"Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. 38," Leslie Stephen (1900), p. 108 states John m. (1) Ada, daughter of "Robert, or Payn, Tiptoft", and provide details of his life and military service.
In 2012 http://www.celtic-casimir.com offers: John was "son and heir, a minor at his father's death. His marriage was granted at once to Robert Tibetot, and the custody of his lands to various people, while he himself remained a ward to the King under the tutorship of John Launceleve. He came of age before 18 May 1290, when he had livery of his lands. He received his earliest summons for military service (in Wales) when only 13, and was constantly engaged throughout a long life in campaigns in Gascony, Flanders, Wales and Scotland. He was summoned to Parliament from 6 February 1299 to 23 October 1330, by writs directed Jobanni de Mohun, whereby he is held to have become LORD MOHUN. He was present at the siege of Carlaverock in 1300, and in February 1300, as Dominus de Dunsterre, he took part in the Barons' letter to the Pope. In December 1307 he was appointed joint Keeper of the Peace in Somerset; and in February 1307/8 was summoned to the Coronation of Edward II. In Oct. 1313, as an adherent of Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, he received a pardon for participation in the death of Gavaston and the disturbances consequent thereon. In 1321 he was among those forbidden (in January) to attend any illegal or treasonable assemblies, and (in November) the meeting of "Good Peers" summoned at Doncaster by Thomas, Earl of Lancaster; but he was summoned to the muster at Coventry of the forces marching against the Earl. In January 1325/6 he was appointed one of the chief supervisors of array in Somerset and Dorset, but superseded in April, perhaps on account of his infirmities. He married 1stly, in or before 1299, Ada, probably daughter of Robert TIBETOT. She died in or before 1324 (k). He married, 2ndly, early in 1325 or previously, Sibyl, widow of Henry DE LORTY, 1st Lord Orty (died 1321). He died 25 August 1330, and was buried in the church of Dunster Priory, probably on the north side of the chancel. His widow, though reported dead in 1335, was living September 1337, and appears to have been buried 13 November 1337, at Curry Rivel.

Edmund and Bennet also had Alice (1618), Bennet (by 1622), and Nathaniel (1629). Edmund m. (2) 10 Aug 1632 in Shipley, Sussex, England Elizabeth (Raymer). Jean Mayo-Lakatos (jmayolak@tampabay.rr.com) shared in 2003: Edmund Freeman was born ca. 1590 in Devonshire or Oxford, England. He arrived in Saugus, Lynn, MA on the 'Abigail' with his wife and children in 1635. He established the first English town on Cape Cod on Apr. 3, 1637 along with 9 other men. It was legally incorporated as what is now known as Sandwich in 1639. He was buried on his land in 1682, over looking Cape Cod Bay, and it has become the oldest burying place in Sandwich, MA. When he came to America, he came with his wife, Elizabeth, and his children: Elizabeth(12), Alice(17), Edmund(15), and John(8). He was at Saugus(alias Lynn), in MA in 1635. He was admitted freeman at Plymouth Jan. 2, 1637 and resided a short time in Duxbury, MA. His wife died a few years before him. She died Feb. 14, 1675/6. 2 huge stones mark their burial sites.He was buried on his own land on the hill in the rear of his dwelling. The site, though not greatly elevated, presents an extended view both of the surrounding landscape and bay in Sandwich, MA. Inscriptions have been put on those stones in recent years. They read:
a. 'Elizabeth, wife of Edmond Freeman, born in England in 1600, and died in Sandwich 1675/6.'
b. 'Edmond Freeman, born in England 1590, and died in Sandwich in 1682....A Founder of the town of Sandwich in 1637 and Assistant to Governor Bradford 1640-1647.'
c. These stones are in the woods near the junction of Sandwich Road and Route 6.His wife was said to have been Elizabeth Bennett. Their children were:
Alice: b.England 1618.
Edmond: bapt. England Nov.26,1620.
Bennet: " " Jan.20,1621.
Elizabeth: " " Apr.11, 1624.
John: " " Jan.28, 1626/7.
Nathaniel: " " Sept.2, 1629.
Mary.
Cycellia: b.1631.
John Freeman above, died in Eastham Oct.28,1719. He married in Eastham on Feb.14,1649/50 Mercy Prence, daughter of Governor Thomas Prence and Patience Brewster, daughter of William Brewster. Mercy was born ca.1631 and died in Eastham on Sept.28, 1711. Major John Freeman was one of the early settlers of Eastham and he also fought in the King Philip's War. Edmund and John Freeman were the earliest settlers in Sandwich before John moved on to Eastham. I have another version of the origins of Edmund Freeman, immigrant ancestor. I have that he was born in Pulborough, Essex, England ca. 1594 and died ca. 1686 in Sandwich, MA. He married Elizabeth Gravely on Oct.13,1617 in Herts, England, and this was probably his 2nd marriage. Elizabeth died in Sandwich, MA on Feb.14, 1676. He was Deputy for Plymouth Colony in 1641; Assistant to Governor Prence 1640-1646; a member of the Council of War in 1642; and later served as a judge. His father was also named Edmund Freeman and he was buried on June 6, 1623 in Pulborough, Essex, England. His will was proved on June 8, 1623. He was married to Alice Coles, a sister of George Coles, of Amberly, Essex, England.

[46088] "Biographical review : containing life sketches of leading citizens of Somerset, Piscataquis, Hancock, Washington, and Aroostook counties, Maine (1898)", pp. 201-202: "Captain George Wescott, a retired ship-master of Castine, Han cock County, was born upon his present farm, August 27, 1830, son of Captain Joseph and Sarah (Dyer) Wescott: This farm was originally cleared from the wilder-ness by William Wescott, the great-grandfather of Captain Wescott. William, a native of York, Me., came here as a pioneer, and bought a tract of two hundred and fifty acres when settlers were few and game abundant, while the only means of transportation was by water, and a tribe of Indians inhabited the neighborhood. Upon a site about ten rods distant from Bagaduce Point he built a dwelling that was his home for the rest of his life. He married Elizabeth Perkins, a daughter of a neighboring settler. Joseph Wescott, son of William and a na-tive of Castine, for some years followed the sea in the foreign trade: and he served in the War of 181 2 as Captain of a company. Having inherited the homestead, he built the present spacious residence, which is one of the best in town. He died in 1831, and was buried in the old family cemetery upon the farm. His wife was before marriage Lucy Stover, of Penobscot. Captain Joseph Wescott, the father, was born and reared at the homestead. Like most of the young men of his day, he took naturally to seafaring. In clue time he became a master mariner, and was engaged in the foreign trade for some years. After abandoning the sea he settled at the homestead, and built another house on the premises, which he occupied for the rest of his life. He lived to be eighty-three years old. He served as a Selectman for many years, and was one of the first abolitionists in Castine. Sarah, his wife, became the mother of eight children, five of whom are living, namely: George, the subject of this sketch; Mary W., who is now Mrs. Brooks; Clara Emerson; Frances Dyer; and Martha W. Wescott. George Wescott was educated in the common and high schools of Castine. Having begun to follow the sea at an early age, he worked his way aft to the quarterdeck, and subsequently commanded vessels engaged in the East India trade until his retirement in 1870. He served in the Civil War for one year as First Sergeant of Company I, Twenty-eighth Regiment, Maine Volunteers, with which he participated in the sieges of Port Hudson, Donaldsonville, and other engagements. Since he succeeded to the home farm, which contains one hundred and five acres, he has conducted it energetically. Recently he made some improvements in the old residence built by his grandfather. By his marriage with Mary Avery, Captain Wescott became the father of four children George F., Elisha D., Mary J., and Paul W. George F., who resides in Buffalo, N.Y., married Mary F. Bent, and has three children - Otis B., Mary E., and Marion. Elisha D., now residing in Portland, Me., married Josephine Crawford, and has one daughter, Ruth A. Paul W., also a resident of Port-land, married Annie C. Pennell, and has one son, Allen Wescott. Captain Wescott has served acceptably as a Selectman and a mem-ber of the School Board. Politically, he is a Republican, and his first Presidential vote was cast for J. C. Fremont in 1856. He is a comrade and Past Commander of Charles L. Stevens Post, No. 76, G. A. R."
