"Freeman" has a dozen kids with a man and the tree owner doesn't know whether this is a man or a woman? Freeman was also married to, or was involved with, a woman? I would love to see the 18th century documentation on that but of course there is no documentation, just copied trees.
The dates on the mother, Betty Adcox, are not a typo on my part or theirs. Her parents were born in 1906 and 1908 so it's understandable that Betty's husband and children are marked as private. They are probably living. So why would the tree owner plop this Freeman person into that family when he/she was born almost 200 years before the supposed parents?
After clicking on all the children only one line continues on, daughter Elizabeth's. For some reason Elizabeth's profile shows her parents as Thomas Ford and Allen (sex unknown), both of which have different profiles than the Thomas Ford and Allen (sex unknown) linked to Freeman. And it gets worse. Here's Elizabeth's other mother:

The siblings with no first names or known sex do have full birth and death information, male spouses, children, and a female spouse with only a surname. Amazing how much "Allen" and "Freeman" have in common. They have the exact same vital statistics, married the same man, are about 150 years older than their parents, and neither of them have a first name. Allen's mother deserves some sort of prize though. Freeman may have given birth a couple times after she died but Allen's mother gave birth in three separate centuries. Assuming her birth year is close to her husband's, three of those births happened before she was even born. That's impressive.
