Family:Isaac Ferree and Mary Copeland (1)

.

The Mary Copeland born in Braintree in 1732/33 had parents Thomas and Susanna Copeland of Braintree. The parents were of Braintree from marriage until at least 1773 when they both signed a deed. There is little chance their daughter married a man who was born and lived in Pennsylvania, unless the marriage occurred in Braintree, which seems to have no record of it. There is a marriage of Mary Copeland of Braintree to Elijah Burney of Weymouth in 1752. Therefore, the Mary Copeland of Braintree has been removed as a wife.

In addition, besides the mismatched wife, the whole premise of this page seems incorrect. Source:Jordan, John W. Genealogical and Personal History of Western Pennsylvania p. 1:371, Mary Copeland married Joel Ferree, not Isaac. While it is not documented and of unknown quality, this is more sources that have been given to support this marriage. Then, add Source:Heidgerd, William. American Descendants of Chrétien Du Bois of Wicres, France, another sources that says it was Joel Ferree who had a wife named Mary Copeland. Also, several DAR-type of sources.
