What it says

Freeman of Pulborough and Sandwich: the Pulborough baptisms of Edmund’s siblings, the 1633/4 Chancery depositions, Major John Freeman of Eastham. It favours a widow Perry as Edmund’s second wife (2:350n) but elsewhere has “Mary [called Freeman]” (2:691). It gives John Freeman’s baptism as 29 Jan 1605/6 or 1606/7, and Edmund Jr.’s death as 29 Mar 1673, which is Gov. Prence’s death date.

Also vol. 2 pp. 823-828, the Woodbury (John) family, read in the archive.org full text (research/ellingwood/Ellingwood_Woodbury_Rand.md): John Woodbury, “sent to England as an agent of the colonists … In this way he became the first envoy from this colony to the mother country”; the footnote tradition that at Endecott’s arrival “to save Endicott’s dignity and clothing, John Woodbury and another carried him to shore on their shoulders”; his Old Planter’s farm, which “up to 1878, and perhaps later, had no other title than the original grant”; his presence at every selectmen’s meeting “up to December 3, 1641”; and Peter Woodbury (1640-1704), deacon and deputy.
