Freeborn is a prefix closely associated with Freeborn John Lilburne (born c.1614 and died 1657) who linked by both ancestry and ideas to Thomas Jefferson. As a word it means to be born free, rather than to be born in slavery or bondage or vassalage. Freeborn rights are unalienable rights that every person is born with.
