Abraham died in early 1771 as his will which was written on September 13, 1770, was probated on April 8, 1771. The will disposed of 328 acres of land, athat being the total area acquired by the two 1767 deeds. As Abraham was a British Colonial soldier, his death in 1771 spared him the probable frustration he would have experienced when the Colonies left England in the revolution.
The will of Abraham DeHaven is recorded in Will Book A, p. 298, in Loudon County Records. It leaves his new house with 21 acres, household goods, a mare, and two cows to this wife, Rebecca. The other land was divided to his sons: Jesse, Jacob, Abraham Jr., and Isaac. Other bequests were to daughters: Rebecca, Sarah, Elizabeth, Hannah, and Ann.
