According to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Vital Records, 1750-2014 for Leah Ferree, Leah was the ninth child of Philip and Leah DuBois Ferree. The eight child was Joel, born in 1730, so it is likely Leah was born sometime after 1730. Leah was born in Pennsylvania. Her father's will (Philip Ferree) probated in 1753 refers to Leah as being unmarried, and threatens to disinherit her if she marries a certain man that he named, so at the time of his death, Leah would have been of marrying age. It is unlikely she had any children prior to 1754 at the earliest. Also, according to According to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Mennonite Vital Records, 1750-2014 for Leah Ferree, she was married to Peter Baker, Jr. Leah and Peter are buried side by side in Carpenters Cemetery, close to Jacob Baker and Daniel and Isaac Baker. These were most likely their sons. By some accounts, they had another son, Joel, who was lost to the Indians.
