Notes:

Daniel K. Levan, "(The Levans are descendants of the Hugenots or French protestants and it is related that during the religious persecutions the family was almost killed out. A few of the males fled to Holland and Switzerland for safety.) progenitor of the Levans of this county, was a native of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where he was born in May, 1800. When pretty well advanced in his "teens" he commenced the life of a copper-smith, and after having served his apprenticeship of three years he was engaged in Skippack, Pottstown, and other places in Montgomery County until 1825 when he, in company with others, namely John Hoffman, Michael Eby, Samuel Horst, Mrs. Winger and family, all from Lancaster County, moved to Canada and settled in Waterloo County, Ontario. Mr. Levan located on a tract of land (now part of Berlin) situated opposite the Berlin High School, where he had a shop erected and commenced working on at his trade. (In going through the county one meets with a number of old copper kettles (in possession of the children of our pioneer settlers) made by Mr. Levan. Besides being a copper-smith, Mr. Levan also manufactured a number of door locks and latches which are still in use in our old houses and are yet almost as good as new.) He was united in marriage with Julia Sauers and after leaving Berlin they resided in different parts of the county where he worked at his trade until he was an old man. He died in Plattsville, Ontario, in November, 1877, and she died in Preston in 1885, aged 81 years. To them was born a large family"
