|
| 
Description: Copy of the sketch showing division of the Reuben, Jr. and Daniel Freeman house in Pretty Marsh. In 1808, settlers Reuben and George Freeman together purchased 200 acres in Pretty Marsh for $145. When George died, the property became Reuben's. Reuben in turn left it to his two sons, Reuben, Jr. and Daniel. However, there were bad feelings between Reuben, Jr. and Daniel, and they "agreed to settle" the property, dividing everything -- the house, the barns, pasturage and farm implements -- into two parts. Each family lived in a half of the house, and the kitchen was shared between the two families. [show more] | |||
