He arrived with brother Abraham about 1715-1717. He settled in what is known as Jacksonwald, Exeter Twp., Berks Co., PA and was the most wealthy of his brothers owning over 1000 acres of land and numerous buildings in Reading. He married a lady named Margaret. He was a business associate of Conrad Weiser who was the intermediary between the authorities and the Indians in the area. With Weiser, Isaac secured the original property for the congregation of the oldest Reformed Church in Reading, PA. Isaac, Sr. made his will 12 June 1783 and proven on 3 August 1786. He died in Exeter Twp., near Reading, PA where he is said to have moved in 1770. ''Our line descends from Isaac LeVan, second son of Daniel and MarieBeau LeVan.'' (Source: manuscript compiled in 1964 by Mary GoodmanSignor (Mrs. Howard Signor), based on ''Genealogical Record of the LeVanFamily'' by Warren Patten Coon, 1927.) Isaac was born in 1700 in Amsterdam, Holland. He and his brothersJacob and Abraham arrived January 9, 1729 on the ship ''Mary Gamby''.Isaac died in 1783 in Exeter/Alsace Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. (Source: ''Annals of Oley Valley in Berks County,Pennsylvania'' by Rev. P.C. Croll.) Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph LeVan set out for Pennsylvania in1715. Isaac settled in what is now Jacksonwald, Exeter Township, BerksCounty. He was probably the most well-to-do of the four pioneer brothers, owning over 1000 acres of land, including numerous lots in Reading. He was associated in business with the celebrated Conrad Weiser of Reading and Womelsdorf, Pennsylvania, who, for so many years was interpreter and intermediary between the Pennsylvania authorities and the Indians, preventing many uprisings of the latter. Together, Weiser and Isaac LeVan secured the original property for the congregation of the oldest Reformed Church in Reading. Isaac's niece, Esther, daughter o fDaniel LeVan of Maxatawney Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, married Conrad Weiser's son, Benjamin, who lived in Heidelberg Township, BerksCounty, and Isaac's own daughter, Judith, married Samuel Weiser. No greater factor in the early settlement of Pennsylvania existed than Conrad Weiser, save William Penn, and it is of note how closely allied the Weiser and LeVan families were.'' (Source: ''Genealogical Record ofthe LeVan Family'' by Warren Patten Coon, 1927, Pages 8-9.) Written by Lawrence Goodman December 29, 1998, referring to the sourcescited. |
