Virginia, Berkeley County (now WV) Andrew Friend and Alexander B. Oden bound to William B. Giles, Esqr. May 8th 1828, desires license to marry Harried Hayes. No ages are given for Andrew or Harriet.
Was this Andrew Friend the son of Jacob Friend b. abt 1766 who married Elizabeth Prather b. April 11, 1766? The family originated in Washington Co., MD, the Williamsport area.
I think it is likely but I need proof.
I show Andrew Friend b. Nov 25, 1795 d. Feb 9, 1863
Harriet b. Dec 27, 1805 d. Mar 27, 1846
I believe Andrew and Harriet were the parents of:
Edward H. .b Aug 27, 1830 d. June 13, 1903 m. Charlotte Albert 1831-1900
Jane E. Friend b. 1829 m. William James
Rachel b. 1834 m. Harrison Conley
Gabriel Eli b. 1836 d. 1856
Sarah E. b. 1842 m. B. F. "Frank" Vandeventer
Andrew Jackson b. 1844 d. 1845
Andrew, Harriet, Andrew Jackson, Gabriel Eli, Edward H. & wife Charlotte are all buried at the Riverview Cemetery, Williamsport, Maryland. (Cemetery records show Andrew Jackson and Gabriel Eli as sons of Andrew & Harriet Friend)
Since Harriet died before the 1850 census I can not place her in the household with Andrew and his children.
