Freelove was the daughter of Levi Wooley and his wife, whose name is currently not known. She had three known brothers, Thomas, Levi and Herbert. Freelove married Joseph Polhemus in 1802, probably in New Jersey. Her children were Nathaniel, Elizabeth "Betsy," Julian Sarah, Levi Wooley, Deborah, Rachel, John and Joseph J.
According to "History and Genealogy - Polhemus - 1284 - 1954," page 11, Rachel died after an angry rooster flew into her face and raked her temple. Freelove is buried with her husband Joseph in the Silverton cemetery. The stone is very worn, and can only be read from a particular angle, in just the right lighting conditions. The cousins who walked the cemetery almost missed finding it. Maybe Freelove wanted to be found.
