I'm looking for any info on; Nathaniel R Freeman(1775-1831) "a well known gunsmith in the area" around Hickory Nutt Gap, Buncombe Co. NC (now Henderson Co, NC)in the years 1780-1830. Could some wise ol owls point me in a direction, please. | ||

Lil' Bill, Here's what I got out of LONGRIFLES OF NORTH CAROLINA by John Bivins, JR. Freeman, Robertson "Rutherford County. A notation in the NORTH CAROLINA SPECTATOR AND WESTERN AVERTISER of February 5,1831 reads: Died in this county on Hickorynut Creek on the 23rd ult. Mr.Robertson Freeman, aged 55...Mr F. was a well known gunsmith." Sorry not much if anything new out of this book. Good luck, Andy Follow me I am the Infantry | |||

Whiskers book on N Carolina gun builders may have something. I do not recall the name but he covers many builders in all his books, I no longer have the book but others may be able to check it for you. | |||

Whisker's book has only the above info. The new Carolina book does not mention him at all. Dave D. | |||
