I'm sure you know this already, but it may be of interest to others; Nils original name was simply Nils Larsson, but after his arrival in 1648 (aboard the Swan), he adopted the name Frande, meaning "kinsman" or blood relative, inSwedish. In 1668 he was granted a permit by the NJ governor to buy West Jersey lands from the Indians. His own residence at the time was at Upland, where he lived till his death in Dec of 1686. His house was the usual meeting of the Upland court. He was survived by his wife Anna, dau of Anders Andersson the Finn, and 10 children, including Brigitta, married to John Cock; Anders; Catharine married to Olof Dalbo; Maria married to Gabriel Cock. His 6 younger children lifed with their mother at the time of the 1693 census. His children used the pa\tronymic Nilsson and the surname interchangeably. Ultimately, Friend became the family name. Nils widow and her eldest sons sold the Upland property and moved to Crum Creek. At the tie of the census, Anna's household included her 6 youngest children; John b c 1666; Susannah c 1670; Sarah 1672; Gabriel c 1674 alone staying home to care for his aged mother, who was bed-ridden during the lans 18-2- years of her life. Aneers Nilsson Frande ....up till 193 and for a period thereafter, Anders split his time between Chester Co and West Jersey, where he was taxed for 200 acres in Andres Robeson's "New Stockholm" tract in 1687. This West Jersey association plus the name given to his eldest surviving son, Israel, suggests that his first wife was a dau of Israel Helm. By 1697, Anders had moved to New Castle Co. In 1710 he was living at North East, Cecil County, Md, and in 1740 he was living with his son Israel Friend near Harper's Ferry, VA. His children, aside from Israel, included Charles, Rebecca and Maria. In 1724 his wife was named Isabel. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Thompson" <Patty125@adelphia.net> To: <PA-OLD-CHESTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 11, 2006 9:12 PM Subject: [PaOldC] FRIEND >I am not looking for any ancestors but I would like to connect to those > descendants of the FRIEND line. > > This is what I have (not all has been proven by myself). > > Descendants of Nils Larsson Friend > > 1 Nils Larsson Friend b: 1619 d: Bet.
