George Wallis Haven (1808-1895) was a banker and scholar who resided in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He graduated from Dartmouth Phi Beta Kappa in 1828, and received a law degree from Harvard in 1835. Haven served as a director of the Rockingham Bank for forty years, during which time he frequently lectured in Portsmouth. Ralph Waldo Emerson was a personal friend of Haven--Haven's sister Susan married Emerson's brother William in 1838--and on at least two occasions (November 20, 1838 & February 10, 1850) Emerson stayed with Haven in Portsmouth. George Haven died in Portsmouth on August 9, 1895.
