This weeks prompt in the 52 Ancestors in 52 Week challenge is ‘Where There’s A Will’

Robert Daniel Freeland was my 3^rd great grandfather. He was born on April 6, 1798 in Hillsboro, Orange County, North Carolina and died on July 24, 1878 in Henry County, Tennessee. He had been married 3 times and I descend from his 2^nd wife.

A cousin of mine had written in her family history book that when Freeland was on his death bed, his 3^rd wife convinced him to sign over his entire estate to her and leave everyone else out of his will. I was rather pleased when I found that this was not true.
