Annaken DeHaven came to America in 1698 with her parents. On 29 April 1712 she was married to Jacob Op den Graef who was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania. He was a son of Abraham Isaac Op den Graef.They were married by Rev. Paulus Van Vlecq who recorded the bride's name as Anneken ten Heuven. The records of the Bensalom Dutch Reformed Church in then Bucks County say, "Married April 29, 1712 - Jacob op de graef, young man born in Jermantown and now residing at Schipack and annchen ten heuven, young woman born at Willem aen der Roer."

In April 1712 Jacob Op den Graef was living in Skippack. In June 1813 the signature of Jacob Op den Graef immediately proceeded that of Herman In Hoven on the petition for the early road which was the beginning of the Skippack Pike. The road was described as leading from the upper end of Bebbers Township to the "wide marsh" or Farmer's Mill (Fort Side).

History of Ross and Highland Counties, Ohio

The subject of this sketch is one of the oldest and most esteemed residents of Kingston. He was born upon the old homestead one mile east of that village, at the farm now owned by Mr. Layman, on the sixth of November, 1806. He was the third child and oldest son of Harmon and Magdalene (Garhart) De Haven. Father and mother were both of the Pennsylvania German stock. They emigrated from Columbia county, in that State, in 1805, with another family in the same wagon to Scioto valley.

Here, at the point named near Kingston, the father entered a fifty acre tract of government land, and began farming. He had been a cabinet-maker in the older State, and continued to work at the business somewhat in his new home, especially in undertaking, of which he did a great deal. He lived to the age of but forty-three, dying in 1820; the mother lived almost twice as long, passing away at last in 1862, at the age of eighty-one.

Charles was educated, to a limited extent, in the subscription schools of his day, but spent most of his time and strength in the work of the farm, at which he remained until he was over forty years old, assuming the management of the farm for three or four years after his father's death. He finally sold the home farm and removed to Kingston where he still resides, and engaged in the carpenter's business during winters and in shoemaking the rest of the year.

Almost ten years ago, beginning to feel oppressed by the weight of years, he retired altogether from business and has since lead a peculiarly quiet and uneventful life. He has never held an office except that of village councilman and has had little to do with courts except in the performance of trusts as administrator or guardian. He never had a suit in a court of any grade. He lives much respected by his fellow citizens, and in the enjoyment of a comfortable competence.

Mr. DeHaven was married January 24, 1847 to Miss Jane Black, daughter of Richard Black, a farmer in Pickaway county. They had one child, Ruth, now Mrs. John E. Zimmerman, of the firm of James Riches and Company, coffin manufacturers in Cincinnati. She has five children: Burton T., a clerk in the Burnett house, in that city, Wimfred, Charles D., Luther and Jennie. Mrs. DeHaven died March 26, 1876. Her husband was again united in marriage March 27, 1877, to Miss Martha Jane Rogers, daughter of William Rogers, a farmer residing near Kingston.

Gerhard (Garret) DeHaven was a son of Evert and Elizabeth (Shipbower) (ten Heuven) In Den Hoffen. In 1698 he came to America with his parents. Gerhard and his brother, Herman, bought 440 acres on the upper side of Skippack Creek, one mile in length, along the Lower Sanford (Bebbers Township) line. It extended 229 perks on both sides of the Skippack road. Gerhard built a grist mill near the village of Skippack. He took his oath of allegiance Sep. 29, 1709. He signed his name "Gerhard in Hoven" on a petition for Skippack pike in 1713. In 1727 he was Gerhardt Indehaven Elder of the Reformed Church at Skippack. In his will, 1746, he designated himself as "of the townships of Skippack and Perkiomen, Yeoman.

On December 24, 1706, a deed went of record in Montgomery County, the same transferring four hundered forty acres from Mathias Van Beber to brothers Harman and Gerhart In Den Hoffen. It was during the following year (1707) that Gerhart married Anna Seele. They built a mill, a house to be used as a residence and in, a large barn, and several outbuildings on that property. The land encompassed what now is the village of Skippack, Pennsylvania. A parcel of that original tract is thought to yet be in the Keiter family, and the original house is now the property of the State of Pennsylvania and, for reasons we shall speak of directly.on the National Register of Historic Places.

On 4 June, 1710, at Whitemarsh, a church (Reformed) was established, of which "Evert Ten Heuven" was an Elder. Thereby is revealed the religious affiliation of old Everett and his family. The surrounding area was almost completely Dutch by that time.

Three years later, on Friday, 2 June, 1713, Gerhart was one of the signers of a petitionto Governor Penn requesting a road from "Farmer's Mill (Whitemarsh) to upper Skippack" township. The road was ordered, surveyed during the August following, and completed in 1714. It was known as the "Old Skippack Rd." and now is Pennsylvania State Rt. #73. Harman sold his interest in the four hundred forty acres to Gerhart in 1723, and moved off to Lower Providence Township.69 Following that, and during the period 1725-1730, Gerhart constructed both a sawmill and a gristmill on the property. Those mills are thought to have straddled Skippack Creek.

In 1734, old Gerhart In Den Hoffen secured a license to operate the house at Whitemarsh as an inn - a "public house."

It was during the next summer (Saturday, 20 August, 1746) that old Gerhart made his
last will and testament, and, before the end of that year, he had gone the way of all flesh. His will was recorded on Saturday, 18 February, 1746/1747, and he too was buried in the old Mennonite cemetery alongside Anna Margreda - his wife - and their little children. His will was unremarkable, however, indicative of his station in life, he there referred to himself as "yeoman."

Herman (Harmon) DeHaven was a son of Evert and Elizabeth (Shipbower) ten Heuven.
He came to America from Mülheim on the Rühr,Germany in 1698. On February 6,1710/11 he was married, at Wytmess, to Anneken Op de Graef. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Van Vlecq. Anneken was a daughter of Abraham Isaac Op de Graef.

Peter DeHaven came to America with his parents in 1698. Records of the Bensalom Dutch Reformed Church in then Bucks County say, "Married December 24, 1711 - Pieter ten heuven young man born at Willem aen der Roer and Sedonia Leveringh, young woman born at Jermantown and now residing at Rocks township." Sidonia was a daughter of Wigard and Magdalena (Bokers) Levering who came to America in 1685. Her home while with her parents was "northwest of the Baptist church, Roxborough, on the northerly side of Ridge Road, nearly opposite Green Lane." She is believed to have died before 1736 as a legacy from a relative of Sidonia's was left directly to her husband that year. Peter later married his second wife, Elizabeth McNulty.

On March 4, 1728/9 Peter received 100 acres in Whitpain Township from his parents. He is recorded as residing there in, or before, 1734. On May 1, 1742 said Peter granted 56 acres of the above tract to "his son Edward Indehove." (Another brief of the title gave the name as Edward Indehoffen)

On Dec. 1, 1742 Peter and wife Elizabeth granted 44 acres of the 100 acre tract to John Indehoffen. On Dec. 10, 1742, Peter and Elizabeth, his wife, granted unto "William Indehove son of said Peter" 55 acres of a tract of 105 acres in Whitpain, bought from Thomas Thomas of Radnor June 1720.

On Feb. 10, 1746/7 Peter and Elizabeth granted 50 of the 150 acre tract bought by Peter from Rees Thomas, Anthony Morris and Ann Whitpain in 1730, to Samuel DeHaven, the son of Peter. Samuel's first tract was south of the land belonging to the German Congregation and east of the Skippack road. On June 7, 1757 Peter granted Samuel 12 more acres from this tract.

On May 28, 1754 Peter and wife granted 40 acres, and on Dec.15, 1759 23 acres of this tract to his son Jacob DeHaven. On Dec. 15, 1759 Peter and wife granted 21 acres, and on Sep. 18, 1761 2 acres and 5 perches, to the son Garret DeHaven, this also from the 150 acre tract above named. Jacob and Garret sold out entirely to Samuel so that Samuel finally owned the 150 acres. A tract of 48 acres was deeded to Peter (Junior) June 20, 1751 from the above named 105 acres bought by Peter, "Elder" from Thomas Thomas of Radnor. It was bounded by lands of Edward and William DeHaven and Joshua Dickinson, beginning at the Skippack Road. Since John's estate was kept in his line until the latter part of the 19th century and is located on maps at Blue Bell, and since these lands were adjoining, it is obvious that the settlement of Peter, the elder, was at Blue Bell, part of it contiguous with the German Congregation (Boehm's) and part on the other side of the Skippack Road. The cause for granting the deed of 1742 was "the sad Peter and Elizabeth thereunto moving."

Peter died on 23 May 1768 at age 82 and is buried at Boehm's Church, Blue Bell, Whitpain Township, Montgomery (then Philadelphia) County, Pennsylvania. The will of "Peter de Haven of Whitpain" was written on November 29 1767 and proven on 13 June 1768.

What follows is an indenture made by Peter and Mary's children on 5 Oct 1817:
