Originally settled by American Loyalists after the American Revolution in 1792. In time, a number of non-Loyalist Americans settled into the Roxham and Hemmingford area, in search for better land. Apple growing became one of the main crops in the area, which continues up until today. Our line by Charles Madison Freeman was a non-Loyalist in seach for a better living conditions, nearby his father's land just 2 miles away, across the American/Canadian border. Charles Madison and Elizabeth Freeman: Charles Madison Freeman was born about 1815 in Mooers, Clinton County, New York, U.S.A.. On the 1850 census for Hemmingford, Huntingdon County, Quebec, Charles was listed of Irish origins (sic.), living on lot #1, Con. #1, living in a 1 story log cabin on 1 acre of land. The family were E. Anglican. During the 1830's, Hemmingford area Anglicans were given services by Rev. William Dawes, a travelling minister, who conducted services in homes of the settlers. This minister's records are at the Archives in Montreal, Quebec. Sometime between 1857 and 1861, Charles and his family left the Anglican church and joined the Wesley Methodist Church of Hemmingford. This church was built in 1834 on the site of the present day St. Andrew United Church, of Hemmingford. Methodism was a faith of converstion and perhaps this applies to Charles and his family. During the period of 1834 to 1871 Charles Freeman's occupation was listed on the baptisms of his children as a farmer. On the 1851, 1861, 1871 census, he was listed as a labourer.
