== Biography ==
There is some confusion of where he came from with the Americans claiming him as one of theirs and Ulster saying he is theirs.
According to the San Diego Reader,〔(San Diego Reader | 90 Years of Curl ) at www.sandiegoreader.com〕 Freeth was born in Oahu in 1883. His mother was part-Hawaiian. His father was Irish. While vacationing in Hawaii, Industrialist Henry Huntington, saw Freeth surfing and quickly brought him to Redondo Beach, California in 1907 as an attraction showing off "the man who walked on water". According to the 1910 Census, Freeth rented a room at 106 Pacific Avenue in Redondo Beach. Freeth died at the age of 35 as a result of the global flu pandemic in 1919 while living and working in San Diego. According to his draft registration card a year earlier, Freeth was living at 1940 Abbott Street in San Diego and working as a lifeguard for the City of San Diego.〔 Upon his death, he was buried in Oahu Cemetery in a grave with his sibling, A.R. Freeth.〔 Further information taken from various descendants,〔(http://www.maoliworld.org )〕 mentions that his mother was Elizabeth Kailikapuolono Green, daughter of William Lothian Green and Elizabeth "Lepeka" Kahalaunani, a pure Hawaiian woman. Lepeka also conceived three daughters with Archibald Cleghorn, a well-known businessman of Honolulu. Cleghorn later fathered the well-known Princess Kaiulani with Hawaiian royalty Miriam Likelike, a sister to King David Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani.
