Here's my data, working backwards - anyone interested? >> Tiffany, I saw your post - see above. Is DeHaven one of the original 13? My husband's 3G Grandmother was a De Haven. We do not know her first name, but she married a Mr. Twaddell. Since that is a rather unusual name I perhaps someone who has De Havens might recognize it. They had a son Charles Twaddell, born in Wales, (d. 3 June, 1884) who was married 10 Nov 1836 to Sarah Harrison (1812-10 Nov 1905) in Westchester PA. At the time of the marriage he was listed as "from Delaware County PA" and she "from Philadelphia County, PA," She was reportedly born in England. Charles and Sarah Twaddell had at least one daughter, Esther Ann Twaddell, (3 Mar 1842, Chadds Ford PA - 5 Nov 1900) who married my husband, McKaig Lovell's, great grandfather, Captain William James McKaig. The following is from my notes on the DeHavens: "He (Mr. DeHaven) was a school master - He built a small powder mill at Chadds Ford PA - later he sold the same to the DuPonts - it is now a relic, having flowers growing inside - They charge an admission for sightseers to enter - The DuPonts have purchased many of the Twaddell farms." The following is from a letter written by a great aunt of my husband in the 1950's. Mac always joked about missing out on family fortunes because this ancestor sold his powder mill to the DuPonts! Love to hear if you have heard of the Twaddell/DeHaven branch. Nancy Lovell
