I noticed too that the Friend family listed here seem to be living beside BONNEL families as I follow them through the census. That might be a clue.
Just an interesting note but at the Ringer Cemetery, off Sand Spring Rd., near Friendsville, the Graves of Garrett Co., Book II, page 250, notes the only grave marked in this cemetery is that of John Ison Ringer 1854-1918 and wife, Lucetia A. Frantz 1854-1886. Note on this page from Ron Sands states that John Ison and Lucretia were his g, g, grandparents: Lucretia died trying to deliver twins while she had TB. The Ringers lived on land adjacent to the Sand Spring Cemetery.
Since the name John Ison is rare in the Friend line it makes me wonder if there is connection or if John Ison might not have been the name of a minister or doctor of the time. Families often named their children after such acquaintances.
Update: Nov. 2008 - M. E. Church that was located in Oakland, Maryland. The Reverend Benjamin Ison was the minister
