My London Huguenots are

Daniel FERREE b. 10 Mar 1647, Normandy Province, FRANCE; 1650, France,
Forchamps, Lower Normandy d. 1708, Lindau, BAVARIA Occupation a silk weaver
by trade and Daniel Ferree was born on 10 Mar 1646 in Steinweiler,
(Palatinate) area of Bittingheim, Germany. NOTES: Birth place varies in
records. He was born in Normandy, France or possibly later at Steinweiler or
Linden, Bavaria (Germany). m'd 1675 Mary WARENBUER (Madam Marie De La
Warembur) b. 1653, Picardy, FRANCE d. 1716, Conestoga, Lancaster Co, PA

"The first distinctively Huguenot colony to come to Pennsylvania was that of
Madame Ferree, for whom a large body of land was surveyed in Lancaster
county in 1710. Her party came with many others under the leadership of Rev.
Joshua Kocherthal (1) landing in New York in 1709. Most of these, after a
brief stay in Ulster county, came to Pennsylvania. Madame Ferree, with her
family, including her son John and son-in-law, Isaac Lefever, with their
families, came to Pequea. Hubert Hubertson came to the Schuylkill Valley,
PA. as early as 1709 (2) while Isaac de Turk and others went to Oley in
1712. Both places immediately became centers of emigration."

Death of Madame Ferree

Not long after her arrival in Pequea Madame Ferree vested in the care of
trustees a plot of ground as a burial place for the settlement. This place,
now known as Carpenter's Graveyard, is situated near Paradise. Here this
noble woman, who had drank so deeply from the cup of misfortune, found a
peaceful grave in 1716. She had accomplished her purpose to establish a new
home for her posterity, many of whom are slumbering by her side. Her
influence still lives in the great multitude of her descendants who belong
to the aristocracy of personal worth. Her descendants, including of course,
the LeFevers, are thousands in number and are to be found in many States of
the Union.
