While speaking of the family of Ferrees, it will not 

 be out of place to direct tlie attention of the reader to 

 two other documents ; one is an inventory of goods and 

 ciiattels of a farm of the early times, being the list of 

 appraisement of the personal property of Andrew 

 Ferree, the same person who is mentioned as the eldest 

 son of Daniel, the first ssttler. It shows the prices of 

 ai'ticles at that time. The reader will find in it plenty of 

 all the useful and necessary food, and implements, of a 

 farmer ; but will seek in vain for the fine furniture of 

 the present day.* The other document is the marriage
