I found a Rebecca Friend in the 1870 Missouri, Scott Co Census. She is 81 years old , and born in VA. She can read and write. Moreland Twp, page 40, Line 26, Dwelling 264, Family 265 Friend, Rebecca, 81, F, 1000, 300, Virginia Friend, Mary, 15, F, Missouri Friend, Elvira, 13, F, Iowa Friend, Charles F, 9, M, Iowa Gilbert Morgan, 25, M, Farmhand, Iowa There are other Friends (heads of house) in the same county, but they are born in TN, MO, and OH. Of course, there are other Frinds in the state, but also born all over, except a William born VA in Shelby Co. Pat, let me know if you need some help on these. -------Original Message------- From: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 06:23:11 To: MDGARRET-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MDGARRET] TUHILL - FRIEND - HASKILL 1880 census - the only Rebecca Friend is married and 62 years old. ----- Bonnie, I think this Rebecca Friend (above) is probably the wife of Stephen Willis Friend. the marriage record (below) is for the parents of James O.

I have a Rebecca Friend, born 17 Oct. 1805, to Elizabeth Ward and John L. Friend. This Rebecca, b. 1805, (I have Oct. 17, 1806) married John Johnson. I don't have children for this marriage but they would have been named Johnson. The Rebecca Friend who married James O. Tuhill was supposed to have been born about 1862. Thanks everyone for the help. Some more pieces of the puzzle are being found, and hopefully we will eventually identify Rebecca.

I found a Rebecca Friend in the 1870 Missouri, Scott Co Census. --------- Bonnie, I need to find a Rebecca Friend who was born about 1862. Somehow, later, she is said to be the daughter of Henry Haskell. Henry married twice, (1) Lizzie SHAFFER (2) Mary Elizabeth Spence. Rebecca must have been the daughter of Lizzie Shaffer and Lizzie must have married a Friend, prior to her marriage to Henry Haskell. Rebecca was known to her descendants as Rebecca Friend (as shown in the bio for her husband James Tuhill) but they can't find her connection to a Friend family. I am trying to help them find Rebecca's parents. Henry Haskell is in the 1880 Garrett County MD census (age 60) and he is married to Elizabeth. There is a Rebecca listed in his HH (age 18) but there is also a Rebecca Haskill (age 18) listed as working for George W. Legge, in Oakland. I think Rebecca was counted twice, once in the Legge HH and then her parents gave her information when their HH was counted. There is a four year gap between Rebecca and the next child in the family (Charles Haskill) but after Charles the children are like stair steps, so I am wondering if it wasn't during those four years (1862 to 1866) that Henry's first wife must have died and Henry remarried? Thanks for the look-ups Bonnie, hopefully we can solve this puzzle. Pat-T
