DeHaven Descendancy Chart
This is mostly my (Bonnie Bunce) direct line from Evert and Elizabeth (Schippbouhr) DeHaven who came to America with four children in 1698 to what was then Germantown, Pennsylvania, but is now part of the City of Philadelphia. According to the DeHaven Club, the family spelled its name various ways in the old Pennsylvania records: ten Heuven, Im Hoff, Endehave, Indehoffen, In den Hoffen, as well as DeHaven. Evert and Elizabeth's son, Peter DeHaven, was said to be the first to have adopted the "DeHaven" spelling. Elizabeth Schippbower's surname means "ship builder" in German, so it is believed her ancestors were shipbuilders in Mulheim-an-der-Ruhr, Germany. This list does not have the names of ALL their descendants. Mine is the 11th generation from Evert and Elizabeth DeHaven.
Sources for this record include information printed in the DeHaven Club Membership Directory; the 1860 Nottingham, Chester Co., Pennsylvania census record for the family of Jesse Kennady; the will of Jesse DeHaven in the Chester Co., Pennsylvania records, will of James Kennedy, obituary and death certificate for my g.g.grandfather, Jesse Osburn Kennedy; the Massachusetts death certificate for my g.grandmother, Ida Richardson (Kennedy) Cole; and the New York City marriage certificate for my grandparents, as well as Philadelphia Archives—Biographies. Please note each dot or period stands for a generation. Links to other online sources for the DeHaven family can be found on my page referencing the DeHaven Club.Updated: 16 Jul 2005
