Biography

This profile is intended to describe William Havens who became the spouse of Anna Packer. Nothing is yet evident on his ancestry, date and location of his birth. The birth place currently appearing in this profile, Groton, Connecticut, appears to be speculative on the presumption that he was from the same place as Anna Packer. The only evident clue as to his origin comes from the sole reference supporting his wife's profile, where he is described as of Long Island. There are two Find-A-Grave postings for William Havens who lived in Long Island, New York, during the timeframe described for Anna Packer, both buried at Presbyterian Church Burial Ground, Shelter Island, Suffolk County, New York, however both of them are described as having spouses of differently named women, not Anna Packer. Investigative procedures are recommended to ascertain the identity of this William Havens.
