Joseph Harrison Friend (1839-1925) and Florence L. “Fern” Friend (1841-1930) spent their lives in the Western part of Garrett County, MD. Joseph was the son of Elijah Friend, grandson of John Friend, Jr. and great grandson of John Friend, Sr. of Friendsville, MD. Florence L. Friend was the daughter of Joab Jonah Friend, granddaughter of Andrew Coleman Friend, great granddaughter of Joseph Friend, and 2x great granddaughter of John Friend, Sr. of Friendsville, MD. The information on Joseph, Florence and their descendants has been incorporated into several books. The first part of each book presents a brief the history of the Friend family from Nils Larson Friend (Frande), a Swedish immigrate who came to the New World in 1648, to Joseph and Florence’s parents. The next section presents information on Joseph and Florence. The histories of these books were formed with birth, marriage, death and burial records and expanded with the US Census, family bibles, books, land deeds, wills, estate records, photographs, personal histories and military accounts. The first three children (Eliza Jane Friend, Ophelia Alice Friend and Walter Rudolphus Friend) are presented in great detail in the first book. The next group of children (Lillian Alva Friend, Marcellus Dalton Friend, Joab Friend and Reuben Ormey Friend) are presented in the second book, while the remaining children (Cora Ellen Friend, Roy Clyde Friend, Martin Perry Friend and Ola Merrill Friend) will following in the third book. If a child is presented in one book, they and their family are briefly outlined in the corresponding book.
