Annette,
I haven't been able to find anything on this John Friend. He was my 3rd Great Grandfather. There were so many John Friend's back in PA and it seems that any of them that it looks like could match don't show any children or anything that would confirm him for me. If you could come up with any info on him or his wife Catherine, I would surely appreciate it !
Thanks,
Steve Friend

Pat & Shirley,
If these records are true and correct, this confirms that this Johannes Friend is in fact my 4th Great Grandfather as I had thought. Shirley, what kind of file or records do you have there in the Friend library on this info about Johannes from this lady in AZ? I wish I could contact her to find her sources. Do you have a copy of his Will?
Thank you,
Steve Friend

Hello
It is difficult to keep up with this series of postings because there have been several private messages. So, if this is old, known stuff just ignore it. The ancestors of this John and Catherine came from some old FFAA files. How many John and Catherine, ca 1800 are there? Could this be the same John and Catherine posted by Steve Friend on March 28?
I also have a great deal of info on the descendents of Phillip Freund (and questions about the early immigrants).
Steve (Johnson)

Linda & Pat, This is Richard Friend. I go by Steve. I have been looking for the parents of my John Friend for quite some time now, with no luck on line. There are two Genealogy lines on Rootsweb with John Tobias Friend and family that look like real possibilities. This John Tobias Friend b.4 Sep 1752, Frederick Cty.,MD and married Anna Elizabeth Harsh, b.29 Nov 1726, MD. They had seven children, one of which was a "Johannes Friend" b. 30 Jan 1784 West Bethleham Twp.,Washington, PA who I believe to be my 4th Great Grandfather "John Friend" that I show b.1 Feb 1784 in PA. I cannot confirm Johannes to be the same person because I cannot find anyone who has any children or further info on him. Do you know of any info on this Johannes Friend or know of anyone that might? Best regards, Steve Friend |

Philip was born 1718, died 5 May 1801 in Washington Co, Pa. Anna Elizabetha was born 29 November 1726, died 2 Feb. 1797. Both are buried in Bethlehem Lutheran Cemetery, Glyde, Pa. Philips will (will book Vol. 1 p. 424) Philip Leaves "virtually all my real estate and personal property to my two sons Philip and Stophel". Philip also leaves 20 pounds to each of his other children: George, Elizabeth Walters, Tobias, Charity Rickett and Catherine Walters. Tobias and Philip are executors.
(John) Tobias Friend- b. 4 sept 1752, died 8 July 1829 (Aged 76y10m2w4d)
Sp. Anna Margareta Harsh- b. Feb 1758, died 15 Jan 1829. Married 2 Nov 1778 by Rev. Geo. Young, Frederick Md. Margarets parents were Simon Hershe (Harsh) and Anna Maria Lawar. Simon was born 1722, died 1807; immigrated on ship "Lydia" with his parents Conrad Hans and Ulifronica Hirsch. diembarked in Philia. on 27 Sep 1740 at age 18. The Harsh family settled in the German Colony near Philia. By 1780 Simon moved his family to Wash. Co., Pa. He acquired the patent to "fairfield" of 353 acres. Tobias is listed as a pvt in Capt William Heyser's Co- "Revolutionary patriots of Wash Co. Md". A muster roll dated Oct 23, 1776 in continental service state he had deserted but he is on duty in May 1777. Tobias is listed in Capt. George Miars company in the Wash Co., Pa militia and is in Ensign Zophar Balls co 1782-85. Tobias bequeathed "To my loving wife Margaret one cow, two beds and bedding and all the linen and cloth... the stove and as much kitchen furniture as she thinks proper to keepe". His children are provided for as well; Elizabeth Connesstrick, Magdlen Hearsh, Margaret Friend, John, Mary Miller and "My wife's son Henry". (I thought the last was odd, was she married before?).

Richard - I come from Philip Jr. so I didn't research this line directly. All I can give you is:
Johannes Freund and Catarina baptised their children at Bethlehem Lutheran Church -
Jacob b. 12 Oct 1808, Anna b. 15 Apr 1811, Jonathan b. 3 Apr 1814 and Rahel b. 18 Jul 1817
Johannes Freund was confirmed at Bethlehem on 20 April 1799 at age 15 (birth year 1784)
P.S. I mentioned before that John Tobias was in William Heyser's Co. William Heyser's Co. served as part of the German Regiment. I'll be happy to send you pics of his and his wifes gravestone.
