April 1712, Pennsylvania

April 29, 1712- Jacob Op den Graeff and Annaken DeHaven are married in the Dutch Reformed Church in Bensalem, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They were married by Rev. Paulus Van Vlecq who recorded the bride's name as Anneken ten Heuven. The records of the Bensalom Dutch Reformed Church in then Bucks County say:  "Married April 29, 1712 - Jacob op de graef, young man born in Jermantown and now residing at Schipack and Annchen ten heuven, young woman born at Willem aen der Roer."
