[Kathleen Fitzgerald]
First white settler to the Garrett Co., MD, area. (His original settlement being the site of present day Friendsville, MD)
". . . In 1764, a year after peace was formally established, following Pontiac's uprising, a white man named John Friend walked up the mountains from the Potomac River on the trail of a fur trader which followed a buffalo trace. He crossed the crest of the Alleghenies, then descended to the sole Indian village of the area on the Youghiogheny. Here he bought land. He traded an iron pot for several cornfields and a few rough dwellings. Then he returned to the Potomac. A year later he came back. He settled on the land. (Now Friendsville)...." --Garrett County, a History of Maryland's Tableland by Stephen Schlosnagle
