Abraham DeHaven was listed on a document entitled "Runaway Servants, Convicts, and Apprentices, 1728-1796 for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The date of publication of this document was April 28, 1768, and it shows Abraham's "master" as John Sharer. The document reads as follows:

Abraham Dehaven, 19L, 9 days, Tuesday, 2 pounds, 5'-6-7". He was 19 years old at the time and perhaps the 2 pounds referred to a reward for his return. Another document showed that Abraham arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from Canada in 1768 and was 19 years old at the time of his arrival. It mentions a source publication with an annotation: "Date of newspaper advertisement and place of master's residence. Extracted from copies of the paper reprinted by The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, The Pennsylvania Gazette, 1728-1789."

NOTES:

• Probably at Valley Forge with Ellis family that intermarried with this family. Ellises died at Valley Forge.
• [S16]   Riherd Family, Shelley T. Riherd, (published 1996), pg 261 "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."
