I descend from Col Jacob Ferree (b. 17 Mar 1798, Allegany Co., PA. d: 9 July 1863 at the Battle of Corydon, Harrison Co.). Col. Jacob Ferree was married to Rachel Carroll (b: 11 June 1800, Allegeny Co, PA. d: 28 July 1869. Both, along with their children are buried at the Ferree Cemetery (abt. 3 miles east of Laconia. Col Jacob Ferree is the son of Joel Ferree (b: 8 Aug 1753, Lancaster Co, PA. d: 24 Jan 1820, Lancaster Co., PA). Joel was married to Christena Kukendall, daughter of Benjamin. Joel Ferree was the son of Joel Ferree (b. 13 Feb 1731-31 Lancaster Co., PA. d: 19 Jan 1801, Allegany Co, PA). Joel, the father was married to Mary Copeland (he had several wifes). Joel is the son of Philip Ferree (b. 1686, France, d: July 1753 Lancaster ). Philip married Leah DuBois ((b: 10 Oct 1687, New Paltz, Ulster Co, NY., d: 12 Sept 1758, Lancaster Co, PA). Philip is the son of Daniel Ferree (b. abt 1647 France). Daniel married Maria De La Worrembuer (b. 1653 France). Maria is als! o known a Madam Ferree. They left France and went into Germany and had to flee because religous persecution. Anyway William Penn assisted the Ferree's passage. All the Ferree's descend from Daniel and Maria. This Ferree family is very well known in Paradise, Lancaster Co., PA. I also know there was a Spencer Ferree and James Ferree in Harrison County. I believe they are cousins to Col. Jacob Ferree.
