Dehavens and descendants of Samuel II

Dehavens: EArly ancestry and Descendants of Samuel II

For more information on early Dehavens and for information on
Smith lines of descent from Jesse Dehaven, see

My main genealogical file on my father's ancestry
My notes on the Dehavens
German Dehaven history
Evert's and Peter's seal, Jesse Dehaven's mark"

Following is a partial table of Dehavens (they are a large
family) with my own direct line and their siblings, showing
relationships to Jacob Dehaven of the Revolutionary War loans.
I will be glad to look anyone up in my copy of Baron Von Alten's
(l894) Dehaven table and other information on request. I
have the most specific information on my own lines, and the
purpose of this file is to compile information on people
descended from Samuel II and closely related to me. See also my
Smith group sheets in my main
genealogical file for descendants of Samuel II who are
members of my own Smith family. My great-great grandfather,
William Smith, of London Britain PA and White Clay Creek, DE,
married Mary the daughter of Jesse Dehaven, and they had ten
children, and many descendants. I have information on several
of those lines, and am looking for the rest of them.

A number of books on Dehavens have been published; Martha
Wright's good one is available from the Mormon LDS library
through its family history centers. The information below is
generally known about the family, comes from Baron Von Alten's
chart of the genealogy of the Peter I branch of the Dehaven
family published in 1894 and up to date on many lines at that
time, Martha WRight's book on the Dehavens, and relatives.

Don Shockley and Joe Patterson have a set of good and informative
biographical and genealogical documents on early Dehavens
including Samuel II's line at the USGENWEB archives under
Pennsylvania: Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties, biography.

retain my copyright and the rights it gives me, and noone may
copyright it, own it, have proprietary rights to it, or tell
other people not to publish it or give it to anyone. And I would
appreciate being credited for information in these pages, not
because I deserve more credit than the rest of my family who like
all genealogical information it came from (!!!!!), but because
crediting information puts people on notice that the material
may be copyright, and a trail of uncredited information could
end in a situation like the one that prompted me to put copyright
notices on some of my pages, and I might not even know about it
to fix it. And keep in mind that my copyright still exists if
I fail to come after you and eat you for dinner, which I
probably won't, since my interest is in the whole health of a
family group!

The reason for this notice is that a distant cousin associated
with a family club recently tried to restrict the members of the
entire family group from sharing, publishing on the web, or
giving o public data bases like the Mormon Family History
Library's or Genweb their own genealogical information, subject
to the publication and sale of a book! Until that moment, I
thought that the book, as a COOPERATAIVE family project, was a
good idea. I VERY strongly believe that a family's genealogical
information belongs to the entire family, and noone has a right
to tell people what they can and can't do with their own
genealogical information, prevent them from using their own
genealogical information, or interfere with communication of
such basic and critical information within a family. The
reality of modern family communication is that most families in this country are l3 or so generations old, some far older, and huge, and their members don't know who or where each other are, and have limited at best interest in direct communication if
they did. A family still needs to transmit its basic genealogical, genetic health and historical information,and
under the circumstances that communication is necessarily
largely public. It takes place via the Web and large data
bases, where people can access it. Unfortunately, another fact
of modern intellectual life is retain the right to use one's
own "intellectual property" is copyright it. This is a major
issue in professions that do substantial academic and
scientific research, most of which depend on the free exchange
and open availability of knowledge and of research findings.

So the purpose of the copyright notice is to make it clear to all
that this information is freely available AND WILL REMAIN SO.

The reasons why Dorothy Bertine and the Dehaven Club don't have
my permission to use it are that I don't want my information
legally entangled with people who are acting like this, and I
can't justify to my relatives letting people like this have our
collective information.
