Notes for JONATHAN FREEMAN:
All dates from Dedham, MA, Town Vital Records.

Freeman, Jonathan, of Dedham, freeman 1684, was a soldier in
Moseley's company for the Narraganst expedition December 1675, also
called the King Philip's War. Captain Moseley was described as " an
Old Cromwellian Privateer, at Jamaica, an excellent soldier."

In 1684 Jonathan was voted a "Freeman" in Dedham. Each person who
wished to be a member of a town with voting rights, had to apply to
the Town Leaders for approval, and the person had to agree to work
for the good of the Town and Church (which were one then), and
believe in the Puritan ideals and faith.

He was a soldier in King Philip's war in Woodcock's Garrison– on the road from Dedham to Rohoboth, September 3, 1675. He was of Captain Moseley's famous company of Rangers of Dedham October 9, 1675. His brother David, then of Dedja,. was also in this war and is on a payroll dated August 24, 1676, for one pound, three shillings, sixpence.

Jonathon married, at Rehoboth, Jul 1 1689, Mary Woodcock, daughter of John Woodcock, one of the interesting men of that section in the pioneer days. Mary died at Attleborough, March 4, 1762, aged one hundred years, making her birth year 1662. John Woodcock, of Wrentham and Rehoboth, was first as Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1638, where he was largely in trade. He is probably the same man who came from Weymouth, England, before March 20,1635, and who sold land with houses at Roxbury, one to Joseph Holmes, Jun 6, 1651, the other to John Gore, March 25, 1651. He removed to Dedham in 1642 and thence to Rehoboth before 1673, living much at Wrentham. In King Philip's war his house was the only one on the road from Dedham to Rehoboth and was well garrisoned and fortified. It was perhaps within the bounds of Attleborough, near the Wrentham line. Jonathan Freeman was one of this garrison and probably met his future wife when he was a soldier fighting Indians. Woodcock had two of his family slain April 26, 1676, and another son wounded by Indians. He was deputy to the general court in 1691. Besided Mary he had a daugter Sarah, who married Alexander Balcom, and a son John Jr., who became prominent citizen of Rehoboth and Attleborough, married, February 26, 1674, Sarah Smith; a son Nathaniel killed April 28, 1676.
