Does anyone know of Nathaniel/Nathan Friend, born about 1835 in Virginia. Nathaniel was married to a Christina (last name possibly Shahan) and they resided in the Rowlesburg area in 1870.
Known children are: Louisa C., Mary M., John W., and Claretta.
Roy Lockhart added the following information:
I copied the inscriptions in the Shahan Cemetery on Goff Hill between
Marquess and Sinclair, Preston Co on Jun 2, 1984 which includes:
Nathaniel

1834-1911
Christena
His Wife
1839-1933

"F" deaths, page28, line 2
Name Friend, Nathaniel

Date of Birth ----
Marital Status Married
Age 76-6-13

There doesn't seem to be a death certificate for Christena on the WV
Archives website but she was the daughter of George & Catharine (Rosier) Shahan.
An Early History of The Shahan Family 1678-1920 by Elizabeth Shahan, 1993,
page G-39 lists the children of Nathaniel & Christena as: Louisa C, Mary M,
John W, Clara Ettie, Lavina Jane, Amanda A & William Nicholas.
Can anyone tell us the parents of Nathaniel Friend?
