Jesse Heaven, Philadelphia, PA
My uncle's name was Jesse Heaven. He lived in Philadelphia, Pa. on Tackawanna Street. I imagine he was born about 1898. My mother ( Marjorie Heaven) was the oldest of that family, and she was born 1894. They were the descendants of a Bridget Murray from County Cork, Ireland. Bridget Murray married a man from America when she arrived here about 1839 from County Cork, Ireland at the age of 17. She married a man named Edward McClarnen. I don't know the date of the marriage. He had two children. I believe they were boys. She then proceeded to have three girls. One of which was my grandmother. Her name was Catherine Mc Clarnen. She in turn married a James Heaven. They had six children. My mother was a product of that marriage. My mother was the oldest. Her name was Marjorie Heaven. It's possible that we are related somehow. Thanks for the information. This pursuit of my family tree is somehow fruitful at times, and this is one of those times. Thanks again.
