To quote my cousin, Melissa, "Most of the information for generations 1-5 comes from a typed manuscript by a Miss Helen Wright, whose unpublished history of the DeHaven family included Irene D.S. Conard's notes. These provided the connecting link between the earliest ancestor known to us (generation 6) and the generations preceding him. The family name Rhoads has appeared in at least one descendant's name in our family for nearly every generation within living memory. The Conard references to a John DeHaven (generation 5) married to Sarah Rhoads, daughter of Abraham Rhoads, and mother of Abraham Rhoads DeHaven, is the missing link. I believe that these are the source of the biblical Abraham and Sarah about which Aunt Sissy [Ellen Mae DeHaven] and my grandmother [Edna Mae Smith DeHaven] used to talk.""The Eugene P. [Pyett] DeHaven family Bible, currently in the possession of your grandmother and my cousin [Ida Marion DeHaven Edgerton], is the source for names and dates for generations 6-10. I have found discrepancies between various sources, so I realize that these charts are definitely a work in progress.
"The first chart lists those people whom I believe to be our direct ancestors, and their spouses and parents-in-law. Also included is any information regarding their place of residence. As you can see, I believe that we are descended through the first Peter and his third son, John.
"The second chart lists all siblings that I have found mentioned in relation to our direct line. Here is where I have run into the most problems and the repetition of same first names, generation after generation, in collateral lines, can be quite confusing.
"The blood may seem to get a little thin through all these generations, but we have a double hit, so to speak, because we are descended from the first Peter through his daughter, Magdalena (Modlin). From a Supplee family history, I have found that Magdalena DeHaven married Hans Supplee. Their daughter, Deborah, married Christopher Zimmerman. Their daughter, Magdalena Zimmerman (October 24, 1764 - November 25, 1819) married David DeHaven (1748 - February 15, 1815), descendant of the first Peter DeHaven. These folks form the 4th generation on my chart. Generation 5 consists of the John DeHaven that married Sarah Rhoads, and generation 6 is Abraham Rhoads DeHaven who marries Elizabeth Pyett.
"The third chart shows the descendants of A. Rhoads DeHaven and Ellen Anderson, who are our immediate ancestors."
I have created a fourth chart giving sketchy information on collateral ancestral lines where they connect with the DeHavens; this is bare bones stuff, but I'm fleshing it out as I can. Trying to figure out who's who in this tangle can be really tricky. I've used the most common form of Evert and Elizabeth's names, but the variations are astounding. Evert can be Evart, Eberhart, Eberhardt. Elizabeth might be Liesbiet. I've seen his last name spelled Inden Hoffen, In den Hoff, In dehove, ten Hoeven, In Haeven, In den Hoffen, DeHaven, Im Hoffin, Endehoven, Inderhoffin, Inderhoevin, Dehaven and de Hoff. His wife is a little better, but still pretty maddening: Schipboúwer, Schibbauer, Schippboucher, Shibauers. The younger generations improve slowly until they stick with DeHaven, although even today there is argument over capitalizing the "H". (My family has always done so.) There are other names that undergo changes, such as Souplis becoming Supplee and Zimmerman morphing into Timmerman at times. Spelling was sometimes a "by guess and by golly" thing then, and many people were illiterate. If you didn't know how to spell your name, how could you quibble with a clerk who took a guess? Sometimes READING them was open to interpretation, too. First names seem to change willy-nilly, as well: Harmon becomes Herman, Modlin changes to Magdalena, Hans can be Hance, etc. Wherever there are variations, I have tried to stick with the most common usage and may give a variation if there aren't too many. These tend to lessen as we come forward in time, which is probably a testament to education and literacy.
Chart 1
1) Evert (or Eberhart/Evart) In den Hoffen (b. 1650 d. March 4, 1728)... m. 1675 Elizabeth Schipboúwer (or Shipbouwer/Schibbauers)

They thought that he might have gone to join his brother who was working for a Mr. Penrose on an island south of Philadelphia (Penrose Island, Passyunk Twp., 4 miles south of Phila.)"
