Rebecca Prence DID marry Edmund Freeman III, and I am the descendant of them. As an African American, it’s always fun to learn more about who colonized your Native American ancestors.

John Nelson Margeson 1842-1915 had 13 children. my great great grandfather John Nelson Margeson Jr. 1889-1953 had 11 children. One of which was my grandmother Alice. Alice had a sister Pearl Ruth who married a New York cab driver Hugo Skeats and lived somewhere in the city near my grandmother Alice. William margeson who called her Aunt Ruth. When Hugo died Aunt Ruth moved from NY to live with William Margeson
