This woman has several possible spellings of her name. The most popular is Ferebee Fanning. The daughter of Col. Fanning, to be sure. As the surname "Ferebee" is an old Norfolk, VA famil name, I suspect she never was a "Phebe", but rather, her given name was that of this surname. Some accounts have her marrying Peter Hanselpiker and living in NB, but, having children in NS. These often show Peter as born in Germany, yet this is HIGHLY unlikely. Though Phebe/Ferebee may have been BORN in NB, her married life was spent with Peter in Nova Scotia. The possibility of her Peter being of the NB or NS line, is possibly one for debate. Though, by most accounts, Peter of NB was son to Phillip, and born in 1774, whereas son of Conrad was born between 1780-1790, so a much more likely possibility. Also, considering the life in Nova Scotia, more likely Conrad's than Philip's son married Phebe/Ferebee Finning/Fanning. Also seen as Farreby.
6-Jul-1877, was date of Ferebee's will. Whether that was the date written or the date proven, is yet to be determined. Suffice it to say, she does not appear in the 1881 Census.
1992 inventory of gravemarkers in Digby County, shows "Ferrabah" as being buried in Forest Hill/Trinity Cemetery, rather than the Broad Cove Cemetery, as indicated in this record. Need to verify correct resting place.
She appears in the LDS' IGI, mother of John Simeon Handspiker, as Phebe Van Tassell Fanning.

Arthur and Bertha are listed as possibly being a half brother and sister to the rest of this family.
Arthur WAS born a Hersey, but MAY have been adopted by William Edgar Handspiker, at some point in time. Not sure about Bertha or Annie.
If this is the Arthur Handspiker who married Flossie, they had son Robert, who married Wanda, and had daughter Kimberly Ann, who married Charles Andrew Williams. Another daughter for Robert, son of Flossie and an Arthur was Sherrie. Robert had a sister or sister-in-law named Wendy.
However, if this is the Arthur HERSEY who married Vesta VanTassel, then they had a daughter, Bessie Hersey, who married Sydney Stark and had: Carl, Dorothy and Ellen Louise (who maried Wm. Bruce Thorne in Sep-1966)
A Doris Morris, shows his birthdate as 22-Mar-1883, other data same.
