Daniel Ferree married Marie (Mary) Warrembere about 1675. Daniel Ferree, Jr. was born about 1677. Catherine Ferree Lefevre was born about 1679. Jane Ferree Davis was born between 1682 and 1687 . Documents from the archives in Speyer show that Daniel and Maria purchased goods in Steinweiler 0n September 12, 1681 for 100 gulden. On November 17, 1681 they sold three cottages in Steinweiler to Pierre LeGrain. Marie (Mary) Catherine Ferree Faulkner was born about 1683. Philip Ferree was born in 1687. John Ferree was born about 1688. About 1705 Mary Catherine married Isaac LeFevre. Their son Abraham LeFevre, was born on April 9, 1706. Daniel died in 1708. In March, 1708 the family received permission to leave Steinweiler from the local authorities. The family was granted passage to emigrate from Steinweiler via Holland and England to the "island of Pennsylvania." They also received a certificate from the French Reformed Church at Pelican that was a "testimonial of their life and religion." The two married couples went on to America before Mary and the single children. Daniel and Isaac's families appeared on June 28, 1708 list of the fifty-three people who sailed with Joshua Kocherthal's party. Daniel and Isaac were both called farmers. Mary did not arrive in England until 1709 when she appeared on "A list of all the poor Germans lately come over from the Palatinate into this Kingdom, taken in St. Katharine's, the Sixth May 1709." They went to the Hueguenot settlement at Esopus, New York where they had relatives. They lived in New Paltz. The surveyor's book from Chester County, Pennsylvania (page 33) shows that Mary had 2,000 acres. They stayed in New York until spring, 1712 while their Pennsylvania land was being surveyed. The Ferree-Lefever land was near Strasburg.
Mary was a party to this transaction, and that the two parties named in the instrument merely held the tract
The old Ferree family graveyard was laid out and walled at a very early date in the northwest corner of the tract. Mary was probably the first to be buried in that graveyard. She died about January, 1716.
