We are pleased to
announce the next two books in our series on the Friend Family
Josiah Green Friend
of
Swanton, MD
(Book I & II)
by
Patty (Friend) Thompson
Patrick T. Smith
Josiah Green Friend
was the third son of Joseph Friend and Sarah Green Friend as well as a grandson
of John Friend Sr. (1728 to aft.1808). Josiah Green Friend married Lavina Kemp,
November 10, 1825, left his home in Friendsville, MD and travel to the Southern
part of Allegany (Garrett) County, Maryland, settling in the Swanton area. These
two books chronicle personal histories, birth, death and marriage dates as well
as letters, photographs, lands deed, wills, military records and US Census
records. Four of Josiah’s sons would serve in the Union Army during the American
Civil War. Because of the massive amount of material, Josiah Green Friend’s
family has been divided into two books. Book I focuses on the oldest
four children (Sarah A., Elizabeth, Mariah and Joseph Fletcher) while
Book II focuses on the youngest four children (Andrew Grant, William Henry
Harrison, Benjamin Franklin and John Bunyon ). This book is the promised
continuation of Patty (Friend) Thompson’s “John Friend Sr. of Friendsville,
MD”. Each reference book is fully indexed and presented in an outline
format. Additions or corrections are welcomed and the authors can be
contacted through the Friend Family Association of America (FFAA) at
Friendsville, MD or by e-mail through the FFAA web-site (www.friendfamilyassociation.org
). The initial cost of printing the book has been donated to the FFAA. Proceeds
from the initial copies and reprints produced by the FFAA
book will go to the FFAA (a non-profit organization). All book
sales are tax deductible. Each book in the initial offering will be signed by
the author.
