Facts and Events
Heisterkamp's Annotated Landis Ferree Tree (as of 30 April 2004) The Pennsylvania-German, Vol. XI, No. 2, February, 1910 - A Carpenter Family of Lancaster by A. Y. Casanova, Philipsburg, Pa. Barbara Carpenter of Leacock township, born in 1738, married Jacob Ferree, a son of Philip Ferree and Leah Dubois. The Ferree and Dubois families were of French extraction and very prominent in the pioneer annals of Pennsylvania and New York; their interesting history was been told in detail by Professor Baird in his "Huguenots in America," and by Dr. Stapleton, of York in his "Memorials of the Huguenots," which are works of incalculable value to the students of the colonial period. Barbara's children were Emanuel Ferree, Susannah wife of James Boyd, and Elizabeth wife of John Gibboney. Jacob Ferree died intestate about the year 1783, and his first wife died several years before him. He seems to have married a second time, but the second wife, Mary, had no children. John and Elizabeth Gibboney were the ancestors of the Gibboneys of Bedford County, Blair and Mifflin counties, and of the Hoops of Centre county, who held many municipal and county offices in their respective localities. One of their descendants, Dr. G. F. Hoop, was surgeon of the 84th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, one of the incorporators of the thriving borough of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and was the great grandfather of A. Y. Casanova Jr., son the writer of this article. References
