Israel Friend 1797-1850 married Dorcas Willison 1807-1876. He was the son of Charles Friend and Prudence Hall, grandson of John (Old John) Friend, Sr. of Friendsville, MD.
In 1828 Israel traveled to Missouri with his parents. His father died there about 1832. The family, excluding his brother John, all returned to Maryland.
Glades Star Vol. 1, No. 12, page 94 - The Indian Path from Sang Run appears to have crossed the Youghiogheny just above the Falls near the mouth of Salt Block Run. This trail was used by the settlers for many years; at the mouth of Salt Block later Israel Friend, whose wife, Dorcas, ferried travelers across the river in her canoe.
Per "Indian Blood" Page. 110, Dorcas and Israel went to Missouri with Char les Friend. It appears they returned to Maryland, as on page 115, "settled at Salt Block”
