• Notes

  Edward C. Free was the husband of Annie K. (Bean) Free. Married in Allentown, PA Edward and Annie K. Free had one son, Edgar and three daughters, Lillian, Pearl and Junie. Edward and his wife lived in Reading, Berks County, PA. Sometime in the late 1890's Edward abandoned his family, leaving Annie with her 4 children. The family story had been that he had met another woman and move to New England. In 2017 Edward's GGGreat Grandson found that Edward did indeed move to New Haven and married a woman named Marie with whom he fathered a daughter named Esther V. who was born in 1898. Records indicate that Edward and Marie were "married" in 1896. It is quite possible that this marriage was not legal as no divorce papers or records have been found for Edward and Annie. If anyone has any other information regarding Edward, Maria or Esther, please contact the creator of this memorial. Edward's Parents seem to have been Edward C. Free, Sr. and Louise Free. born in Philadelphia according to census records.
