Friend Family Vital Statistics by Lester D. Friend

[terriwalker]

While searching Google Books, I found mention of my ancestor, Elizabeth Friend in a book published in 1964, titled "Friend Family; Vital Statistics" by Lester D. Friend.

Elizabeth married 1812 in Tuscarawas County, Ohio to John Firebaugh.

Can anyone identify the Franklin Friend who is indicated by Lester D. Friend, to have been the father of Elizabeth?

Hello Terry,

I assume you have checked trees on Ancestry.com, which lists the parents of Elizabeth Friend Firebaugh as Jacob Friend and Margaret Bower. And Jacob's father as Andrew Friend and Josepha Drake (my fifth gr grandparents). I do not know this part of the family well enough to confirm or refute this.

I know there is a post on this board that points out there is no real proof that Josepha Drake was md to Andrew Friend.


On the other hand, your Lester Friend book from 1964 does include this marriage. Too bad the Google book is only a snippet.

To Everyone: How reputable is the Lester Friend book? He also includes my Friend connection (as Abrahams, no first name given) to Jemima Friend, d/o of Andrew. That relationship has no known documents supporting it that I know of (but would love to see).
