  Noted events in her life were:

• Information. ³³⁴
Elizabeth Freeman was baptized in the parish of Billingshurst, co. Sussex, England 11 Apr 1624, the fourth of six children of Edmond and Bennet (Hodsoll) Freeman. She died, probably in Rochester after 24 Jun 1692, but long before 20 Apr 1714, when her son William Ellis recorded a numberof deed bearing various dates, which suggest the probability that they were recorded in connection with the settlement of his mother's estate. She evidently died intestate, having already distributed her property among her children.

She must have possed great strenth of character and as well as a good physical constitution. At the time of husband's death she was fifty-three years old. Her three daughters and probably the eldest son Mordecai were already married. The surviving unmarried sons ranged in age from 12 to 20.
