Note: William Friend was born in about 1838. Michael and Minerva did not get married until June 1841. Perhaps Michael was married to someone else when William was born. That would make Minerva Michael's second wife. Still researching. Some family members wonder if William was a brother to Michael instead of a son. 1860 Census Hittle Township, Tazewell County, Illinois shows a William Friend, born in Ohio age 25, living with the David Hainlane family.
