ISRAEL HAVILAND, son of James (90) and Anne (Honeywell) Haviland, b. Purchase, N. Y., March 12, 1765; d. of apoplexy, Oct. 23, 1819; buried Christ Churchyard, Ann Street, New York City; m. in the old Dutch Church in New York, on Oct. 12, 1788, Jane, daughter of Abraham and Susan (Burgher) Anderson, b. New York City July 5, 1769; d. Feb. 7, 1857.

In 1780 he was bound out by his mother, Anne, to a shoemaker for four years and six months, to be taught the mysteries of the trade and to have his board, washing and clothes, and at the end of that time a suit of new clothes and a set of shoemaker’s tools. This bond was in existence in 1895.

From an old letter the following is quoted: “My grand-mother, in 1847, said that James, the father of Israel, was a spend-thrift, that he married two wealthy women and spent their money so that his children had to learn trades.” (A fireman’s certificate of 1794, belonging to Israel, will be found reproduced in this book.) Israel became a boot and shoe manufacturer, with store in New York City, at 123 Water Street.
