Biography

Moses Friend (1806-1876)

Upon the crown of the island, between Deep Cove and the old mill site on the east side, was the farm and building of the late Moses Friend, to be seen clearly from the main land. Mr. Friend came to that place from Sedgwick, where he was born. He was a descendant of Benjamin Friend Sr, the first of the name to settle upon the Neck. Just how many years Mr. Friend resided on Long Island there is no data to determine, but it was for a number of years. The buildings he occupied have long since gone and the fields he mowed and cultivated have gone back to a state of nature, leaving little or nothing to remind one of their former existence.^[1]
