(Ab.) HON. JOHN FREERE, ESQ,, OB. JAN., 1766, AET 60.
This distinguished family being well known to the public, a few remarks only are necessary.
There was a Baronetcy conferred, in 1620, on Edward Frere, of Water Eyton, Oxfordshire, but leaving no issue by his wife Mary, daughter of John Stafford, of Blatherwick, it became extinct on his death, in 1630.
The Freres of Barbados came originally from Suffolk. Mary, daughter of John Frere, who was Governor of Barbados in 1720, married Joseph Pilgrim, Chief judge of the Common Pleas, who died in 1734, left issue (the Rev.) John, of New Windsor, Berks, who married Keturah, daughter of the Hon. James Bruce.
Government House in Barbados, is called "Pilgrim," after the family of the same name; and, about the middle of last century, a branch of the Barbadian family of Archer settling in Jamaica, probably, so named one of their estates there, although there were also Pilgrims in the latter island.
