History of Overton, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, C.F. Heverly
"Jacob Haverly moved to the Overton Basin (Heverlyville), after visiting his brother Phillip, with the idea of gaining his fortune. Jacob and his wife left Auburn, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania with a lumber wagon full of household goods and some horses. They reached the settlement in Feb. 1828 and took up residence with his brother and his family. In Clement F. Heverly's histories he quotes Jacob as saying, "When I came in the place there were not more than a hundred acres cleared in all. "Uncle Heverly" lived in a log house, near the residence of Widow Heverly; John Heverly lived down on the flats; Christian Heverly, on the Hausknechts place; Daniel Heverly, on the farm now occupied by his son, Daniel; Henry Heverly lived adjoining his brother Christian; Leonard Streevy lived opposite his brother-in-law, Daniel Heverly; and Henry Sherman lived below the Overton Village, near Black Creek. The winter of 1827-'28 was the mildest I ever witnessed with scarcely any snow, and much rain."
Jacob was the most successful farmer of the pioneers and always had more than enough. He was a man of wonderful physique, and cleared more acres than any other man in Heverlyville. Jacob was the first in the area to own a mowing machine, the "Wood." For about a year and a half he lived with his brother, Phillip, until he had a new plank house built. He remained there until his death.
Jacob was a man pleasant in demeanor and slow to anger, disclosing a strong and fearless will power when throughly aroused. He was frugal and none ever questioned his honesty. As a father he was kind and indulgent, and never was guily or improper language in the vicininty of his children. He was esteemed by his neighbors, enjoyed their confidence and was frequently called on by them to fill places of trust and honor. He originally belonged to the Democratic party, changed to the "Whig" in 1840, and became a Republican in 1856. He never missed a township or general election. The first election in Heverlyville (Overton) was held March 18, 1853, at the home of William Waltman, for the purpose of electing Township officiers. The Court appointed Jacob judge of this "special election" of which he says, "The day following the election I delivered the returns at the county-seat, making the trip on foot and returned the same day." During this election Jacob had been elected one of five school directors."

History of Overton, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, C.F. Heverly
Mary Dunmore Haverly was a woman weak in body but of stout heart. She was an exceptionally good lady of endearing qualities and womanly virtues. Her character was spotless and all spoke of her in words of praise. She was an ardent Christian, praying daily in her closet for privacy. She atteneded Sunday Services regularly, sometimes walking, but usually rode her pony, "Sal", taking a couple of children with her. "Mary Heverly was one of the best women I ever knew; she was of the salt of the earth. Her house was always a home for the ministers. My soul was sore with sadness when I was called to pronounce her eulogy." Auunt Charlotte Ormsby paid this tribute: "I loved to visit Mrs. Heverly; she was an excellent christian lady. She used to stop by the road-side when overcome by fatigue, and read her bible while on her road to meeting. She was not a strong woman." Mrs. Heverly took great interest in the rearing of her children, and instilled in their minds principles, which bring forth fruits.
