have lived here for some years. Thomas Freame’s name appears in the list of the captains of the seven companies raised in Pennsylvania in 1740 to take part in the expedition under Wentworth and Vernon, which made the futile attack on Cartagena, in Spanish South America, in March, 1741. A daughter of the Freames, Philadelphia Hannah, was born in Philadelphia in 1740, and married, May 8, 1770 (being his second wife), Thomas Dawson, an Irish gentleman, who in 1770 was made Baron Dartrey, and in 1785 Viscount Cremorne, both in the Irish peerage, the latter honor being “of Castle Dawson, County Monaghan, Ireland.” He died 1813, and the viscounty expired with him, as he left no descendants.
