General Notes: Husband - William Powell Ferree

---

He was born on Peters Creek, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and was but four years old when his parents moved to the old farm at Coraopolis, where he lived and died. He inherited one hundred acres of land from his father and to this tract he added two hundred and twenty-five acres, purchased in small lots as they appeared for sale. He was a surveyor by profession and performed a great deal of work of that nature in all parts of Allegheny County. In politics he was a Whig, later an Abolitionist and afterward a Republican. On the slavery question he held opinions and views of the most decided nature, and his home was an important and busy station on the "Underground Railroad" that was so strong an institution in ante-bellum days. He supported his convictions with his life, enlisting in the Union army and being killed in battle in 1863. His religion was the Presbyterian.
