MyFamily.com, 8 March 2005, Nancy Johnson Philip Ferree, the son of John Ferree and Mary Musgrave, grandson of Madam Ferree was born in Maryland in 1722. He married Sarah Evans and had nine children. Children of Philip and Sarah Evans Ferree: William Ferree Patrick Ferree Daniel Ferree Joel Ferree Philip Ferree Isaac Ferree born 1769 died 1824 married Fannie Dawson John Ferree born 1761 died 1839 married Rebecca Marsh Mary Ferree Sarah Ferree At some point the family relocated to Bracken County, Kentucky. It is known that two of his sons, John and Isaac settled in Clermont County, Ohio around 1809-1810. It is not known if this was before or after their father's death. There is a story regarding Philip's daughter, Mary Ann (found in a book about the Bucher/Booker Family. Page 3 gives an account of the "Life of Mary Ann Ferree".) . . . .When Mary's father, (Philip Ferree) died the family was left penniless orphans, and were farmed out to different relatives. Winnifred Markee Miles tells the story of her, mother, Mary Ann Ferree. The story goes . . ."Aunt Betsy (Trimble) Booker was a sister of mother's mother. She lived in Shakertown and was a tailoress. Her daughters were married and Aunt Betsy asked mother to make her home with her. Mother was a young, strong, capable woman. Aunt Betsy was busy at tailoring and it was extremely good judgement on her part to invite so capable a niece to become a member of her family; perhaps she was no more selfish than the others; I am sure they all lived hard, plodding lives, but Aunt Betsy made a drudge of mother. The truth must be told. John Booker was so stingy that he let her carry the fuel and water up long flights of stairs; there was an unmarried son at home, and these men slept while mother made early morning fires. Mother finally was stricken with a serious illness. Aunt Betsy nursed her, but mother by this time decided to try her fortunes elsewhere." References
