NOTE: page numbers located at bottom of page.] [Other notes added in brackets by Joe Patterson 2008 based on census and research of Lee Friaglia 1960-1990, not available to Clara S. Havely.] ================= The earliest record of our Havely ancestors in Europe, which we have found, is contained in an account given by Mr. Spears Havely, of Richmond, Va., as follows: "Our first ancestor, to come to America, was Michael Havely. The name is Scandinavian, and originally spelled HAAVALAY. He came from Northern Prussia, which at that time was a large part of northern Europe. Two hundred years ago, this Michael Havely was a stone cutter by trade, and to this fact was due his ability to arrange for his rations and transportation from Prussia to Philadelphia, Pa. The Proprietaries of the then Pennsylvania Plantation would pay such expenses and a bounty only on skilled workmen or tradesmen needed to develop and build up the settlement. So it was that Michael Havely was enabled by signing up and bonding himself for the five year indenture at his trade, to change his base and come to Philadelphia. The authorities found employment for him at a near-by place called Sunbury and Northumberland County, Pa. Our records for many incidents in the life of the times depended on the diary and family record kept by Michael's son Jacob, who was born in Sunbury in 1750 and died in 1835. This record, or the last copy of it, was loaned for use in the land suit involving land titles in Pennsylvania, now West Virginia. It was loaned during the war between the states. One incident in the "BOOK" occurred in Northumberland, Pa. Michael found himself in jail, charged with being "all bewitched". He had carried black rock and carefully built himself a small shop, of one room, and one day it caught fire and burned down and Michael was at once put in jail. His neighbors did not know it was coal he had used. So there we have reformers ready, who passed a law against using black rock for the building of houses. Michael Havely lived out his days in Pennsylvania, his son, Jacob, joined the migration to the southwest and we find he married a Miss Sally Hogg (his second wife) in Frederick Co., Virginia. They were not "in society" then, and later changed the spelling to Hoge, which is used now. This Jacob Havely who had the encounter with the Indians, wrote in his book, "They tried to stretch the story". Meaning the incident were [sic] they reported that the Indians had killed him and his family. He said he and his wife were gently scalped and let go. This Jacob Havely later joined the Continental Army and saw service in most of the eastern Colonies - New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. He was at the windup of the Revolutionary War at Yorktown, and cashed in his land warrant in Washington Co., Virginia, soon after the surrender of Cornwallis, about 1785 or 1786. It may have been 1785, for Jacob Havely's son, Isaac, was born near Abington, Virginia on the Havely place in 1785." -1- -- -- -- RECORDS IN THE BUREAU OF CENSUS PENNSYLVANIA ARCHIVES 1790, Manchester township, York Co., Pa., Michael Havely, one head, four males under sixteen, three females. 1790, Frederick Co., Virginia, Jacob Havely, head of a family of three whites.

They named him William Havely. (Died Sept. 30, 1840 at age 60 - this information taken from grave stone of William Havely Sr. in old Howe churchyard, located between Coal Center and Allenport, Washington Co., Pa.) Records in Indian Incursions and Massacres: Previous to the battle of Trough, some depredations on the South Fork, Jacob Havely and several of his family were killed by a band of warriors, lead by Chief Kilbuck and his tribe. Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and Their Descendants, T.K. Cartmell In this book it says: Jacob Havely and several of his family were killed near the present residence of Moses Russell, Esq. at the eastern base of the North Mountain, 15 to 16 miles southwest of Winchester, Va., by Chief Kilbuck and his tribe. (It was this story that Jacob referred to in his book when he said "they tried to stretch the story.") -2- -- -- -- Marriage Bond Book No. 7, Frederick County Clerk's Office, Winchester, Virginia. "Know all men by these presents, That we, William Havely and Isaac DeHaven, are held and firmly bound unto Jno. Page, Esq., Governor of Virginia, in the just and full amount of one hundred and fifty dollars, to which payment well and truly made, to the said Governor or his successors, we bind ourselves, and each of our heirs, executors and administrators jointly and severally, firmly by these presents. Sealed with our seals, and dated this 29th day of January, 1803. Now if there be no lawful cause to object the said marriage then the above obligation to be void, otherwise to remain in full force and virtue. William Havely (Seal) Isaac DeHaven (Seal)" Marriage Bond of William Havely and Hannah DeHaven. William Havely, born Mar. 15, 1780; married Hannah DeHaven, Jan. 29, 1803 in Frederick Co., Va. She was the daughter of Isaac DeHaven and his wife Branaway, of near Gainesboro, Frederick Co., Va. William and Hannah, with four children, removed to Washington Co., Pa. in 1812, making the journey presumably in an ox-cart. Their children: Isaac, b. 1804; Charles, b. 1806; Elizabeth, b. 1808; Susan, b. 1811. After arriving at their destination, they built a log cabin, high in the hills, off the East Pike Run road, over looking the Monongahela River. The town nearby is now called Allenport. In 1820, William built a cut-stone house, of six rooms near the site of their log cabin home, and today the house is still in very good condition. The fine workmanship in the cutting of the stone in this house is remarkable. An inscription on one of the stones in the chimney has the date 1820. Isaac Carson bought this home from Asa Havely's widow in 1875 and lives there today. William and Hannah had seven other children born after coming to Washington Co. They were: Margaret, b. 1812; Mary Ann, b. 1815; William Jr., b. 1818; Abigail, b. 1821; Elijah, b. 1823; Asa Shinn, b. 1825; Owen DeHaven, b. 1834. [JMP NOTE: The birth dates provided for Mary Ann, 1815 and Elijah, 1823 seem to be reversed. Mary Ann McEldowney, an 1895 DeHaven Club member. She married Andrew McEldowney. On the 1900 census she is a widow, living with son Frank (Francis), and birth reported as Nov 1824. Census data, 1860-1880, for an Elijah Havely married to a Ruth, consistently show his age as born 1814/1815. The birth year for Owen Dehaven Havely is also in question and is discussed with his data below.] William Havely Sr. was a stone cutter by trade and also had a farm of 150 acres which he bought from William Riggs, who had migrated to this part of Washington Co. some years before. There is reason to believe that William Havely Sr. was rather tall and slender and had red hair, as several of his children had red hair. His wife Hannah, was of slender build and had a very fair complexion. She was beloved by all of her children so well that they saw her very often. She was always reminding her grandchildren of how well she thought of religious duties. -3- -- -- -- It appears that William, after coming to Penna., changed the spelling of his name to Haveley, and this way of spelling the name was used by his son Isaac, and some of Charles' family, but the other children adhered to the spelling of the name as used by their grandfather, Jacob. On the tombstones of both William and Hannah and on Isaac Haveley's house, the name is spelled Haveley. Michael Havely came from Prussia to Northumberland Co., Pa. about 1740. His son, Jacob Havely, was born in Northumberland Co., in 1750. He died in 1835. He married Sallie Hogg (pronounced Hoge), of Augusta, Frederick Co., Va., in 1770 or 1780. Their children: 1. William Havely, b. Mar 5, 1780; d. Sept 30, 1840; m. Hannah DeHaven, b. Mar 4, 1784; d. May 26, 1867. 2. Sallie Havely, b. ca 1783; m. _________ Warren. 3. Isaac Havely, b. 1785; m. _________ McKee. He settled in Knoxville, Tenn. and conducted Havely's wagon shop. He died suddenly during a cholera plague in 1854. He had two sons: Jacob, m. Edith Harrison of Seneca Falls, N.Y. He died in Portland, Ore.; James, m. Anna _________. Lived in Sacramento, Ca. No children. 4. Daughter, m. Five Coats. 5. Charles Hoge, b. 24 Apr 1800; d. 24 Nov 1864; m. Mary Warren, d. 1827. He was a furniture maker. His signature on furniture was "Chas. H. Havely". They had two? children: William, b. 1822; d. 1829; Margaret, b. 1823; m. John M. Parker; John, b. 1824; m. Margaret Christian of Clidesburg, Fayette Co., KY. He had one son, Turner, who served in Morgan's Cavalry, CSA.; Mary, m. John Crisp of Claiborne, Tenn. They went to Cal. During the 1849 gold rush. Their descendants are all very wealthy and make visits to the east often. Charles Hoge Havely married (2), Elizabeth Ely of Lee Co., Va., in 1828. Their children: Jacob, b. 1829; m. Malinda Hicks. Anne, b. 1831; m. William Woodward. Sallie, b. 1833; m. Daniel Hommell. Josephine, b. 1836; m. James Thompson. James, b. 1838, m. Eliza Spears. [m. May 20, 1868, Hawkins, TN. CEK] Benton, b. 1840; m.

He was a conductor for N & W RR, lived in Bristol, Va. -4- -- -- -- Jacob Havely (1750-1835) and Sallie Hogg's fourth child, a daughter, no given name recorded, married a man who had been raised by an Indian squaw. The squaw had found him as a baby during an Indian raid, when Indians had killed all of the other members of the family. The baby had on plenty of clothes or pieces, five exactly so old Miss Indian named him "Five Coats", as you know Indians call every garment a coat. (We have no record of the family of Five Coats. They were likely Northern Indians and he took his wife back home, and the children, if any, adopted different names.) Isaac Havely, born on Feb 4, 1804 in Frederick Co., Virginia, died Dec 8, 1840. He was the eldest child of William and Hannah Havely. In 1826, he married Amy Allen, b. Mar 30, 1809; died Feb 14, 1895. They were married by Rev. Henry Baker. She was the daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (McCrory) Allen and a granddaughter of Joseph and Deborah (Hull) Allen, who came to America with William Penn in 1770 and settled in Washington Co., Pa., on a farm which the town of Allenport is now located on. [JMP NOTE: Info on the Allen connection to William Penn is at best confused. William Penn arrived in 1682 so the above comments are nearly 90 years out of context. 2008] Isaac and Amy Havely lived in Greenfield on the Monongahela River, which is now known as Coal Center, until about 1830, when they moved to a farm which they purchased in East Finley Twp., Washington Co., Pa., six miles south of Claysville. In 1838 they erected an eight room brick residence in which they resided until their deaths. Over the front door of this house there is cut in the stone lintel this inscription: "Built by I. and A.

Havely book. ================== ================== NOTES of Flo Dyke, Dehaven researcher of the 1960-90's. ================== In the summer of 1983, Helen (Havely) Williams sent me a sheaf of old letters from her stepmother, Clara S. Havely, written during the time that she and Helen's father, Alonzo Owen Havely, were working so hard to gather information for her book HAVELY HISTORY, published in 1934. It is unbelievable the amount of letter writing, miles of auto travelling and train travelling, personal interviewing, and the hundreds of questions that Clara recruited Helen's help in answering, by searching records in the courthouse and personal contacts in and around the New Martinsville and Sardis, Ohio area. Clara and Alonzo roamed all over the hills in Washington Co., Pa. and took many pictures, as well as talking to people. One of the outstanding pictures is that of William Havely's tombstone in Howe's Churchyard located between Coal Center and Allenport, Pa. This picture established the date of his death as being Sept 30, 1840 and the Havely form of spelling he had adopted after coming west in 1812. Among the points touched upon in the letters, which Helen received was the fact that Attorney West of New Martinsville was also working to establish the relationship of the McEldowneys to the DeHaven ancestor who had loaned the money to the US Government and had given the Army wagon loads of provisions. From one of Clara's letters to Helen Williams, the following is a direct quote: "We will either go crazy with this DeHaven affair, or know all about it. A man to see us yesterday is a descendant of Mordecai, a nephew of Jacob DeHaven, he had the old Bible record from Norristown. This loan was made at their home, Valley Forge, their graves are in the cemetery there. "Now if Pa (Owen D. Havely) will tell us what his grandfather's name was. I have the old dates and names from the first descendants and we will know exactly how Pa is related. And wasn't Pa's mother's name Nancy, now Pa will surely know that. (Pa's mother was Hannah Jane (McEldowney) Havely, who married William DeHaven Havely after Nancy's death. Nancy was Robert McEldowney's youngest daughter, Hannah Jane his oldest daughter, both are sisters of Andrew McEldowney who married Mary Ann McEldowney. "I'm sorry we ever asked Yost a thing. Besides we have Jacob's two brother's birth and date and his father. They came over from France long before this war. They were farmers. But we know Jacob never married, the descendants came down from Jacob's two brothers. I have their names down to his nephews. Then it will be more interesting to know just how it is related. -23- "This loan was made through Robert Morrison soliciting loans for George Washington. You have read about Morrison in history. Another brother besides Jacob made a smaller loan, but the government paid him off with script and Jacob refused his script, so that's how Jacob's loan runs on. Jacob became a bum." Rumor has it that all of these papers were "misplaced" or disappeared in some manner from Morrison's records. -24- Peter DeHaven married Abigail West on 1 Jan 1764 in St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Germantown, and was then a German church. A deed dated 1769, Worcester Twp. discloses the fact that they lived in Bucks Co. at that time. They went to live in Frederick Co., Va. about 1790. The farm was near Gainesboro, Va., Frederick Co. where they lived in a log cabin. In 1816, Peter sold land to his son, John. Abigail, his wife, did not sign this deed, so she may have been dead. Rachel, born about 1769-70, had a son whom she named West DeHaven. He inherited the old Peter DeHaven homestead. His will gives this old place to his daughter, Mary, who married Stewart Campbell, living there today (1934); wife Mary is dead. Peter DeHaven's children lived near him and all are buried near Gainesboro, Va. William who was killed with a team of horses, is buried in Ganostown, Va. Peter's son, Isaac, born 25 Apr 1765, married Susannah Branaway, and lived near his father's home, where Abigail Phillips (his youngest daughter) said, "they were raised close neighbors". However, Abigail Phillips wrote Mary Havely Vinton, who also said in a letter dated Cincinnati, Ohio, 1888: "Abigail's father, Isaac DeHaven went to war to keep his father, Peter, from going in". A record of Peter's oath of allegiance passed the 13th day of June 1777, with his seal or signature and signed by W. Knogliser. Isaac, b. 1765, son of Peter DeHaven died Aug 25, 1838, in West DeHaven's home. This date is given by the Hon. David DeHaven of Memphis, Tenn. Isaac and his wife, Susanna are buried in Gainesboro, Va. although there is no marker for Isaac. Hannah DeHaven, eldest daughter of Isaac and her husband, William Havely, left Frederick Co., Va. to live in Washington Co., Pa., it is said, to avoid going in 1812 war. The other children soon followed. Rachel Shimp lived in Moundsville, WV.; William, b. 1789, moved to Dayton, Ohio; Susannah Wolfe lived in Washington Co., Pa., d. 1846. Her granddaughter, Hannah [ED. Susannah, 1895 Deh Club] Wolf Ward lived in California, Pa., d. Sept 1932 at the age of 90 years. Isaac, b. 1794, and his brother, Job lived and died in Gainesboro, Va., Abigail Phillips in Beallville, Monroe Co., Ohio.
