Information from Ron Buchanan, Buchanan of Essex, Ontario, Canada, RootsWeb WorldConnect Project.

Commemorative Biographical Record of the County of Essex, J. H. Beers & Co., Toronto, 1905, p. 538-539:
Abner L. Ferriss, vice-president of the South Essex Agricultural Society, is a member of one of the first families to settle in the township of Colchester, County Essex.
     Joseph Ferriss, his grandfather, was a resident of Kentucky, and there married Christina Hahn, a German girl who had been taken prisoner by the Indians from her home in Pennsylvania. Mr. Ferriss came with his bride to Canada, and they settled on the lake front in Colchester South township, but after a few years returned to Kentucky. A short time later they once more came to Colchester township and settled on the 2d Concession, on Lot 12, where he died at the age of sixty years, and was buried on his farm. After a number of years his widow, who had bravely passed through many hardships, followed him to the tomb, and her remains also lie on the old farm. To Joseph and Christina (Hahn) Ferriss were born children as follows: John, who resided in Colchester South township, where his descendents now live; Isaac, father of Abner L.; Margaret, who married Gordon Buchanan, of the township of Colchester South; Mary, who never married, and died in Pennsylvania; and Esther, who married Arthur Lidwell and moved to Pennsylvania.
