He married Mary Sophia Propst on August 2, 1795 in Pendleton County, Virginia.
After the settlement of his father Jacob Havener's estate in Pendleton County, Virginia, Nicholas Havener, in 1815, came towhat is now Upshur County and purchased of George Jackson, 400 acres of land on Buckhannon River, lying partly in Harrison and partly in Randolph Counties, including former site of "Bush Fort," near which his residence was erected. Only a few traditions concerning he and his gentle wife have survived the years, which if
only partially true, would suggest as one who knew him said, "That he was a jolly Dutchman whose laugh could be heard a quarter of a mile, whose hospitality was unbounded, and cellar always full of the finest peach and apple brandy." Another old and very close
friend of his, some years ago in conversation with the writer on this subject, remarked that Nicholas never considered his whole duty to a guest performed unless on their departure he presented them with a souvenir of their visit, which in connection with the fine brandy may at least partially explain his excessive popularity. He and his wife, Mary Propps Heavner, reared a large family of daughters and two sons, Elias and Jacob. Nicholas Heavner died August 3, 1843, his wife, Mary Propps Heavner, died May 19, 1843.

DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Nicholas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Nicholas:
