David Freeman

David Freeman is another of the tillers of the soil of Meriwether county, who 
by industry and uprightness have attained prosperity. He is a grandson of 
James and Rebecca (Rymes) Freeman, the former a native of Tennessee, but who 
passed the greater part of his life in the city of Rome, Ga. He was a soldier 
in the war of 1812. His son, J.C., was born in Clinton, Jones Co., Ga., in 
1819, and married Miss Amanda Neal, a daughter of James and Mary (Rucker) 
Neal, the former a native of Warren county, Ga., and a soldier of the 
revolution. Mr. Freeman moved to Meriwether county in 1848; he served during 
the late war in the state militia, and has represented his district, Griffin 
district, in congress. His son, David Freeman, was born in Zebulon, Pike Co., 
in 1847; he has passed not only his early years, but those of manhood also, on 
the farm in Meriwether county, still residing in the old homestead, and within 
sight of one of the first houses built in the county, which is a part of his 
property. The Flint river, on whose borders his plantation lies, is here 
somewhat shallow, which gives the place its name "Flat Shoals". In the old 
Flat Shoals college young Freeman obtained a part of his education, which he 
completed in Griffin. He has been more fortunate than many in the respect of 
excellent educational opportunities. As a farmer and a man of business he has 
been prospered and is well respected by all.
