Bruce,
Here's what I have:Col. Michael Haverstick (the title came from the fact that he held a Colonel's commission during the war of the Revolution) or Haberstick, or Haberstuck, the Progenitor of the Haversticks of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was a native (as near as we can learn) of a town in the Palatinate called Deaux-Ponts (or in German Zweibreineken) Rhennish Bavaria, Germany.
He was born in 1718 and came to America on the ship Europa, commanded by Capt. Lunsdain from Rotterdam, landing at Philadelphia, Penna., November 17, 1741 and was qualified Nov. 20, 1741, taking the oath of allegiance to King George II of Great Britain.
At this time he was 23 years of age (See Penna. Archives, Col. 17, 2nd series, P. 225 & 226).He was naturalized in Lancaster, Pa., April 7, 1751 (see Penna. Archives, Vol. 2, 3nd series, P. 326).
He was twice married.First to Miss Sarah ???.Second to Miss Maria Salome Rauscher.He was a resident of Conestoga Twp., Lancaster Co., where he owned and farmed a large tract of land between Wabank and New Danville on the Conestoga Creek.
He was the father of six (6) sons and four (4) daughters, viz:William, Jacob, Michael, Rudolph, John, Matthias, Mary Elizabeth, Barbara, Catharine and Ann Mary.
His daughter Mary Elizabeth married Capt. Jacob Wilhelm (see Will in Register of Wills office, Lancaster, dated July 1, 1790 and probated March 7, 1793).
His farm comprised 250 acres and was valued in 1780 at 4500 lbs.Values upon other property were six horses at 1000 lbs., 10 cows at 1000 lbs., and one Negro valued at 500 lbs.(see History of Lancaster County by Ellis and Evans, P. 1008).
