1. ii. Mary Polly Garland.

iii. Ephraim Garland was born on 25 August 1824 at Bethel Twp., Bedford Co., PA. We see from the 1850 -1880 U.S. census that Ephraim followed the occupation of farmer. He married Mary Ann Winters, daughter of Joseph Jacob Winters and Rachel Garland, on 18 November 1847 at Bethel Twp., Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. He married Arminda Hoopengardner, daughter of Abraham Hoopengardner and Martha (--?--), on 18 August 1864 at Bedford Co., PA. He died on 16 January 1891 at Buck Valley, Fulton Co., PA, at age 66.

Generation Three

4. George³ Garland was born, before 1755. He died in Bethel Twp., Bedford Co., Pennsylvania. Occupation: Farmer. He married Elizabeth Friend (see #5), the daughter of Nils "Nicholas" Friend and Maria Elizabeth (--?--), circa 1785, in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. George and Elizabeth resided in Bethel Township.⁽⁹⁾ On 27th February 1793 George was issued a Warrant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for fifty acres of land in Bethel Twp., Bedford County, (now Fulton County,) adjoining land of his father-in-law Nicholas Friend. In 1798, George owned a house sized 20' X 18' with a value of $14.00 and a stable sized 20' X 18' on one hundred acres with a total value of $114.00.⁽¹⁰⁾ In 1835, George Garland's son George bought out the rest of the heirs, paying two hundred and sixty dollars for two hundred and fifty acres. The "Old Garland Home" has remained in the Garland family until resent times when the late Mrs. May Garland sold the home after the death of her husband, Marshall. This author met Mrs. Garland the 4th of June 1984. Mrs. Garland had in her possession at that time the family Bible of George and Elizabeth (Friend) Garland which named their children and the date of their births. Mrs. Garland also had all of the old land deeds, many personal Garland family letters and papers. Mrs. May garland gave this author and her husband a tour of the "Old Garland Home" at the time it was being restored. The original house consisted of a stone cellar, a main floor and a loft. The house is built on the side of a steep hill so that the stone cellar wall is fully exposed in front but, completely underground in back. It looks like a three-story house from the front but, you can enter the main or middle floor from the back without stepping up. Mrs. Garland said this was an addition that was added in later years. It was built of large logs chinked with mud and straw. The loft was removed and replaced with a second story. The stone cellar wall in the front has three small windows with thick bars of oak. The cellar door was of heavy oak with oak hinges. The fireplace on the main floor is very impressive. It is large and has a trimmel for hanging cooking pots. George died in 1829, and his will was probated 13 April 1829 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.⁽¹¹⁾ George and Elizabeth are buried at Hills Chapel Cemetery in Fulton County, Pennsylvania.⁽¹²⁾

5. Elizabeth³ Friend (Nils, #10) was born circa 1775. She married George Garland (see #4) circa 1785.
 
 

Generation Four

10. Nils "Nicholas"⁴ Friend (John, #20) was born at New Jersey. He married Maria Elizabeth (--?--) (see #11) circa 1768. He died circa 1821. Note: This Nicholas Friend must not be confused with his uncle of the same name, who came to Maryland from New Jersey and who was the progenitor of the Garrett County, Maryland family. The first reference to Nicholas, son of John II, is found in the records of the Lutheran Church.⁽¹⁴⁾ The two entries therein concerned the baptism of Catherine, daughter of Nicholas and Maria Elizabeth Freund (Germanic Spelling of Friend), born 27 October 1771 and Jacob, son of Nicholas and Maria Elizabeth Freund, born 10 July 1773. We find no record of the marriage of Nicholas and Elizabeth or the birth of their daughter, Elizabeth (see below). Nor do we find a record of the death of the wife, Elizabeth, though we will see from his will that he had a second wife, Barbara. The next record of Nicholas and Elizabeth Friend is in the land records of Frederick County, Maryland. He was deeded a tract of "Irregular Figure on 2 August 1782.⁽¹⁵⁾ On 28 August 1787, he and his wife, Elizabeth, deeded Irregular Figure to Michael Heverley.⁽¹⁶⁾ Possibly, before 1782 he lived on one of his father's Frederick County properties. On 23 November 1785 Nicholas friend received a warrant for 150 acres of land in Bedford County, Pennsylvania.⁽¹⁷⁾ On 19th September 1796 he was deeded an additional tract of land in Bedford Co., Pennsylvania by Peter Haus (Hess).⁽¹⁸⁾ He was listed in the U.S. Census of 1790 in Bedford Co., Pennsylvania as head of a household consisting of one male over sixteen and one female. Obviously, Nicholas' children no longer lived in their father's household. In 1800 the census for Bethel Township of Bedford County listed Nicholas Friend.⁽¹⁹⁾ In the U.S. Direct Tax of 1798, Nicholas is listed in Bethel Township, as having a barn sized 48' X 25' on 165 acres near John Hill with a value of $180.00.⁽²⁰⁾ He also owned a 2-story log and stone house sized 30' X 25' with one window and twelve panes. The value of this house was $130.00.⁽²¹⁾ Nicholas Friend's will was made 15 September 1819 and probated 22 May 1821.⁽²²⁾ He named his then wife, Barbery (Barbara) and three children. He left his real property to his daughter, Elizabeth Garland. To his son, Jacob Friend, and his other daughter, Catherine Hoopengartner, he left twenty dollars each, to be paid by Elizabeth and her husband George Garland. Doubless, Jacob's earlier departure for Kentucky and Ohio accounts for his not inheriting the Bedford County property. That Elizabeth, Nicholas' first wife, and not Barbara was the mother of his children, is indicated by the baptismal record. In addition, when Barbara's will was probated 5 December 1833 she named none of Nicholas' children but several of her own by a previous marriage, including two sons whose surname was McKinley, no doubt the surname of her previous husband.

The three known children of Nils "Nicholas"⁴ Friend and Maria Elizabeth (--?--) (see #11) were as follows:

i. Catherine³ Friend married Mr. (--?--) Hoopengartner. She was christened in 1771 at Frederick Co., Maryland. She was born on 27 October 1771.

ii. Jacob Friend was christened in 1773 at Frederick Co., Maryland. He was born on 10 July 1773.

5. iii. Elizabeth Friend.

11. Maria Elizabeth⁴ (--?--) married Nils "Nicholas" Friend (see #10), son of John Friend II and Elizabeth Banner, circa 1768.
 
 

Generation Five

20. John⁵ Friend II (Johannes Frande/Friend, #40) was born 19 September 1713 in Gloucester County, New Jersey. He was baptized as Johannes Nilsson.⁽²³⁾ He married Elizabeth Banner (see #21). He is listed as taxables with elder brother Nils in Monocacy Hundred in 1733.⁽²⁴⁾ Land surveyed for him in 1755 in Frederick (later Hampshire) County, Virginia adjoining his brother Nils on the Potomac River.⁽²⁵⁾ He died circa 1778.

The eight known children of John⁵ Friend II and Elizabeth Banner (see #21) were as follows:

i. Mary⁴ Frande/Friend She married Mr. Cessna. She died at Phillips Fort, Kentucky.

ii. Joseph Frande/Friend married Rachel Rose.

iii. John Friend married Eleanor Banner. Their son Banner died in Kentucky.

iv. Isaac Frande/Friend. He settled in Hodgenville, Kentucky about 1792. His son Jesse married Polly" Mary Hanks, the sister of Lucy Hanks who was Nancy Hanks mother. Polly Friend was present at the birth of Abraham Lincoln.⁽²⁶⁾ died at Hodgenville, Kentucky.

v. Susannah Frande/Friend married Mr. (--?--) Phillips.

vi. Nancy Frande/Friend married Jediah Ashcraft.

vii. Elizabeth Frande/Friend married Mr. (--?--) Hench.

10. viii. Nils "Nicholas" Friend was born in New Jersey. He married Maria Elizabeth (--?--) circa 1768. The first reference to the Nicholas, son of John II, is found in the records of the Lutheran Church.⁽²⁷⁾ The two entries therein concern the baptisms of Catherine, daughter of Nicholas and Maria Elizabeth Freund, born 27 October 1771 and Jacob, son of Nicholas and Maria Elizabeth Freund, born 10 July 1773. We find no record of the marriage of Nicholas and Elizabeth or the birth of their daughter, Elizabeth. Nor do we find a record of the death of the wife, Elizabeth, thought we will see from his will that he had a second wife, Barbara. He died circa 1821.

21. Elizabeth⁵ Banner married John Friend II (see #20), son of Johannes "John" Nilsson Frande/Friend I and Anna Coleman.
 
 

Generation Six

40. Johannes "John" Nilsson⁶ Frände/Friend I (Nils Friend/Frande, #80) was born circa 1666 in Gloucester Co., New Jersey. married Anna Coleman (see #41), daughter of Henry Coleman and Anna Hendricksson. He died on 8 March 1737.

The couple lived in 1697 at Crum Creek with their daughter.⁽²⁸⁾ By 1707 John was living in Gloucester County, New Jersey. He then purchased 300 acres of land from his brother-in-law Olof Dalbo and Peter Lock.⁽²⁹⁾ He was named overseer of roads for Greenwich Twp., in 1714, tax collector in 1716 and served as justice on the Gloucester County Court in 1717/18. From the number of lawsuits filed against him in the 1720's in which the constable was unable to serve process, he appears to have been frequently out of the county, (Gloucester County court records, Woodbury, New Jersey). In church affairs, he generally went by his patronym, Johannes Nilsson. In civil affairs, he was generally known as John Friend, although one 1726 lawsuit named him as Johance Neils alias John Friend. At the time of his death on 8 March 1737 he was living at Penns Neck, Salem County, New Jersey.⁽³⁰⁾ In his will he names all of his children except for the first one shown in the Rudman census.

The known children of Johannes "John" Nilsson⁶ Frande/Friend I and Anna Coleman (see #41) were as follows:

i. Helen "Eleanor"⁵ Friend was born on 26 January 1697 at Crum Creek, Chester Co., PA.; single in April 1721 when she owed debt to her cousin Charles Dalbo but known as Helena Seneck [Sinnickson] when she died at the house of her father, John Nilsson, 4 June 1721.⁽³¹⁾

ii. Nil "Nicholas" was born circa 1700. He moved to Maryland by 1733 when he was shown as tydable in Monocacy Hundred.⁽³²⁾By 1754 he was residing in Frederick Co., (now Hampshire) Virginia.⁽³³⁾

iii. Anna "Nanne" Friend was born circa 1702 at New Jersey. She was described as Anna Nils on 13 February 1724 when she became the second wife of Andres Hendrickson of Penns Neck.⁽³⁴⁾ They had two known children John⁽³⁵⁾ who was born 1725 and Andreas,⁽³⁶⁾ born 1727.

iv. Ephraim Friend was born circa 1704 at New Jersey. He married Brigitta Sinnickson on 5 June 1731 at Salem Co., New Jersey. was born circa 1704. He died before 1749. Four known children, of whom Andrew (born 1736) and Isaac , the youngest were living with Ephraim's unmarried brother Charles in 1749.⁽³⁷⁾ The eldest children John, born circa 1733 and Annica, born circa 1735, apparently died in infancy.

v. Mary Friend was born circa 1706 at New Jersey. She married her Penns Neck neighbor Abraham Savoy, although the couple went across the river to Christ Church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania⁽³⁸⁾ for the nuptials, 9 November 1726. Abraham Savoy died a few months later.⁽³⁹⁾

vi. Sarah Friend was born circa 1708. She married Jonas Keen, circa 1733. He most likely was the eldest son of Mans Keen and the great grandson of Jürgen Kühn of Upland. Sarah and Jonas had two know daughters, Magdalena, born 1734 and Rachel, born 1736. After the death of Jonas, Sarah then married Swan Lock, circa 1740. He was a grandson of Pastor Lars Carlsson Lock. Sarah and Swan had five children before 1754: Elias, Sarah, Susannah, Lydia and Andrew.⁽⁴⁰⁾ Sarah was described as a "religious Swedish Widow" when she died of cancer in 1778 in Gloucester County, New Jersey⁽⁴¹⁾ at the estimated age of 70.

vii. Andrew Friend was born circa 1711. He was co-heir with brother Charles of his father's land. On 11 July 1739 and 25 September 1741, he and his brother Charles deeded this land to Lawrence Sträng.⁽⁴²⁾ By 1763 he had acquired 252 acres in Hampshire County, Virginia, on the Potomac River at the upper end of Long Bottom.⁽⁴³⁾

20. viii. John Friend II., was born 19 September 1713 in Gloucester County, New Jersey. He was baptized as Johannes Nilsson.⁽⁴⁴⁾ He married Elizabeth Banner. He is listed as taxables with elder brother Nils in Monocacy Hundred in 1733.⁽⁴⁵⁾ Land surveyed for him in 1755 in Frederick (later Hampshire) County, Virginia adjoining his brother Nils on the Potomac River.⁽⁴⁶⁾ He died circa 1778.

ix. Charles Friend was born in November 1716 at Gloucester Co., New Jersey. Charles was baptized as Carl Nilsson 25 November 1716.⁽⁴⁷⁾ Charles will dated 17 April 1749 and was proven 26 April 1749, in Penns Neck, Salem County, showed he had no wife or children; co-heir with brother Andrew of his father's estate; his own estate left to "cousin" (nephew) Andrew Friend at 21; otherwise, to Andrew's brother Isaac Friend, both being children of Ephraim Friend.⁽⁴⁸⁾

41. Anna⁶ Coleman (Hendrick, #82) married Johannes "John" Nilsson Frande/Friend I (see #40), son of Nils Larsson Friend/Frande and Anna Andersson.on, circa 1696. Anna Friend, apparently died 11 August 1739.⁽⁴⁹⁾
 
 

Generation Seven

80. Nils Larsson⁷ Friend/Frände. In a telephone conversation with Peter S. Craig, date 20 September 1995, he granted me permission to quote this family from his book "The 1693 Census of The Swedes on The Delaware" giving him full credit. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.F., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016.

Nils Larsson Friend/Frände arrived in New Sweden on the Swan in 1648 and, during Rising's administration, served as gevaldiger (policeman). Nils Larsson married Anna Andersson (see #81), daughter of Anders Andersson and Christina Goolbrant, circa 1656. By 1668, he had adopted the name Frände, meaning "kinsman" or "blood relative" in Swedish. In that year, with Olle Rawson and Olle Jönsson, he was granted a permit by the New Jersey governor to buy West Jersey lands from the Indians. His own residence at the time was at Upland, Chester County, where he continued to live until his death. His house was the usual meeting place of the Upland court. He also owned 800 acres on Red Clay Creek, which had been granted by William Penn in exchange for 200 acres in Bucks County, which Penn wanted for his Pennsbury estate.

By early December 1686, Nils Larsson became gravely ill. At the Chester County Court on the third day of the first week of the tenth month (December), 1686, "Andrew Friend was attested constable for the Township of Chester in the Roome of his father Neales Lawson."⁽⁵⁰⁾ Two weeks later, the family summoned Charles Springer from the Crane Hook Swedish congregation to help Nils with his last will and testament. Springer was summoned because he was the only member of the Swedish community on the Delaware who had any formal training in writing English, the language of the court. Charles Springer and John Hodskins, and Englishman and Nils' predecessor as constable, both witnessed the will.⁽⁵¹⁾ Nils Larsson died in December 1686 in Upland, Chester Co. (now Delaware Co.), Pennsylvania. Although the will of Nils Larsson does not name any of his children, court records of Upland and Chester counties identify ten children of Nils Larsson and Anna. There were four sons and six daughters. There may well have been other children who died before reaching adulthood. Ordinarily, among the early Swedish settlers, children were born every two years. The gap was shorter only if the prior child died in childbirth or shortly thereafter. With miscarriages the spacing could be longer. It is interesting to note that the will was not proved until 12 June 1689, it seems clear that Nils Larsson died shortly after the will was executed. On 7 September 1687, Anne the relict and executrix of Neales Lawson "late of Chester" and Andrew Friend, her son, passed a deed to Robert Wade for two parcels of land in the town of Chester.⁽⁵²⁾

Other land transactions were soon to follow. On 21 May 1689 widow Anne Friend and her sons Andrew Friend and Johannes Friend deeded to Robert Barber a house and lot in Chester Town.⁽⁵³⁾ On 27 May 1689, the same three deeded to David Lloyd 183 acres lying in Upland with all the housing and improvements upon the same.⁽⁵⁴⁾ This was Nils Larsson's original Upland patent for 150 acres which, on resurvey, proved to be 183 acres. The warrant for the resurvey of his 1669 patent had been issued by James Claypoole on the fourth day the 12th Month 1684 (4 February 1684/5) not 4 December 1864 as is usually reported.⁽⁵⁵⁾
 

Nils Larsson Fränd was survived by his wife Anna and ten children, including Brigitta, who was the wife of John Cock; Anders; Catharine, wife of Olof Dalbo and Maria, wife of Gabriel Cock. His six younger children lived with their mother in 1693.⁽⁵⁶⁾ His sons used the Patronymic Nilsson and the surname Friend interchangeably. Ultimately, Friend became the family name.
 

The ten known children of Nils Larsson⁷ Friend/Frände and Anna Andersson (see #81) were as follows:
 

i. Brigitta "Brita"⁶ Friend/Frände was born circa 1657. She is identified as a daughter of Nils Larsson in the Chester County court record of 13 December 1698 when the Grand Jury's presentment against "John Cock's wife and her sister (Sarah Friend" was dismissed because no one appeared in court to testify against them.⁽⁵⁷⁾ She married John Cock. Pastor Rudman's 1697 Church census showed John Cock and his wife Brigitta living at Crum Creek with seven children, the eldest of whom Peter was born in 1679.⁽⁵⁸⁾ Initially, after their marriage, John and Brigitta Cock had lived in Passyunk (South Philadelphia). He was described as John Cock of Passayunk on a Philadelphia County deed of 1 May 1691,⁽⁵⁹⁾

ii. Anders "Andrew" Friend/Frände was born circa 1659 at Upland, Chester Co. (now Delaware), PA. He married Isabel (--?--) circa 1681. He was sixteen years old by November 1677, when he was listed as tydable by the Upland Court, indicating that his birth was in 1661 at the latest. He was named a defendant (as Andreas Nielson) in a lawsuit at the Upland Court on 13 September 1681, suggesting that he was 21 by that time. As Anders Frende, he is shown as heading a household of four persons in May 1693. Thus, he appears to have been married with two children by this time. The name of his wife at that time is not reported. Later, his wife's name was shown to be Isabel. However, this given name is not found among his descendants, which suggests that she was his second wife. The eldest known surviving son of Andrew Friend was named Israel Friend.. In 1693 Andrew Friend's family lived in Ridley Twp., adjacent to his mother and siblings. By 1699-1700, however, he was a resident of New Castle County. He probably then lived on part of his late father's 800 acre tract, "oak Hill", east of Red Clay Creek, a tributary of Christina Creek. By 1710, Andrew Friend had moved to North East, Maryland, on a tributary to the Chesapeake Bay. This is shown by the diary of the Swedish minister, Andreas Sandel, who had succeeded Andreas Rudman as pastor of Gloria Dei (Old Swedes) Church at Wicaco in 1703.

iii. Catherine "Carin" Friend/Frände was born circa 1661. As "Carey", the court clerk's corruption of "Carin", the shortened form of Catharine used by the Swedes), she and her sister Mary Nealson testified in the Upland Court on 13 September 1681. Both, therefore, were 18 or older. In addition, Catharine's age was reported to be "about 60" at the time of her death in Gloucester County, New Jersey, 19 April 1721.⁽⁶⁰⁾ It is confirmed, by various record, that she married Olof Dalbo, circa 1681 and soon moved to Gloucester County, West Jersey, where they reared a family of at least nine children. Olof Dalbo, was the son of Anders Larsson Dalbo and Elizabeth, the widow of Matts Hansson and mother of Peter Mattsson and Johannes Mattsson. The latter two., half-brothers of Olof Dalbo, sometimes used the alias of Dalbo. Olof Dalbo, commonly called Olle or Wolly Dalbo, ultimately Anglicized his name to William Dalbo and died in 1712 in Gloucester County, New Jersey on his plantation known as "Fishing Place".⁽⁶¹⁾

iv. Maria "Mary" Friend/Frände was born circa 1663; She married Gabriel Cock in 1697 according to Rudman census. Her father, Nils Larsson, had named two Cock brothers and Olof Dalbo in his will to assist his widow. The youngest of six Cock brothers, the sons of Peter Larsson Cock and Margaret Lom. Gabriel Cock was born in 1663. After the death of his father, Gabriel Cock inherited "Peter Cock's Island" in the Schuylkill. This land was subsequently known as Fishers Island and Carpenters Island, Gabriel Cock having sold them to John Fisher and Samuel Carpenter in 1707 and 1714.⁽⁶²⁾ Most of the family then moved to St. George in New Castle County, presumably to live with the widow Brigitta Friend Cock, and then to Gloucester County, New Jersey; many of them later moved west to the Potomac River Valley, including their sons. Isaac and Friend. The surname Cock evolved into Cox.

40. v. Johannes "John" Nilsson Frände/Friend I., was born circa 1666 in Gloucester Co., New Jersey. He married Anna Coleman, circa 1696. The couple lived in 1697 at Crum Creek with their daughter.⁽⁶³⁾ At the time of his death on 8 March 1737 he was living at Penns Neck, Salem County, New Jersey.⁽⁶⁴⁾ In his will he names all of his children except for the first one shown in the Rudman census.

vi. Susannah Friend/Frände was born circa 1670. Her name first appears in the Chester Court records in October 1690 when, as Susannah Friend, she was indicted for alleged perjury to the grand jury.⁽⁶⁵⁾ She married Enoch Enochson, circa 1694. Their eldest child, Gabriel Enochson, was born 25 February 1695.⁽⁶⁶⁾

vii. Sarah Friend/Frände was born circa 1672. She was old enough to be sued for slander in December 1690. Between 1697 and 1700, she was married to Amos Nicholas or Nichols, a silversmith. He was probably the son of Amos Nicholls of London, distiller, who purchased a warrant for 250 acres of land in Pennsylvania from William Penn on 10-11 October 1681.⁽⁶⁷⁾ In the later 1680's Amos Nicholls was shown as a substantial landowner at St. George Creek in New Castle County,⁽⁶⁸⁾ and in 1690 as the original purchaser of a 49-foot lot in the city of Philadelphia.⁽⁶⁹⁾ On 12 March 1699/1700, Amos Nichols of Ridley Twp., Chester County, silversmith, was indicted with Andrew Nilsson Friend of New Castle County by the Chester County Court for an alleged highway robbery at Martcus Hook on 2 January 1699/1700. In addition, Amos Nicholes was indicted for writing a paper of forgery. Posting bond for the defendants were John Cock, Enoch Enochson, Gabriel Nilsson Friend and Amos Nicholes himself.⁽⁷⁰⁾ At the trial on 11 June 1700, both Amos Nicholas and Andrew Friend were acquitted of the robbery charge. No one appeared to prosecute the forgery charge. Hence, Amos Nicholas was discharged.⁽⁷¹⁾ On 2 June 1701, Amos Nicholson was presented by the Gloucester County grand jury as a man of ill fame who had lately come to Greenwich Twp. The Court ordered him to post bond for his good behavior or else return to his last residence.⁽⁷²⁾

viii. Gabriel Friend/Frände was born circa 1674. On the 8 June 1697 Gabriel Friend was at least 21 when he was fined 40 shillings by the Chester County Court. His apparent wife was Maria Van Culin or Culen, daughter of John Van Culen of Ridley Twp., and his Swedish wife. This is inferred from the frequency of Culen sponsors at the baptisms of his children at St. Paul's Church. This might also explain the existence of George Friend in Raccoon Church records. The elder John Van Culen gave his plantation to his son George in 1705. Gabriel was the last of the sons of Nils Larsson Frände to leave Ridley Twp. In 1722, his property was valued at 17.⁽⁷³⁾ He was of Ridley Twp., when he filed an affidavit in the Chester County orphans court claiming that his mother died at the age of "106 years and upwards" (an exaggeration), had been incapable of her own maintenance for the last 18-20 years of her life so that Gabriel cared for her to her dying day. In the last three years, she was helpless and bed-ridden and non compis mentis. He therefore asked recovery from his brothers Andrew and John Friend for his expenses. On 7 March 1725/26 John and Lawrence Friend quitclaimed their interest in "Oak Hill" in New Castle County to Gabriel Friend and on 12 May 1727, Gabriel sold his interest in Oak Hill to Charles Springer.⁽⁷⁴⁾ On 22 August 1735, Gabriel Friend of Greenwich Twp., Gloucester County, New Jersey bought from Enoch Enochson and his wife Susannah (Friend) for 300 Pennsylvania money the 665 acre plantation known as "Fishing Place", belonging lately to Wallo Dalbo and now in Gabriel's possession. John and Enoch Enochson Jr., and Richard Longacre witnessed the deed.⁽⁷⁵⁾ On 22 March 1736/7 Gabriel Friend was indicted for petty larceny by the Gloucester County Court. He pleaded not guilty on 14 June 1737 and was found not guilty when tried on 14 May 1738.⁽⁷⁶⁾ As "Gabriel Frenne", he was named a trustee of the Swedish church at Raccoon on 6 February 1744, but resigned this position on 6 August 1745.⁽⁷⁷⁾ On 2 June 1748 Gabriel Friend advertised for sale in the Pennsylvania Gazette a 425 acre plantation "Fishing Place" on Raccoon Creek.⁽⁷⁸⁾ The 28 November 1748 accounting of the estate of John Rumsford of Greenwich Twp., showed a payment to Gabriel Friend.⁽⁷⁹⁾ This is the last discovered reference to his name in Gloucester County, New Jersey. He was not shown in the 1754 census of Raccoon Church, although Peter Stille, formerly of Philadelphia County, who by then owned "Fishing Place", was shown in this census. The Plantation was later sold by Peter Stille's heirs to the Stratton family which built in 1794 a handsome brick mansion known as Stratton Hall, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located on the old King's Highway just north of Swedesboro.⁽⁸⁰⁾ Gabriel Friend appears to have followed his kinsmen to Maryland. The 10 January 1752 inventory of the estate of Charles (Andrew's son) Friend was signed by Gabriel Friend, and Enoch Enochson as next-of-kin.⁽⁸¹⁾ Although Charles Friend had a son named Gabriel Friend, that Gabriel had been described as a minor in Charles' will of 27 February 1750/51.

ix. Lars "Lawrence" Friend/Frände was born circa 1676. He was presumably of age when he was indicted in June 1697 for interfering with the arrest of his sister Barbara Friend. Although, as "Larence Friend" he was taxed on property valued at 31 in Ridley Twp., in 1722,⁽⁸²⁾ he had moved to Penns Neck by that time. Under the name of "Lars Nilsson", he was married at Penns Neck, 18 June 1718 to Sarah Jaquet, the daughter of Paul and Mary Jaquet and granddaughter of Jean Paul Jacquet. In May 1720, Lars Nilsson pledged 10 Shillings to the Swedish Church at Penns Neck and bought a Swedish hymn book.⁽⁸³⁾ He later moved to Gloucester County where, on 27 March 1739, he was sued by Andrew and Charles Friend, executors of the estate of John Friend.⁽⁸⁴⁾ His name then drops from sight until 6 April 1754 when Samuel Shivers was granted letters of Administration on the estate of Lawrence Friend, who had died intestate in Gloucester County, New Jersey.⁽⁸⁵⁾

x. Barbara Friend/Frände was born 1678. She was old enough to be indicted by the Chester county grand jury in 1697. She married Peter Longacre, 10 November 1705, at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church, in Chester, Pennsylvania. He was the son of Anders Petersson Longacre and Magdalena Cock (and therefore a nephew of the six Cock brothers). In the will of Peter's father, Andrew Longacre, dated 10 October 1718, devised to Peter, his eldest son, 60 acres of his 200 acre tract called "Syamensing" in Kingsessing, located north east of Cobbs Creek in Philadelphia County.⁽⁸⁶⁾ However, the 1734 tax list for Philadelphia County showed Peter Longacre taxed for the entire 200 acres.⁽⁸⁷⁾ He died before 24 May 1739 when his widow Barbara (Friend) Longacre and Israel, his eldest son, conveyed 60 acres of "syamensing" to another son, Peter Longacre.⁽⁸⁸⁾
 

81. Anna⁷ Andersson (Anders, #162) married Nils Larsson Friend/Frande (see #80) circa 1656.
 

82. Henry⁷ Andersson Kolman/Coleman, In a telephone conversation with Peter S. Craig, date 20 September 1995, he granted me permission to quote this family from his book "The 1693 Census of The Swedes on The Delaware" giving him full credit. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.F., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016.

Henry Andersson Kolman/Coleman was born in Sweden but of Finnish ancestry, was probably the elder of two children. He married Anna Hendricksson (see #83), daughter of John Hendricksson and Magdalena (--?--). He had gained considerable notoriety in 1669 as the principal accomplice of the "Long Finn," who urged the Swedes and Finns to take up arms against the English. Hendrick was arrested and fined 930 guilders. In 1671 he resided at Carkoen's Hook, Kingsessing, but moved in 1675 with Peter Larsson alias Putcan to a 100 acre tract on the northwest side of Mill (Darby) Creek opposite Carkoen's Hook. He sold his half to Otto Ernest Cock, 21 December 1696. He probably died soon thereafter. In 1693 his wife Anna and his daughter Anna were probably residing in Ammansland with John Hendricksson.

On 3 April 1693, shortly before the church census, "Henry Coleman alias Anderson" had been named executor of the estate of "his brother Lasse Coleman alias Anderson" in Gloucester County.⁽⁸⁹⁾

The only known child of Henry⁷ Coleman and Anna Hendricksson (see #83) was:

41. i. Anna⁶ Coleman. married Johannes "John" Nilsson Frande/Friend I (see #40), son of Nils Larsson Friend/Frande and Anna Andersson.on, circa 1696. Anna Friend, apparently died 11 August 1739.⁽⁹⁰⁾

83. Anna⁷ Hendricksson (John, #166) married Henry Coleman (see #82). Anna was still living on 12 September 1703 when she was named in the will of Hendrick Torton.⁽⁹¹⁾
 
 

Generation Eight

162. Anders⁸ Andersson. In a telephone conversation with Peter S. Craig, date 20 September 1995, he granted me permission to quote this family from his book "The 1693 Census of The Swedes on The Delaware" giving him full credit. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.F., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016.

Anders Andersson married Christina Goolbrant (see #163). In a telephone conversation with Peter S. Craig, date 20 September 1995, he granted me permission to quote this family from his book "The 1693 Census of The Swedes on The Delaware" giving him full credit. Dr. Peter S. Craig, F.A.S.F., 3406 Macomb St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016.

This family were members of the crane hook Congregation Church. Anders Andersson, better known as Anders the Finn, was sent to New Sweden from the fortress of Älvsborg in 1642/43 as a punishment. After becoming a freeman, Anders the Finn encountered difficulties with Governor Printz. Anders and his fellow freemen included in their 1653 petition the prayer that Anders the Finn be allowed "to keep the woods that the Lord Governor has judged him in forfeit of so that his wife and children may not starve to death." Printz countered by claiming it was a "legal judgment," but in a second bill of particulars, presented to Governor Rising in 1654 (again signed by Anders), the freemen stated: "As concerns the rye of Anders the Finn, we have considered his great poverty, and we went to the provost marshall Gregorius Van Dyck and asked him to go to the Governor to ask him to be a little lenient with Anders the Finn, as he would become completely impoverished by this. The Governor, however, made this out as a mutiny, which in truth can never be proven." In 1656, Anders the Finn was accused of stealing grain from the field of Pål Jönsson Mullica's wife. Anders was residing in Upland in 1661/63 when he again was involved in litigation, first as the landlord of Jacob Jongh at the time the latter eloped with Lars Lock's first wife in 1661, and then again in 1663 when he complained that Evert Hendricksson the Finn "daily commits acts of insolence before his, the deponent's, door by beating, shooting and other disorderly acts, and if nothing is done about it, he will have to leave the village in order to live in peace." Dr. Timen Stiddem confirmed his testimony, and others testified that Anders' wife did daily meet Evert the Finn in secrecy at Pål Petersson's house. Soon thereafter, Anders the Finn removed his wife and family to Deer Point, which he owned in common with Sinnick Broer and Walraven Jansen DeVos on a creek west of Christina that would soon be known as Anders the Finn's Creek, now known as Little Mill Creek. He was at this location by 19 January 1667/8 and received his own patent on 1 September 1669. A month later another patent was issurd, to Anders Andersson and 19 of his associates, to erect a mill on Anders the Finn's Creek. In 1670 he sent a note (also signed by his son Justa Andersson) warning of the approach of 25 Indians who threatened to attack the English at New Castle. The last discovered reference to Anders was a deed executed on 1 September 1673 by Anders Andersson and his wife Christina Goolbrant conveying their one third of the Deer Point plantation to their two sons, Justa Andersson and John Andersson. Anders also had daughters Anna (married to Nils Larsson Friend, and Brita(married to Olle Rawson).⁽⁹²⁾
