My name is Tamara Henderson, I'm from Doddridge Co. West Virginia. My grandfather's name was William Robert Friend, his father's name was John Ison Friend, from Maryland. I found out all my grandfather's brothers and sisters names, but was hoping to dig a little deeper. I'm trying to find out more about John Ison Friend that moved to West Virginia. His wife's maiden name was Mary Virginia Duckworth, I believe that she was from the same area in Maryland. Also, my mother told me that my grandpa was related to people by the last name of Savage. Any info would be greatly appreciated. I will dig around on this website and see if I can find any clues. My grandpa was an avid hunter and well know for his abilities in this area. I'm just trying to do my family tree and that is as far as I have gotten.
Thanks for any help,
Tamara Henderson

Hello Tamara, welcome to the message board.
I have information for John Ison Friend but right now I am in the middle of changing over to a new computer and I don't have a lot of my files on this new computer. I researched John Ison's line a year or so ago. I found many in his family working at the glass factory in Doddridge County.
Was John ison a brother to Upton Friend;? I am trying to think, from memory, am talking about the right family? If so, John Ison's father was Jesse Friend and his mother was Maria Savage Friend.
There was a minister in Garrett County named John Ison and I believe your great grandfather was probably named after the minister.
