In his will proved in 1734, Cope Freeman left an estate called Mountain River to his son Guy Freeman. Cope Freeman had other property in St John, so it is possible that the estate he left was this one. However, Mountain River shown as in St Catherine owned by Grace Harrison Ayscough appears to be the same estate as that later owned in St John by her husband David Robert Michel.
