Freeman (Farmer and Stock-raiser, Post-office, Shelbyville). Among the substantial farmers and self-made, energetic men of Black Creek township, the subject of the present sketch must be given a worthy place in the present volume. He is one of those sterling, resolute men who would succeed almost anywhere, but who, in a country favored like Shelby County, with rich soil, favorable seasons and good markets, never fail to achieve to abundant success. Mr. Freeman started out for himself at farm labor, at the rate of $12.00 per month. From this, what would not be considered a hopeless beginning, he has steadily accumulated and prospered until he now has a fine farm of 700 acres, most of which is substantially improved, one of the choice farms of the township. Mr. Freeman was born in Mercer County, Ky., in 1825, and was a son of Bayless and Mary Freeman. They came to Missouri in 1839 and settled in Marion county, where the father improved a farm, and died eight years afterward. The mother died in 1853. James M., the eldest in a family of seven children, was reared in Marion County, and in 1850 went to California, crossing the plains, but returned three years afterwards by way of Panama and New Orleans. He then resumed farming in Marion County, to which he had been brought up, and in 1855 was married to Miss Nannie Blackford, a daughter of Harden Blackford, of Shelby County, and who settled in this county from Kentucky, in 1839. Subsequently Mr. Freeman removed to Shelby County, in 1855, where he has since resided. He is looked upon as one of the worthy farmers and respected citizens of this township. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman have had ten children, but six of whom are living, namely: John W., Katie, James, Frank, Thomas and Cora.
