Removed the info that Sarah Lord was daughter of Jeremiah Lord from the bio because it was incorrect. According to DAR, she married William Davis rather than Samuel Friend. FindAGrave headstone also shows a different birthdate for Sarah Lord (not the daughter of Jeremiah Lord) than the birthdate for Sarah Lord, daughter of Jeremiah.

Rowles-314 Darryl Rowles
Friend-1810 and Friend-1482 appear to represent the same person because: Samuel's birth date was recorded in both Sedgwick and Blue Hill records but was likely born elsewhere. He probably did not die in the Sedgwick Rural Cemetery.
