Diana and Susan: Let me add my thanks to you both for these fine postings of wills, especially when they are loaded with so many surnames. To be part of a family that's connected to the POTTS, RAMBO, and SHENLINE/SHAINLINE families is like winning the trifecta. Good luck on knitting them all with the HOLSTEINs.

Hello Dan, I notice you are researching the DeHaven family - I have a number of DeHaven's in my data base beginning with Peter DeHaven m. Sarah Hughes - their son Hugh married Sarah Holstein b. 1755 d/o Mathias Holstein & Magdaline Hulings. Hugh DeHaven & Sarah Holstein even named one of their sons Lindsay Coates DeHaven after my Lindsay Coates husband of Rachel Holstein (sister of Sarah Holstein/DeHaven). Lindsay Coates & his wife Rachel Holstein had a daughter Rachel b. abt. 1787 who married a Smith (possibly named Nathaniel or Nathan) and that is my brick wall. I have no problem documenting the son of Rachel Coates/Smith (Charles M. Smith b. 1816 PA) - and documenting her/their ancestors is a dream but her Smith husband is proving too elusive to pin down. Let me know if I can offer you any DeHaven data (the more the merrier when it comes to searching family groups), Susan Daniel J.
