Judy,
I have a book about the McQuiston's and I do have a connection in it to the Freeds of Beaver County. I am always willing to help. Please contact me.
To answer your question James Ezra McQuiston's wife was 1st wife Anna Belle Kitchens, 2nd wife Rosina Perkins.
The place the Freeds come in is this:
James Ezra's father was Phillip McQuiston. Phillip's father was Mark McQuiston. Mark McQusiton had a brother named John McQuiston.
John McQuiston married Mary Freed. who was born Apr 3, 1826. They moved from North Sewickley Township, Beaver County to Illinois about 1860 and later to Valparaiso, Indiana where John died Mar 3, 1880. Mary died June 16,1901. I have the names of their children etc if you need it. The book also has info further back than Mark and John. Also Mary Freed's brother Samuel Freed married the sister of Mark and John McQuiston named Margaret McQuiston, born 1830
in Beaver Co., Pa. Margaret married second to Mr. Smart and died in Michigan. No record of children.
Two other mentions of Freed's are made in this book.
One is that Eliza McQuiston the sister of Mark, John and Margaret left her house to her niece Nancy Freed and that Nancy still lived in the house in 1925. I would check the 1920 Census for her.Apparently the house was in New Brighton, Pa. Eliza's married name was Griep.
The other Freed mentioned is Rena Freed (b. Feb. 4,1894 and died Nov 20, 1924)who married Sylvester Grant McQuiston. Sylvester McQuiston is the son of Flavius Josephus McQuiston. Flavis McQuiston is the son of Henry McQuiston. Henry is also a sibling of Mark, John, Margaret and Eliza McQuiston.
So I guess the question is if Margaret was the only female who married a Freed and had no children recorded then who was Nancy Freed. If she was a "niece" to Eliza McQuiston with a last name of Freed it must have been a child of Margaret's or else she just called her a niece but she was actually one of her sister's nieces. I might mention that there was another sibling of Mark, Eliza, John, Margaret and Henry named Nancy but she married a Deemer.
Hope this info helps.
