 CoNYNGHA3i's Statement, "Isaac Le Fevre was born in 1669, 

 and in 1686, came to Philadelphia from Esopus. He married 

 Catharine soon after her arrival." He was but a youth when 

 he left his ^a^s na^«Z, Fatherland. Mr. C. in an eloquent ad- 

 dress on the Early Settlement of the Valley of Peqiiea, delivered 

 July 4, 1842, speaking of the Ferree family, says : "And notd 

 let me turn your attention to a youth of fourteen : his parents 

 had perished in the religious wars which had desolated France 

 — an orphan — friendless — he travelled through Holland — went 

 to London — came to Kensington where he mad^ known his in- 

 tentions to AVilliam Penn. Alone '? oh no ! he had one com- 

 panion — it was his consolator in Europe — it was his comforter 

 in Pennsylvania — that companion was his Bible. That young 

 lad was Isaac Le Fevre. That Bible is still preserved by the 

 family of Le Fevres as a most precious relic."'
