Information on Nicholas Havener

Submission: {geni:about_me} Col. Nicholas Havener emmigrated from the Paltinate region of Germany along aroute that took him down the Rhine River and to the Port City of Amsterdam in Holland. From Amsterdam he and approximately 380 like-minded emnmigrants set sail for America upon the ship "Davy" in the Spring of 1738. After a layover in Cowes, Isle of Wright, England the "Davy" arrived at the port of Philadelphia on Oct. 25, 1738 --- [see the preceeding PROLOGUE section of this work for narrative and insight as to at least some of the travails that these hardy souls had already overcome in their efforts to establish a life in the New World]. The initial destination for Nicholas and many of his shipmates upon leaving Philadelphia was the German community in the Tulpehocken area of then Lebanon (now Berks) Co, Pa. Over the period of the following fiftteen years he would marry, provide for his wife and four children, and yearn for even better things in their lifes. Nicholas and Elizabeth were members of the Christ Churchin Tulpehocken (High German Evangelical Luthern) while Christian Lauer who is mentioned elsewhere as the godfather of Maria Catarina "Catren" and as the second husband of the widowed Elizabeth was a member of Trinity Reformed Church (High German Evangelical Reformed-UCC) as well as the Christ Church. Nicholas took Oath to he Crown (Naturalized) in Pennsylvania on 9-16-1750. Within a very short time of his becoming eligible to do so by naturalization he purchased two tracts of land West of the town of Rehrersburg, Tulpehocken Township, Berks Co. The larger tract of 205 acres was sold in 1754 coincident with his move to Virginia. His disposition of the smaller 104 1/2 acre tract is undetermined. Other than the sale of land, the last that is known of Nicholas in Pennsylvania is that he and Elizabeth served as Sponsors (Godparents) at the Baptism of Anna Elizabeth Troester in July, 1753. The service occurred at theAltolhoe or Altalaha Church in Rehersburg. In May,1755 Nicholasand Ellizabeth purchased 2 tracts of land totaling 600 acres that stradled the South Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac River. This property is situated North of the present town of Brandywine, Pendleton County, West Virginia. In the style of the day Nicholas and Elizabeth raised their family in a log cabin with an earthen floor, several large pots for cooking and washing, somelivestock and horses and little else. Nicholas pursued his trade as a cooper. in his will drawn in 1769 Nicholas makes specific provision for the disposition of his coopers tools. Nicholas had previousely taken an Oath to The Crown (was naturalized) in Pennsylvqnia on Sept 16,1750 and for reasons unknown repeated this act in Augusta County, Virginia on May 18,1762. The Seybert family including Elizabeth, her mother Johanna, and brothers Jacob and Wendel emigrated in 1738 on the same ship "Davy" as did her future husband, Nicholas Hevener. The parents of Elizabeth were Christopher and Johanna or Johnnetta ( ? Seybert.Following the death of Christopher Seybert the widowed Johannare - married in Pennsylvania to Henry (Henrich) Lorentz. Henryand Johanna were 2 2 (3) Nicholas Hevener, son of AlexandriHevener and Catharina (Unk wife), was born 1707 in Hirschfeld,Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany, and married 1742/1743, (4)Anna Elizabeth Saybert who was born about 1719 in Bitzweiler, Wolfersweiler, Saarland, Germany. Nicholas died May 1769 in Brandywine, Pendleton County, West Virginia and was buried there. Anna Elizabeth died after 1786 in near Tulpehocken, Berks County, Pennsylvania and was buried in Trinity Reformed Church, Berks County, Pennsylvania, (Tulpehocken). Anna Elizabeth was also married to Christian Lauer.
