He lived considerably past ninety years,and was buried in 1763 in the Presbyterian churchyard at Wood-bridge, where his tombstone stands amidst the graves of severalgenerations of his TOMBSTONES OF JUDGE HENRY FREEMAN and HIS WIFE, ELIZABETH BONUE Presbyterian Churchyard, Wookbridge, New Jersev The inscription on this tombstone of Henry Freeman theImmigrant, stating that he died October 10, 1763. in the 94thyear of his age, does not agree with the statement in DanielFreemans Genealogy that he was born August 7, 1672.
