Ann Freeman (née Mason; 24 June 1797 – 7 March 1826) was a British Bible Christian preacher.
Her parents, William and Grace Mason, were farmers and she was one of thirteen children brought up in Devon where she was apprenticed to be a dressmaker.
[3] The Bible Christians were gaining more members and after Mary and Ann returned the numbers soon included their mother and five more of her children.
They became part of this break away sect,[2] sometimes called Bryanites, that was led by Cornishman William O'Bryan who had left the Methodist church in 1815.
Ann was confident and argued theological points with her movement's founder William O'Bryan when she met him[1] at the group's first conference at Launceston in Cornwall, on 17 August 1819.
