Tax List "A" and visited on 05/23/1787. James Haven m. Sarah Miller, 3-4-1790, Greene Co. TN per Sistler. James Havens and Sarah Havens were, on 9 May 1801, witnesses to will of John Maxwell, Jefferson Co. TN which mentions Maxwell's sister Margaret Morrow, etc., and has codicil dated 18 Jul 1807. Source Tennessee Cousins by W. S. Ray. Richard Haevin is name on monument to 1740s German settlers in Virginia frontier. Perhaps Richard Sylvester McHaffie was named for a Richard Heavin, but Mary Kegley in Early Adventurers states that the Heavin/Haven families came to area ca 1770, although John Sr. in ca 1739 was in New Kent Co. MD. Part of Inscription: Site of St. Peter's Evangelical Lutheran Church 1750-1885 St. Peter's was the first church west of the Alleghanies and the Third Lutheran Church in Virginia. Its original members were pioneers who, having suffered religious persecutions, had come from the Palatinate in Germany to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, September 5, 1738, thence to and around the Horse Shoe Bottoms on New River. The sites of the New River German families were omitted on the Fry-Jefferson Map of Virginia [1755]. Sites of the homes of many of the very early settlers are shown on maps in books by F. B. Kegley and Lewis Preston Summers. Several Heavins lived in vic. Knox Co. TN in early 1800s, and it is likely Polly/Mary is of one of those families, but I believe there are ties with the Montgomery Co. Virginia Heavins, just as there are close ties between the McHaffies found in Knox Co. TN and Montgomery Co. Virginia in ca 1804. From McHaffie given names we might suppose links to William or Richard Haven son of John the son of John "Sr." the immigrant, and prob. to Joseph Burk. Cf. Haven; also Joseph B. McHaffie. William was in Wattersons Dist, 1785. Joseph Hovens in 1802 Knox Co. TN sold land to Burton Graves per Tennessee Cousins. John Haven, Feb. 4, 1775, had "176 acres Sugar Tree Bot'm, W. N.
