Notes
a. Note:   nk china and some very fine furniture belonged to the Dehaven family.
  Abraham Dehaven was a son of William Dehaven and his wife Hanna (Cromber) Dehaven. He was born in Whitpain Township, Philadelphia (now Montgomery) County, Pennsylvania, in 1750. His wife was Ann, on June 10, 1785. "Abraham Dehaven of Plymouth Township" acting with his brother Samuel as executor of his father, William's, will sold the estate of 74 3/4 Acres in Whitpain; both signed the deeds; the land was at once deeded back to Samuel and Abraham Dehaven. In William Dehaven's settlement papers, Samuel and Abraham both signed the first account rendered in 1785-1786. The second account rendered 25 Aug 1787 was signed only by Samuel... "the above named Samuel Dehaven acting as executor (the other executor being absent)...
  The tax records of 1774 (Effective Supply Tax) show Abraham living in Horsham Township. He was there until 1783. In 1783 his name appeared in Whitemarsh - he may have lived on a borderline farm, Plymouth - Whitemarsh. At no time was he recorded as taxed for land. It was undoubtably he who served with his brother Samuel from Horsham in Capt. David Marpole's 5th Company, First Battalion, Philadelphia County Militia, in the Revolutionary War, as there was no other Dehaven family in Horsham Township at that time. On June 13, 1786, Abraham Dehaven of Plymouth and wife Ann signed the deed for 74 acres of William Dehaven's land in Whitpain to George Reiff of Lower Salford. This sale was made for 80 pounds in settlement of William's estate. Abraham acting as co-executor with Samuel. The land was owned jointly by Abraham, Ann, Samuel and Catherine. Abraham's occupation was never given. Abraham appears in Center Twp, Indiana Co, PA on the 1810 census.
