Hi Pat,
I am interested in any further info that you have on William H.H. Friend, s/o of Josiah Green Friend and Lavinia Kemp, m. Mary Sines. I believe he is the one in the 3rd PHB Infantry, he is my greatgrandfather. ( I already have his lineage). Bob

[Pat (Friend) Thompson]

Bob, I have this in my notes:

Friend Newsletter Summer 1997
Heather McCracken states that from W. H. H. Friend's Pension record, filed by his widow, Mary Sines Friend, that he died February 21, 1885. She does note that this is a different death date then those previously documented in the FRIEND records. W. H. H. Friend is buried at the Turkeyneck Road Friend Cemetery, in Garrett County, MD but his stone does not have dates, only that he was in CO I, 2 P.H.B. MD Vol. Inf. in which he served from Oct. 25, 1861 to May 29, 1865. {From Heather: Affidavits completed for the Pension records state that Harrison was a healthy man when he left for military service, but returned a very sick man. He never totally recovered from his war injuries} (He was wounded at Missionary Ridge, Tennessee and was a prisoner at Andersonville).

[Bob Johnston]

Thanks Pat, There is apparently no proof that he was in Andersonville, other than family lore.

[Doug Custer]

I can find only 6 Friends that where in Andersonville at this link www.montezuma-ga.org/chamber/namelookup.asp
