We are pleased to announce the next book in our
series on the Friend Family
John Friend Jr.
of
“Friend’s Delight”
Sang Run, Maryland
by
Dr. Patrick T. Smith
John Friend
Jr. spent his youth in the late 18th century wilderness of Western
Maryland. John Friend Jr., his wife Elizabeth Ward and their thirteen children
would eventually settle on a tract of land called “Friend’s Delight” in Sang
Run, MD. John Friend Jr. left no dairies or personal papers, which could be used
to define the man and his time. There are no known photographs or descriptions
of John or his wife Elizabeth. This book attempts to chronicle the lives of
John Friend Jr. and Elizabeth Ward as well as thousands of their descendents
through US Census records, family bibles, land deeds, wills, photographs,
personal histories and death certificates. Due volume of information, two of
John Jr.’s sons (Cornelius Ward and Elijah) will be featured in separate
books in the near future. Cornelius Ward and Elijah Friend, as well as their
descendents, are briefly outlined in this book. This book is the promised
continuation of Patty (Friend) Thompson’s “John Friend Sr. of Friendsville,
MD”. The primary goal of this work is to preserve this history before it is
lost to time. This reference book is comprised of 524 pages, fully indexed
and presented in an outline format. The author openly welcomes and
encourages any additions and/or corrections to this information. Pat Smith 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.com
).
The initial
cost of printing the book has been donated to the FFAA. Proceeds from the sale
of this book will go to the FFAA (a non-profit organization). All book sales
