Best I can do to explain it.

By 1668 Nils had adopted the surname of Frände, meaning "kinsman" in Swedish. Once the English became dominant, this name was anglicized to "Friend".

@Polly GEDmatch kid #TA7057982, I deleted my previous response to you. I didn't realize you were speaking about Anna Andersdotter, but my head was on Anna Friend, the daughter of Joseph Friend, whose parents I have been unable to track down. It's that Anna, whose children I'm having a hard time finding sources for. My cheeks are flaming red in my embarrassments. Do forgive me.
