Coulson's Company, Washington County, Maryland, Militia I had to create a new memorial because old disproved information just would not go away (the older it is the more it is repeated). John Friend (Sr.) was never know as "Old John," except in "Indian Blood" by Olsen in 1968. In that she speculated he might be the son of a mother last named Lewis. That was disproved over a decade ago. But, is the origin of the supposed middle name Lewis. His death was in Allegany County which was created from Washington County, Maryland in 1789. Garrett County was not created until 1872. I've been there and photographed the roadside historical marker, it is not accurate, but the claims made on that marker will continue to be repeated forever. A government memorial was erected to him in this cemetery, but there is no extant record or marker as to his actual burial place. The last known record of him was a deed dated 1 Jun 1808 and recorded 5 Jul 1808. He presumably died between that date and 1810. There is no extant record of his death. His date of birth is about 1728, not 1732, based on his petition in the Frederick County, Maryland, Order Book (3:210)
