Built a two-story log house with the assistance of his father, located one mile north of Strasburg, Pa., on the tract which was to be in his inheritance at the time of his father's death. But dying in 1735 before it's completion, his father finished the building, and thus its remains are the only tangible work left of Isaac LeFevre.

It is believed that Abraham is the first to be buried in the LeFevre Cemetery but there is no marker to that effect. It contains the remains of 6 generations of LeFevre's, located a quarter mile from the big brick house built by Isaac's great grandson George LeFevre.

11. JOSEPH⁴ FERREE (DANIEL³, DANIEL², JEAN¹ LA VERREE) was born 1712 in Paradise or Pequa Valley, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and died Aft. 1789. He married SARAH DELAPLAINE, daughter of JAMES DELAPLAINE and ELIZABETH SHOEMAKER. She was born Abt. 1729 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Notes for JOSEPH FERREE:
SOURCE: "The Story of The Ferree Family" Page 7.1-3

The Revolutionary War came 68 years after the family arrived in America there were some of the grandchildren of Mary Ferree still alive. One of the most prominent was Joseph, son of Daniel. He was born in 1712, the year the family arrived at the Pequea. In 1774 he was a member of the Lancaster County Committee to consider the general dissatisfaction of the British Government.

While Joseph Ferree, Esquire, was a member of this Committee of Correspondence for Lancaster. they composed and sent a declaration of their grievances to the committee in Philadelphia.

Joseph Ferree and his wife, Sarah, nee De la Plaine, must have made their home in Lancaster County and in Germantown. He was elected to the Pennsylvania Assembly in 1770 and reelected several more times (1771, 1772, 1773, & 1774). He was also a member of the five man Germantown commitee of safety. Om March 28, 1776 the committee issued a notice against profiteering merchants. In May of the same year, Ferree's house was designated a storehouse for salt and saltpeter (potassium-nitrate) used in the making of gunpowder. Sulphur was also collected, stored and issued fm h home. On July 4, 1776, immediately after the Declaration of Independence, the committee of safety appointed Joseph Ferree and two others to collect lead window weights and clock weights and other lead which could be used to make bullets. They were authorized to pay six pence per pound. This was also stored in Joseph Ferree's house.

Joseph had a good sized house which he purchased from his father-in-law, James De la Plaine, the son of a French Huguenot who came to America in 1657. It was on three acres of land on upper end of Market Square in Germantown at the corner of Main Street. This is apparently between Church and Schoolhouse Lanes. It was later divided into three stores. In 1885 it was torn down and repkaced by the Mutual Insurance Building.

When Germantown was being considered the capital of the country in 1789, Joseph Ferree, as a member of the Trustees of the German Academy, with four others of the board, met with President George Washington and offered to rent the academy building for $300 per session. The offer was finally declined, because the buildings were considered too small and there were not adequate local living accomodations for all the Congress members.

Joseph Ferree is listed as one of the 800 prisoners of war held on the prison ship "Old Jersey", but there is no record of what became of them.

SARAH DELAPLAIN4, married Joseph Ferree, son of Andrew Ferree and Mary Reed, of Strasburg, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and grandson of Madame Mary Ferree, the French Huguenot, who settled in the Pequea Valley, Lancaster County, in 1712. Joseph Ferree was living in Germantown 1770-1795; he was Justice of the Peace, and was United States store-keeper for military supplies. On the 31st of July, 1776, the Council of Safety "desired Joseph Ferree to deliver to John Mitchell, Commissioner for victualling the Navy, twenty five bushels of salt, out of the store at Germantown." On the 1st of August, 1776, an order was issued for more salt, and to deliver to Henry Huber "one ton of saltpeter." On the 8th of July it was resolved that Dr. Charles Bensel, Joseph Ferree, and Leonard Stoneburner "be appointed to collect all the leaden window-weights, clock-weights, and other lead in Germantown and its neighborhood, for which the liberal price of six pence per pound will be allowed, and they are authorized to draw on this Board for the same."(+) Joseph and Sarah Ferree appear to have had but one child, Daniel, who died young.

Something of interest to FERREE researchers--from the book "History of the Slaymaker Family", by H. Slaymaker, pub. by Lancaster Press, Lancaster, PA, revised 1969, pg. 149:

"Susannah Slaymaker, widow of Mathias Slaymaker (merchant) late of the City of Philadelphia, renounced, released, and quit claimed, all her rights and titles to her two brothers-in-law, Isaac Ferree and William Slaymaker, both of Strasburg Township, dated 11th November 1797. Our research uncovered this Ferree family in the Orphan's Court records of Lancaster County, 1786 and 1787. Isaac Ferree of Strasburg Township, died intestate; widow, Susanna Ferree, and 13 children; Isaac (eldest son), Thomas, Joel, Elisha, John, and Ephraim; single daughters, Lydia, Catharine, Sarah, and Rebecca; and married daughters, Elizabeth m. Benjamin Bowman, Mary m. Isaac Ferree, and Susanna m. Mathias Slaymaker. Elisha Ferree was married to the sister of Mathias, as records of the Ferree and/or Carpenter cemetery shows;

Elisha, son of Isaac Ferree, died 1832, aged 64 years Margaret Slaymaker, wife of Elisha Ferree, died 1847, aged 79 years"
