Read More	Birth: September 3, 1796 Friend's Delight Sang Run, Allegany (now Garrett), Maryland Death: September 25, 1796 Friend's Delight Sang Run, Allegany (now Garrett), Maryland Twin daughter of John Friend, Jr. and Elizabeth Ward Friend. Soon after their marriage on February 14, 1795, John Friend, Jr. and Elizabeth Ward Friend settled at Friend's Delight. The first born of their thirteen children were twins named Leah and Rachel, born on September 3, 1796. The twins died in infancy, but it is not clear when and how they died. One account has them dying in childbirth while another one has them dying in a house fire in 1797. However, a more accurate record of when they died is recorded in the Bible belonging to David Harrison Friend, the youngest son of John Friend, Jr. and Elizabeth Ward Friend. According to this record, Leah died soon after birth on September 25, 1796 and Rachel died six months later on March 14, 1797. According to Friend family legend and oral history, the twins were probably the first to be buried on the hill above the original John Friend, Jr. house and that has since become the "Upper" Sang Run Cemetery. There are no grave markers for the twin girls. (Ronn E.Friend, 3X great grandson of John Friend, Jr.)
