From information taken from the Friends Family Association of America in Friendsviile Md and the Book Indian Blood by Evelyn Gard Olson and the papers of Peter Craig,also the papers of Marian S Johnson dated August 1977, we have learned the following.
By now it is indisputable that Nicholas Friend and Neals Larsson were one and the same man.At least 10 docuements,dating from 1668 until after his death,call him Neals Larsson Friend ,(using an almost infinite variety of spellings.)His will was signed as Neles Larson with his mark,but the inventory of his estate calls him "Neals Lawsa als(alias) ffriend.The use of the term "alias" which led Mr Gibson to suspect that there was something shady about the man,was common at that time and place.It simply meant "otherwise known as".The inventory states that he was "late of Chester alias Upland."What then can we state positively about Him ?
He was born 1619.He still was not over sixty in Nov 1680 when he appeared on a tax roll listing all males between 16 and 60.
