Cornelius Ward Friend (Neal), father of Wm. H. H. Friend b. 1840 was Evelyn Guard Olsen's (author of "Indian Blood") great grandfather. It is just my opinion but this should give credence to Evelyn's writing of Cornelius' family. Like I said MOHO.

Pat, Two questions on your post.

1. Are you saying William had an illegitimate child by Sarah?

William Henry Harrison (Squire) Friend, b: 1840, d: 1919.

m.(2) Missouri Phillipi.

--------------
2. And are you saying William had two sons, with the same name, living at the same time, at the same place?

Glen,
From my file notes: I have that the mother of Wm. H. H. (Harry) Friend, b. 1860 was Sarah Kelly and that she and Wm. H. H. b. 1840, never married.

I never checked further for information on Sarah but today in the 1860 MD census, Selbysport, I did find Sarah Kelly, 21, (1839) b. MD. Sarah was not married at this time.

That is not proof that the "story" is true, it only shows there was a Sarah Kelley living in the area and she would be about the right age to be Wm. H. H.'s (Harry) mother. The right Sarah; the wrong Sarah, I don't know, I am only saying I found her. I will leave this up to the descendants of Harry to explain. It is not my direct line and not my story.

I also found in the June 9, 1880, Dist. 2 Garrett Co. MD census
Friend, Wm. H. H. (Squire), 40, OH MD PA
Jane F., 32, wife, MD MD MD
Wm. H. H., 9, son MD OH MD
Walter, 6, son, MD OH MD
Ward, 4, son, MD OH MD
Harry, 20, son, MD OH MD
Lydia, 60, m-in-law
Jonathan, 29, B-in-law
Schroyer ?, 12, no relation

As with all genealogy, one answer to a question always seems to create another question; who was Jonathan, 29, B-in-law?

[glen]

The Sarah Kelly and William Friend liaison, does not pass the smell test when coupled with the supposed Wm H.H. (Harry) Friend. I'll not pursue the question for evidence, too far off my lines, but it looks erroneous. It's up to somebody else to provide reasonable documentation.

The 1880 census you cite above indicates Harry was born in MD, not WV.


The brother-in-law would be a s/o Jonathan Friend and Lydia Collins. I don't know anything else about them either.

[Pat (Friend) Thompson]

Glen, I was only stating the three are in this family. Wm. H. H. (father); Wm. H. H. (son) and Harry b. 1860 (son) in answer to your question. Wm. H. H. and Jane Frances (b. 1848) married 1870 so I would assume she was not his mother as she would have only been 12 years old when Harry was born.

William H. Friend, son of the late William H. and Jane Frances Friend, Friendsville, was found dead by his wife last Friday morning at his home. He had been ill but a few days and had chosen to remain up Thursday night by the fire, where he evidently suffered a heart attack. His body lay between a chair and the stove in the living room. He was aged 69 years, nine months and four days.

His wife, who survives was before her marriage Mrs. Effie Friend, of Friendsville. Also surviving are a daughter, Mrs. Thelma Friend Gilleland and two grandchildren, Virginia and Tommy Gilleland, Hagerstown; five brothers and a sister; Ward and Walter Friend, Pittsburgh; Harry Friend, Sand Spring; Theodore and Percy Friend, Friendsville, and Mrs. Blanche Guard, of Pittsburgh.

Funeral services were conducted in the Methodist church in Friendsville on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock with Rev. R. L. Greynolds in charge. Interment was in the Steele cemetery.

Pallbearers were Arnold E. Fox, Norval Speelman, Q. A. Murphy, Milton Forsythe, Clarence Fike and William E. Dunham.

Attending the funeral from Pittsburgh were Walter Friend, Mr. and Mrs. Ward Friend, Mrs. Blanche Guard, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin McClintock, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas G. Davis, Mrs. Blanche Ball and Ronald Guard.

Funeral services were held Monday, July 19, for Mrs. Effie Friend, aged 71 years, of Friendsville, who died at her home on Saturday morning, July 17. She was the widow of W. H. H. Friend, who preceded her in death three years ago. She was the daughter of Elijah and Annie E. Friend of Friendsville.

Surviving are one daughter, Mrs. Thelma Helen Gilleland, Hagerstown; one sister, Mrs. Mae Black, Friendsville; two brothers, J. Bunnell Friend, near Hoyes and H. Amster Friend, of Pittsburgh, and by two grandchildren, Thomas U. Gilleland and Virginia Lee Gilleland. One daughter, Genevieve, died at the age of eight years.

Private services were held at the home, after which final rites were conducted in the Methodist church at Friendsville with the Rev. R. L. Greynolds, former pastor, now pastor at Ridgeley, in charge, assisted by the Rev. H. R. Wriston.

Pallbearers were nephews of the deceased; Lawrence, Paul, Emmitt and Ernest Friend. Interment was in the Friendsville cemetery.

Mrs. Friend had been a member of the Friendsville Methodist church since 1885.

I have corrected Harry's place of birth to Maryland.

I don't list a son (Jonathan b. abt. 1851) for Jonathan Friend and Lydia Collins. Where did you find him?

[glen]

William H.H. Friend, b. 1870, d. Obit gives a date of death 1/2 Jan 1948 (probably a typo)


If William H.H. Friend was married to Jane Frances Friend, then presumably the mother-in-law Lydia Friend listed in the 1880 census is the mother of Jane. So Lydia's son Jonathan would be a brother of Jane, and hence a brother-in-law to William.

You're still calling Harry, "William Henry Harrison (Harry) Friend" ?

[Pat (Friend) Thompson]

I understand that Lydia's son, Jonathan, brother to Jane Frances would be William H. H.'s brother in law. What I am saying is I haven't found Lydia to have a son named Jonathan. I have her children listed as: Thomas; Jane Frances; Benjamin; Lot Joab; Andrew. I do not list a Jonathan as a son.

You are right. The father, Wm. H. H. went by the nickname of Squire. His son, Wm. H. H. went by the nickname Turkey Bill. His son by Sarah Kelly or unknown (which ever people prefer) went by the name of Harry. All were named William Henry Harrison Friend as far as I can tell.

[glen]

Pat,

Why do you think Jane Frances Friend did not/could not have a brother three years younger -- other than you do not have him in your records?


What record do you have that says "Harry" was really named Wm H.H. Friend, "how can you tell"? (see first post).

Just shooting from the hip now.

[Pat (Friend) Thompson]

I am not saying Lydia Collins Friend didn't have a son named Jonathan, of course she had to have a son named Jonathan in order for him to be listed as Wm. H. H.'s b-in-law in the 1880 census. What I am trying to say is I can't find him with his parents in any previous census records. I find the family in the 1850 census.
1850 MD census ED #2
Jonathan Friend, 30, b. OH
Lydia, 28, b. MD
Thos. 4, b. MD
Jane, 2, b. MD
I can't even find the family in the 1860 census and that is what I was asking; where could the be found? Was Jonathan (Sr.) still alive in 1860?

As for Harry being named Wm. H. H. Friend - I can not confirm so I am changing my records to read "Harry Friend".

Glen, you wrote:

I believe this Wm. H. H. Friend is the son of Josiah Friend and Lavina Kemp Friend (of the “Swanton Friends”).

I wondered if the COMPANY L, that you listed, was possibly Co. “I” ?

Like I said before "each genealogy answer always seems to create another question. Who was Theodore?

Harry Friend, 92, died at his late home at Blooming Rose, near Friendsville, yesterday morning at 5 o'clock.

Born June 15, 1860, at Blooming Rose, he was a son of the late William H. H. Friend and Sarah Kelly Friend. He was a member of the Jehovah Witnesses. For 52 years he had been engaged in farming.

Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Martha (Turnery) Friend; one daughter, Mrs. Olive M. Friend, Friendsville; six grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. Blance Guard, Glendale, CA, 3 brothers, Walter Friend and Ward Friend of Pittsburgh, PA and Theodore Friend, Friendsville.

Funeral services will be held on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Blooming Rose Church with interment in the church cemetery.

I haven't checked the 1860/70 census for this family, but I presume Jonathan was b. ca. 1851. It's a family I have no records on.

Yes, it appears Company I is correct, and L is a typo in the reference. I had to flip a couple pages to make sure.

Photo, Tombstone: William H.H. Friend, Co B, 2 Md Inf, Civil War, Nov 1840 - Jan 1919. (from my notes above) Mark Friend said the cemetery was Meth. Church Cem, Hoyes, Garrett Co, MD. Appearently that is wrong and he is in Blooming Rose Cemetery.

Harry, b. June 15, 1860, at Blooming Rose, s/o Sarah Kelly looks good now.

Thanks Pat,

I don't know how I missed that page, forgot it or what.

Blooming Rose (Mark Friend said the cemetery was a Methodist cemetery, located on Hoyes Rd, appearently he errored)

BTW, date of birth calculates to 26 Sep 1848, think I'll stick with the Nov 1848 date.
