Jemima Friend Abrams - Turkeyfoot, PA

[martinabrams]

Jemima Friend, b1750s, was the daughter of Andrew Friend and Josepha Drake. She lived in Turkeyfoot, PA before moving to KY in the 1790s/early 1800s. She married Thomas Abrams (Abraham) of Turkeyfoot/Confluence, Somerset Co, PA (probably Bedford at that time).

Thomas' brother, Henry Jr married Sarah Friend, sister of Jemima.

These relationhips are often quoted on the Internet, w/o sources.

There is a refence to most of the above in a book by Blackburn and Welfey in 1906.

That doesn't mean its true
I am not saying it isn't true, just there are a lot of relationships with no proof.

Thomas md Jemima Friend - not proven Thomas and Henry Abrams were brothers, not proven, altho DNA tests match
Andrew Friend married Josepha Drake - not proven (is it??)

I believe the marriage of Henry Abrams Jr to Sarah Abrams is not disputed. Records exist.

I am a gggg grandson of Thomas Abrams (that's proven) and Jemima Friend (I hope).

Can any of the Friends confirm any of the above?

Misc: In succeeding generations of Thomas desc, there were at least 3 individuals named Friend Abrams, presumably after Jemima Friend's family. Mostly in KY.


Thank you for any help.
