my branch of the Friend family stems from Tully J Friend and Clara.
My father was Kenneth Wade. He was taken by Tully at the age of 4 years old and brought to Oklahoma. He was raised under an alias of Krick, derived from changing his mothers maiden name of crick , to krick. any one who might be able to help us paste our heritage together will be very appreciated.

Krickett, do you have a time frame for Kenneth Wade? Someone else asked about Tully Friend (I am most sure it was on this message board) before but now I can't find the message. I am still looking for the previous post.

I know Kenneth Wade was born October 8th,1923 in either Wooster or Ashland. I remember my Grandfather Tully,he was a big part of my life until he found out Dad knew where Grandmother Clara and the siblings were, (this was found out after my father served in the army air corp.) he then left Oklahoma and returned to the Wooster area and died there, it is my understanding he was buried somewhere in Ashland I believe. I have pictures of him taken through the years both here in Oklahoma and in Ohio.I do have the childrens names and birth/death dates written by Clara's hand somewhere in my storage. I do know Tullys mothers maiden name was crick, or so we were told.so much was lies by my Grandfather that we are not sure what was true and what was not. Tully was one of the best carpenters in Oklahoma and worked for a casket company in Guthrie Oklahoma before being hired on at Tinker air base. He built the home I was raised in, and built several pieces of furniture that was breath taking.

Kricket, I can find Tully in two census records but you probably already have this information.
1910 Ohio Ashland Co., Clear Creek Twp
Tully Friend, 19, hired man, married 1 year, b. OH as were his parents.
Clara B., 19, servant, married 1 yr. b. OH as were her parents.
Living with (looks like) Shriver family.
1920 Ohio Wayne Co., Plain Twp.
Tully J. Friend, 29,
Clara B., wife, 28
Mildred P. daughter, 8
Ada M. daughter, 7
Frederick J., 4, son
Earl J., 2, (and some months that I can't read) son
?Lulili? F., 4 months (I can't make out the spelling of her name) daughter.
Clara's information; looks like the census taker first wrote that her father was born in Pennsylvania but the it is scribbled out and I can't read what was written. It said mother born "German".

she had told me that both her parents were born in Germany. I did find her line in Germany while i was there, but all my notes are buried in storage. she had also told me that grandfather's blood line was German. I was under the impression that clara was born in Germany also, and came to pennsylvania as a small child

There is a German line of Friends, starting with Philip born about 1718 (I think) and I think he was the first of the line to come to America.
Check the pages of posting here for information about Philip (there are several, not just the first page that comes up when you sign in.) I think I posted some information about Philips line but I know there wasn't enough to bring you from Philip to your grandmother.
