Peter DeHaven born at Mylheim on the Ryhr, Germany (Mülheim an der Ruhr, also called "City on the River", is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. Wikipedia ) in 1686 and came to America with his parents in 1698. On 24 December 1711 he was married to Sidonia Levering who was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on 23 April 1691. Records of the Bensalom Dutch Reformed Church in the Bucks County says, ÙS Married December 24,1711- Pieter ten heuven young man born at Willem aen residing at Rocks Township.ÙT Sidonia was the daughter of Wigard and Magdaline (Bokers) Levering who came America in 1685. Her home while with her parents was ÙSnorthwestÙT of the Baptist church, Roxborough,on the northerly side of Ridge Road, nearly opposite Green LaneÙT the place of her burial is not known; it may have been in the Levering burying ground, before 1736 as a legacy from SidoniaÙus father 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 ÙShis son Edward Indehove.ÙT (Another brief of the title gave the name as Edward Indehoffen) On December 1,1742 Peter and wife Elizabeth granted 44 acres of the 100 acre tract to John Indehoffen. On December 10,1742, Peter and Elizabeth, his wife, granted unto ÙSWilliam Indehove son of said PeterÙT 55 acres if a tract of 105 acres in Whitpain, bought from Thomas Thomas of Radnor June 1720. On Feb 10 1746/47 Peter and Elizabeth granted 50 of the Whitpain in 1730 to Samuel DeHaven, the son of Peter. SamuelÙus first tract was south of the land belonging to German congregation and east of the Skippack Road. On June 7,1747 Peter and wife granted 40 acres and on December 15,1759 23 acres of this tract to his son Jacob DeHaven. On December 15,1759 Peter and wife grant 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 ÙSElderÙT from Thomas Thomas of Radnor. It was bounded by lands of Edward and William DeHaven and Joshua Dickinson, beginning at the Skippack Road. Since JohnÙus 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 (BoehmÙus) and part on the other side of the Skippack Road. The cause for granting the deed of 1742 was ÙSthe sad Peter and Elizabeth thereunto movingÙu

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