Freeman is the person referred to in the post about the two Friend cowboys. Lizzie Jane Friend is the second wife of D. L. Friend. D. L. Friend was a well known hunter in Missouri , had a large hunting collection, an elk farm , and ran Friend's ferry .

Lizzie Jane Friend was Elizabeth Jane, the daugther of Joseph H. Friend and Florence Fern Friend, all from today's Garrett Co., Maryland.

Freeman Friend was born in my hometown, Deer Park, Garrett Co., Maryland.

Rachel Browning was the daughter of Meshach and Mary McMullen Browning. Meshach wrote "Forty Years in the Life of a Hunter" in 1859.

I would like to hear more about your Maryland roots.

Thank you Pat. This is the reason I joined the message board hoping to connect with other Friend family that had info that I just couldn't find on my own.

Lizzie Jane died in 1936 and is buried in Mountain Home, Baxter, Arkansas.

Thanks again.

Gust,
I think you will be interested in the John Friend, Jr. book by Dr. Patrick Smith, which covers Freeman's family and ancestors back to John Jr.

The John Friend, Sr. book would complete your line to this Friendsville, MD Friend line.

All proceeds go to the FFAA (a non-profit organization) which provides this message board for viewers.
