Notes for Daniel Fuehre:
SOURCE: The Pennsylvania LeFevres by George Newton LeFevre, page 4.
Daniel Fuehre was a Huguenot and wealthy silk manufacturer. They lived in Landau, France along the Rhine River and had 6 children. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 the family fled to Strasburg. While there they were joined by Isaac LeFevre, a lad of 16. They later fled on into Bavaria, Germany. While living in Bavaria Isaac LeFevre married Catherine Ferree. After Daniel died, he wife assumed her maiden name for safety.

In the late 1600's the Catholic Church decreed that only given names from the New Testament could be used. Daniel was the RC birth name, John was the Huguenot name after conversion. He was a prosperous silk manufacturer. Daniel died while the family lived in Strasbourg. Details of his death are lacking- one report says he was slain during the insurrection in France following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. He may have died before 1708, Lindau, Bavaria.
SOURCE:
Concerning Daniel's death: "Early in the year 1708, Madam FERREE with her children and daughter-in-law made plans to leave for the "Island of' Pennsylvania and obtained a passport dated 10 march 1708. She was a widow. Her husband, Daniel, aka John, had died while they lived in Strasbourg. Details of his death are lacking, but one report says that he was lost at sea. We wonder under what circumstances. had he attempted to go to American earlier to join his friends? We do not know.
Another report referring to the husband as John, says he 'was among those slain during the insurrection in France There were insurrections by the Huguenots following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Which report could be correct? Could both be correct? The abridged compendium of American Genealogy says he died in exile."
