I believe the "first John" you list and Nicholas Friend are brothers, sons of Johannes and Anna Coleman Friend. I don't have the 1785-1786-1972-1793-1794 files. Are they available online? What is the name of the library where you found this information? Can you give us an address for the library? The last record I have for Nicholas is (from Glen Swartz): The First Assessment List.- This assessment list was taken for Brothersvalley Township of Bedford County (this township included all of what is now Somerset County lying west of the Allegheny Mountain) in 1772 for the 1773 taxes. 1773; Taxables in the County of Bedford Co (PA Arch., Ser.3, Vol.22. pp2-53). Brothers Valley Township. p12. Friend, Andrew, 50 acres, 10 cleared, tax 4.0. p13. Friend, Augustine, 100 acres, 2 cleared, tax 7.6. p13. Friend, Charles, 200 acres, 10 cleared, tax 3.0. p14. Inmates: Nicholas Friend, tax 1.0 (the same for all inmates). (In 1773, Turkeyfoot was still a part of Brothers Valley. Inmates is a term for a renter, or someone living in another household) The acreage is from www.pa-roots.com/users/bedford/taxlists/tl1772brothersvalley.html[accessed Dec 2004] -----------------------------------------

Dear Pat, I should do a better job of referencing where I located the info, will try to do better. The info I sent came from on line, 1st.--Pa. State Archives on line, section under research land records. RG-17 Records of the Land Office, Indices, 1684-ca. 1957. Series # 17.147 ( microfilm roll #L01.16 ); series # 17.154 ( microfilm roll #L01.16-18 ); series # 17.155 ( microfilm roll #L01.18-20 ). 2nd--the Pa. Genweb Project, from one of the counties. Hope this helps. Dave.
