General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Ferrier


This a very old family whose ancestors may have accompanied William the Conqueror from Normandy into England, as the names Ferers and Fererers, probably variants of Ferrers and Ferrier, appear on the Bromton and Leland lists, as shown in Augustin Thierry's "Norman Conquest of England." Since crossing the Channel the Ferrier name has been well established in England, Scotland, and Ireland; but not all the Ferriers were or are of Great Britain. The record of the English church at Leyden shows that Samuel Ferrier, of Caen, Normandy, married Mildreth Charles, May 16, 1614; and he is named in Drake's "Founders of New England" as a passenger to America. It is therefore likely that he has now many American descendants. 1
