03787 Friend, Charles A-1-3 20 Mar 1751, Cathery Friend, al
03788 Friend, Gabriel A-1-139 14 May 1760, Thomas Prather, al (al = and others).
I found Gabriel Friend's will:
"In the Name of God Amen I Gabriel Friend of Frederick County and province of Maryland being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory thanks be therefore unto almighty God knowing that it is appointed for all men once to died do make and ordaine this my last will and testament in the following manner and form,
First principally remand my soul unto the hands of God who gave it and my body to be buried at the discretion of my Executors hereafter named and touching such worldly goods as hath pleased almighty God to bless me with in this life I give, devise and dispose of in the following manner and form___
Imp (First it) is my desire and I do order that in the first place all my just debts and funeral charges be paid and satisfied.__
Item I give and bequest to my loving brother Jacob Friend ...
moveable property to Charles
moveable property to friend Col. Thomas Prather.
22 Nov 1859. (This is probably a typo? Should it read 1759?
***
I list Gabriel as the son of Charles Friend of Williamport, (now) Washington Co., Maryland -owner of Swede's Delight.
