It isn't easy to tell, but there is a man on far left with staff by tree, a woman on porch, a young man immediately left of the buggy on far right, a baby girl in pram held by boy in center, a very small girl sitting to left of pram, and (really invisible) a smaller boy on porch steps. This is William Henry Smith Sr and family in front of the farmhouse built by his brother, James P Smith, on William Smith farm in White Clay Creek, now Newark Delaware. Actually, since the eldest boy isn't much older than the middle one, and a George Smith of unknown origin age 10 lived on the farm in 1870 census, and only the girl by the bushes is definitely a girl, one gets the idea that the boy by the buggy is not a child of Wm Henry and Mary Smith, and the baby in the buggy is my grandfather, and the youngest child, Amanda Miller, is not yet born. Since she wasn't born by the 1880 census and Mayme was, and my grandfather was bor in 1879, the picture must have been taken in 1880. The eldest boy, Willard, was then around eight years old.
Welcome to my main genealogical page. It contains my
ahnentafel charts (by family grouping for ease of
comprehension), family group sheets and a brief description of
each subgrouping of my father's family.
For my mother's genealogy, Go to my mother's genealogy
Ahnentafel charts (organized in numerical order from a multi- generation pedigree chart) are hard to make sense out of. I have broken mine down by family grouping. At the level of my father's grandparents and great grandparents, his ancestry breaks into distinct groupings that contributed in identifiable ways to who my family are: early German religious refugees to Philadelphia and Montgomery County, prosperous yeoman farmer Quaker meeting and community leaders, and Pennsylvania-Dutch immigrants to central Pennsylvania from Rhineland and (mostly) the Palatinate. And of course the Scotch-Irish Smiths, about whom I as yet know nothing before they came to Pennsylvania.

4. William Henry Smith Sr. b 10/14/1830 LB m 2/15/1871 PH
d 8/19/1911 PH (where
they moved in 1901 with 3 youngest children after selling
his share of his father's farm in WC).
They both lived in White Clay Creek when they eloped to
Philadelphia to marry, and continued to live on the Smith
farm in White Clay Creek for the next thirty years.
William Henry Smith Sr was a schoolteacher, then, in
Wilmington? a justice of the peace, moved in with his
mother on farm in White Clay Creek when his father died,
in 1863, served at some times as postmaster, census
enumerator. Farmed. LIved in James P's house by 1883.

6. Charles Moore. b Aug 3 1859. Pennsylvania. His father,
Thomas, b Pennsylvania and his mother b PA or MD (known
only from census).
Died Jan 22, 1920 Philadelphia
married in Dauphin Co before June 1880, as per 1880 census
record of the Dehart family that shows Carrie B Moore
visiting her parents and Charles nowhere to be found
unless not in the area or in Harrisburg.
1890, no census. 1900, found in Wilmington, where city
directories show that the family lived from 1900 to 1904.
Had sister Libby, my father thought. My father has an
accurate memory. Cousin Dorothy said the Moores had
relatives in Wilmington or Wilmington area and in Northern
Delaware. Moved to Philadelphia
area, maybe Drexil Hill or Upper Darby, show up there
in the city directory in 1908 and possibly earlier. .
1910 census at 5222 Webster St where they lived in 1908,
and in 1911 (Bessie Mae's marriage application) and in
1920. 1910 census says they owned the house and there
was no mortgage on it. Charles Moore is consistently
listed as a roller trimmer and seemed to consistently be
employed, unlike the impression hs death certificate gives
that he was a "self employed roller trimmer". He must
have worked in one of the large plants that reworked
steel into parts for ships, trains, etc., in Philadelphia.
Buried on 1/26/1920 at Arlington Cemetery, Upper Darby
Nothing else known.
Death certificate shows him b Aug 3 1859 in Pennsylvania.
Says his father was Thomas, also b in PA. 1910
census says same, adds mother b Maryland. Gravestone
says he was b 1858, and has a flag engraved on it, which
may mean he was a veteran. He was a "roller trimme" on
death cert, "Self-employed" and a "Roll turner" at "Steel
Works" in 1910 census, at which time he had been employed
all of the previous year. 1910 census says they owned the
house at 5222 Webster St whre they lvied by 1908 and where
Nellie continued to live long enough after 1920 for my
father to remember visiting her there. He was apparently
a steelworker. PHiladelphia had heavy industry that used
steel workers. Steelton had steel mills.
7. Carrie Dehart b 1862 Dauphin Co, according to all family records,
b May 10, 1863, according to her death certificate, b May
1863 1900 census. d July 29 1941, Carlisle Pa,
Carlisle in 1942.She married at only age 17, then,
Possibly only 16 when she married. Charles was four years
older.
Her sister Eva also married extremely young, she may
have been only 16 - and she had in the 1880 census been
working for another family as a servant, at housework or
in the "truck garden". She was enumerated twice at both
households.
She died of cerebral arteriosclerosis, causing myocardial
degeneration, and she had developed shock as a result
dislocating her shoulder when she fell getting out of bed.
But the death certificate says under occupation that she'd
been an invalid for 18 years. She was only 78 when she
died. My father remembered her as being in poor health
for a long period of time, and as living with her two
daughters by turns for awhile. A picture of her, taken
by her visiting sister and niece at my grandparents' house
in Carlisle in 1935, shows her in a very nice housecoat,
outside, where the pictures were taken, and looking
like she didn't know what was going on or who was there,
or at the very least did not appreciate what was going on
and who was there.
She would have been only 72 at the time - and aside from
looking like she had Alzheimers, she looked like she was
in her early 60's. She looked younger than her younger
sister, who was missing her teeth, and had white hair,
and drawn skin with fine lines, and was smiling brightly.
Buried with her husband at Arlington Cemetery on 8/1/1941,
according to cemetery staff, after funeral in Philadelphia,
having died on 7/29 some year according to copy of obit.
She married Charles Moore by June, 1880, was living in
Highspire at the time, visiting her parents in 1880 census,
Charles nowhere in sight unless in Harrisburg. She was
18 years old at the time. She seems
to have had Nellie in Reading, whre her parents also had
a home in 1886 (FUneral home's records) and to have lived
in Wilmington with Moore relatives some time before they
lived in PHiladelphia by 1908 - with or without Charles
with her.

8. William Smith b 2/4/1797 LB m 5/10/1821 LB d 9/23/1863 WC
buried in cemetery of Flint Hill Church ("Wesley" in my
great grandfather's family history; almost noone remembers
that name) Bought a huge farm that spanned the Delaware-
Maryland-Pennsylvania border. When the Delaware-Pennsyl-
vania border moved for a time in the 19th century, his
part of White Clay Creek was in London Britain for a time.
Was and is now in Newark, Delaware. William was a very
ambitious man, a local political leader, and served several
terms in the Delaware legislature. His son, my great
grandfather, wrote that as a youth he was a lively and
active lad, who loved sport. He was started as an apprentice
stonemason, the son of a poor weaver, and ended up
building numerous large and public buildings, then in
business with his brother selling farm threshers big
time in Maryland, then bought the farm.

Fifth generation
16. John Smith b abt 1769 Ireland. d 1847, my family records
1854, Jim McVey's and Richard Carey's records
Immigrated to LB (landed at
New Castle, but their records burned) roughly between 1787
and 1797. Supposed (biogr article, William Henry Smith
Sr) to have worked for Davis Whitten, justice of the peace.
Davis Whitten b 1788, didn't have own household until after
1810 (1820 census). John Smith bought 29 acres of land in
London Britain from Robert Roney, adjoining land of Robert
Roney, late Moses Crow, and Benjamin Whitten brother of John,
in 1798. Since he and Isabella went to live and work for
Whittens because they came from Ireland penniless, they needed
time to save up cash they paid for farm. John
Whitten had two free servants in 1790
census, names not listed. Aquired "small" farm LB, "near
Chesterville" (hamlet in northwest sector).
The deed and London Britain tax records consistently
describe John Smith as a weaver, and he paid $100 annual
tax as a weaver; it looks as though it was his primary
livlihood. He owned only l horse and l or 2 cows, and 29
acres of land is a very small amount of land.
Attended
New London Presbyterian Church, then the series of little
offshoot churches in southern New London that included
Flint Hill and that both shared with other congregations
and changed over to Methodist and Methodist-Episcopal;
the Smiths changed with them. Supposed to have attended
these churches along with William their son, and to be
buried with William and his wife under same marker at
"Wesley Chapel" which was Flint Hill Church, but if they
are there they aren't on any of the markers in the Smith
plot.
In 1831, a judgement on a mortgage for $200 that John
Smith took out in what looks like l803 forced him to
sell his farm, and his loom, to his son George, for the
mortgage, the judgement, and a sum of money, and the
following year George sold the entire mess to someone
else. I don't know what happened to John and Isabella
then. George is buried at
Flint Hill Cemetery; he didn't go very far, and probably
neither did John and Isabella. I expect the l840 and
1850 census of the area to yield light on it, especially
if John was living in l850.
Yvan Kellar currently owns what was the Smith farm; the
current house was built around the log cabin the Smiths
built, and another half of the house added on. A fireplace
in the cellar of the original log cabin suggests that
John and Isabella, who had a one year old child and a small
baby, lived in the cellar of their uncompleted cabin the
first winter. They must have really have struggled, and
one wonders at their failure to have made friends in eight
years they could have stayed with. It seems like if they had
had people they could have gotten indoors with with those two
little babies, they would have.
A history of weaving, in addition to showing the large
manual loom he would have used, says that just between
1830 and 1832, the first industrial textile mills started
operation in the PHiladelphia/ southeastern Pennsylvania
area, and the price of textiles plummeted severely.
Village/ cottage weavers like John Smith were unable to
make a living, and many, like John Smith, were ruined.
17. Isabella Smyth b abt 1769 Ireland. d 1843 LB or WC.
Described as slight and intellectual of feature. Her
parents were William Smyth and Elizabeth King, according
to Jim McVey's family records.
See file on Smiths and origins
18. Jesse Dehaven b 9/10/1773 Montgomery County m __________
d 1835/8 LB Buried New London Presbyterian Church, as is
his wife. He and his father Samuel of Horsham bought 79
acres in London Britain from John or Jacob Wright, a
relative by marriage. In l814, Jesse officiated at the
wedding of his daughter Phoebe, must have been elder or
deacon. In l8l8 he petitioned and in l8l9 opened a tavern,
the Dehaven Tavern or Dehaven Inn, at corner of Elkton Road
and a new (in l8l8) road that began in New London, ran past
a paper mill, ran past limestone quarries in New Garden
(probably the quarries near Landenburg, in London Britain,
the town boundary was different then) and ended at a public
road at the Delaware state line - I'm working on that
location.

1. Mary Emma Thompson b 9/12/1844 or 1845 LB, d 4/19/1923 PH
m 2/15/1871 PH (lived WC) William Henry Smith Sr
A family photo I have shows her as a possibly formal or
stiff and retiring sort, who went for nice but simple
plain dark clothing - as I do.
2. Ezra Thompson Sr b 1804 Graveyard records (65 at 1870 census)
prob WC, poss MC or NG d 1873, buried LB Quaker meetinghouse
graveyard, with wife, some children.
Either or both Ezra or his brother Daniel were leaders
of and also lead services at the (Orthodox) LB meeting.
All anyone so far remembers of them is they lived in
WC, and "my mother said they sat in the front pew", the
latter statement reminiscent of my own family. My father
was Episcopal minister of a small village church, from
the time I was two until I was twenty-one, and the
people didn't know us at all, and thought us
stand-offish. We kept to ourselves, and my brother and
q I weren't allowed to have friends or to participate in
many activities - because my parents were scared of the
world and ever thought one or another terrible sort of
thing was going to happen. Sometimes the terrible thing
that was going to happen was well defined, and sometimes
it was vague.

Wilson m (2) 8/19/1806 Sarah Scarlett Settled in WC, I don't
know when, d 9/19/1840, family records at New Garden mm.
Eli seems to have been a very quiet person. I don't
know what role he may have played in his meeting. But
he signed the wedding certificate only of one of his
brothers. This means the only wedding he ever went to of
his small, close-knit community was that of one of his
brothers. All present signed a Quaker wedding
certificate, and that was almost always alot of people;
usually from half to most of the members of the meeting.
5a. Elizabeth Wilson "of" London Grove. d "11, 3rd mo, 1803" =
January 11, 1803. Much confusion about dates results from
different Quaker dating system. THEY didn't always know what
year it was, or what to do with November and December. lst
month, or l3th? Also, many dates I have have been simply
copied from Quaker records as though they were English dates.
But because the date died is important, I
checked it in the actual original New Garden records.
5b. Sarah Scarlett d 3/1/1859.
I proceed on assumption Elizabeth Wilson is Ezra's mother. Could
prove untrue.
6. John Miller b 8/16/1771 NG m 8/25/1797 NG d 12/22/1834 He
had a set of traits I have never until now seen listed
in genealogies for every 3rd or 4th member or recent
descendant of a family. For that matter, I have elsewhr
seen peoples' personalities described in genealogies
only in the half-dozen published by Dehavens.
He was a very quiet person, "a zealous
Quaker, and a whig of uncompromising principle."
7. Mary Webster d 11/9/1862. She was hard to track down, owing to
the fact that her family from New Jersey lived in the
middle of Delaware County; I have no idea how she and John
Miller even met! Her family were staunch Quakers, but they
had an interesting history of running off to marry without
following proper procedure and then atleast trying to make up
with the local meeting (which provides interesting history to
the time when her granddaughter, Mary Emma Thompson, and William
Henry Smith did the same thing), and she and John Miller married
before a justice of the peace, and the record of her disownment
for this by her meeting doesn't say in what town this justice of
the peace was. It also isn't clear if the date I have is the date
they married or the date she was disowned. Both John and Mary
were apparently in good standing at the New Garden Quaker meeting,
where his clan were prominent among the leadership of both meeting
and township, and they are both buried at that meeting. There is
no record that Mary's home meeting ever accepted her back after
she acknowleded her error, and I didn't know enough when I went
through the New GArden records where I understood they had
married to check to see if anything had been made of them maybe
having done something of this nature.

Six of his and Elizabeth Miller's ten children died young.
(THere was actually nothing random about the high child
mortality rate in those days; in most of my ancestral
lines, few or no children ever died. The Smith family
lost noone to disease before age 50, ever. Extreme
vulnerability to respiratory infections like bronchitis,
influenza, pneumonia, and scarlet fever, which is mainly
what killed the members of this family group when a cause
is listed, or people tell me what they were all dying of,
could be an important clue where
my allergies and asthma came from. (In my mother's lines,
only in Raymond lines did children drop like flies.) The
chronic inflammation of allergies and asthma plus the
frequency with which allergic people rub and pick at noses
and eyes makes them extremely vulnerable to frequent and
severe respiratory infections. An allergic person is likely
to catch whatever comes along and get sicker than other
people. I had this problem as a
child, and got it back two years ago along with a slew
of new allergies. Every two weeks, sick, calling off work,
sinus infections, bronchitis, lobar pneumonia in the middle
of July. Back to allergy shots, instant return
to good health. I had only one cold last winter!

the door and asked if she could please spend the night.

John and Andrew purchased a very large tract of land in
Penn's colony of West New Jersey. They organized and
founded the Quaker meeting there; had it meet in their
home, donated the land and much of the money, and were
leaders of the meeting, as were some of their children.
They also served as colonial members of the legislature
and justices of the peace. One of them died with old
books appraised at his death in his possession. Andrew
wrote a long and beautifully written family history
in the meeting records at Elsinboro.

founded both Newark and its Quaker meeting. His roots
go back several generations in Ireland; he was origi-
nally of English Puritan stock, settled there either
with a land grant for fighting in the civil war, or
in an effort to supplant the CAtholic Irish.

He and his wife had farm in LB, which he bought w his

Church, and are buried there. Jesse Dehaven also
owned a Dehaven TAvern and Dehaven Inn, at corner of
Elkton Road and the new (in l8l8) road taht began in
New London and ran past George Smith (the not related
to John Smith George Smith with 20 children in l820
census) saw and paper mill in London Britain, past
lime stone quarries in New Garden ending at public
road at Delaware State Line! (Did they NAME roads in
those days?) A road that met that description is
on l830 map of the area, but I have Elkton Road as
in Franklin, ie in New London in 1830, and intersecting

craftsman. The Leverings were orginally English. ONe
of them were among the tens of thousands of Protestants
who fled Charles I by going to Holland; probably Rosier
Levering's father. For several centuries Protestants
were fleeing all over Europe by the tens of thousands in
every which direction, leading to the "my ancestors ran
from one country to another like the tax collector was
after them" syndrome. Most in Holland eventually spread
out and assimilated. After atleast twice marrying Dutch
women, the Leverings moved not far across the German
border, and then to GErmantown, Pa.
65. Elizabeth VanDeWalle b 1626. Her brother, Jacob
VanDderWalle, was a wealthy Dutch Pietist, and a
prominent shareholder in Frankfort Company which owned
and organized Germantown. His wealth was the foundation
of the Levering wealth; some of them are still wealthy
industrialists. The Dehavens may also have benefitted
from it.

m 5/151/1774 (?) Germany d 1745 Weidner Homestead, Oley TWP
Berks Co He was a member of the Ephrata Cloister and may
have been New Born. That rumor persists without apparently
any hard evidence. He and another young man did circumcize
themselves, which was a New Born practice, from Ephrata
records. He made most of teh roof tiles for the Cloister.
He had a kiln and is often described as a tile maker. He
also apparently made other pottery, etc, with great skill.
But supposed to be not listed anyplace as a tilemaker.
He is both supposed to have come between 1721 and 1727, and
located as having come over in 1733 or 1734, ship to be
found on Dehart page. Incident with the circumcision was in
1735. New Borns most active in 1720's. He bought or else
made official claim to his land in Oley in 1734. Land office
was out of commission until 1733 and many people squatted.
He also put date 1734 on a roof tile of his cabin. It is
not clear if he lived in ornear the Cloister when a member.

Robert Sr came from Ireland; James Kennedy married Catherine Dehaven is not of the same family. The Kennady's were a small family.
