Re: Lighthouse location and/or employees list

I checked the excellent database compiled by Tom and Phyllis Tag on the lighthouse keepers of the Great Lakes, and I fear I was only able to find one keeper by the name of Freeman, and his first name was Samuel, and he resigned from service in 1849.
This does not mean that your ancestor was not a lighthouse keeper, just that his name did not appear in any of the service payroll records the Tags researched in the National Archives and other sources.
Sorry I wasn't able to help.
