I have to advise you from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, W. 2606, it appears that JACOB FREESE (pensioned as FREEZE), while a resident of Epping, Rockingham County, New Hampshire, enlisted in May, 1778, as private in Captain Marshall's Company, Colonel Marshall's Massachusetts Regiment, and was discharged March 15, 1779.

He married April 26, 1797, Sarah or Sally Edgerley.  She was allowed pension on her application executed December 11, 1848, at which time she was a resident of Epping, New Hampshire, aged seventy-five years.
In 1848 Dudley Freese of Epping, New Hampshire, born October 1, 1899, [date is wrong; based on earlier document date should be 1799] stated that he was the second child of said Jacob and Sarah Freese.
