Biography
Dinah (Comsett) Freeman is a part of US Black heritage.
Birth year estimate calculated from marriage intent of 1771 minus 15 years.
Looks like she married first 3 Jan 1771 Issachar Cato "a free Negro" in Scituate.[1]
Wife of Asher Freeman, or they at least had many children together. An entry appears for them in the Negro Marriages index at the right time (January 25, 1777), but it is noted as "crossed out."[2]
