Is daughter Penelope Fincannon (Freeman) Mary Freeman (Bryan) or Priscilla Freeman (Hunt) 's?
DOB on the FAG note says 1788 which is just a year after Micajah Freeman, Sr and before the marriage of William and Mary in 1782 if these are correct

Report
Both Penelope and Micajah were Pricillas children. They sued Mary for their part of the inheritance after William passed away. Mary tried to leave the whole estate to her children. For a while the descendants of Mary’s children who were active in genealogy did not recognize me cajah and Penelope as Williams's children. Then the records of the lawsuit were found and proved that they were William’s children from a previous marriage.
There's a problem of too many Williams. Never too many profiles; usually not enough and they all get mismerged but I am seeing DAR
