HAVEN, Solomon George, lawyer, b. in Che- nango county, N. Y., 27 Nov., 1810 ; d. in Buffalo, N. Y., 24 Dec, 1861. His early life was spent in working on his father's farm. He obtained a good common -school education, studied the classics under a private tutor, and began a course in medi- cine. This was soon abandoned for the law, and at the age of eighteen years he entered the office of Gov. John Young, of Geneseo, teaching during the winter months to gain the necessary funds. In 1835 Mr. Haven removed to Buffalo, and completed his studies in the office of Fillmore and Hall. In May of the same year he was admitted to practice, and in January, 1836, became a partner with his preceptors in the firm of Fillmore, Hall and Haven. This relation existed several years, and until each member of the firm had attained national reputa- tion. Mr. Haven filled the offices of commissioner of deeds, district attorney of Erie county, and mayor of Buffalo. He was chosen to congress as a Whig, and served three terms, in 1851-'7, exerting extended influence at an important and critical period of the history of the country.

HAVENS, James, clergyman, b. in Mason county, Ky., 25 Dec, 1763 ; d. in Indiana in No- vember, 1864. He was licensed to preach in 1781, and in 1820 joined the itinerant ministry in the Ohio conference. He was one of the founders of Methodism in the northwest, especially in Indiana, where the last forty years of his life were spent.

HAVESTAD, Bernhard, German missionary, b. in Cologne in 1715 ; d. in Miinster in 1778. He became a member of the Jesuit order, and in 1748 was ordered as a missionary to Chili. He remained twenty years in the missions of Concepcion, and ex- plored the country in parts that were until then en- tirely unknown, pushing as far as lat. 49° S., and visiting the unsubdued tribes of Araucanians, Guaycurus, Huilliches, and Pehuenches. As he spoke fluently the Chilidugu, a dialect used by the traders with the Indian tribes, he had an opportu- nity to gather valuable information about the cus- toms, statistics, and natural history of the abo- rigines. When the expulsion of the Jesuits was decreed on 29 June, 1768, Havestad was arrested and returned to Germany, where he published "Chilidugu, sive res Chilenses" (2 vols., Miinster, 1777). This work is now very rare.
