In the summer of 1727 Daniel LeVan embarked at Rotterdam in the good ship 'William and Sarah', Capatin William Hill. The ship touched port at Dover, England, and then started on the long voyage to Philadelphia, where it arrived early in September. There were upwards of 300 people on the ship, of which 117 were males over sixteen years of age, and of this numbere 62 were ill on board at the time of arrival, and four had died on the voyage. Those who were well signed the Declaration, one of which was Daniel LeVan on September 21, 1727.

He settled in Maxatawny Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania a mile or so from his brother Jacob of Eagle Point. He built his home over the hill from the present eastern terminus of the Borough of Kutztown.
In 1765 he enlarged his original homestead to double it's size and set up in business as proprietor of what was said to be the oldest hostelry in the eastern part of Berks County.

In one of the longest and most explicit wills imaginable, and drawn up by his nephew, Colonel Sebastian LeVan, Daniel left this property to his son Daniel. In 1788 it came into the possession of Susanna (LeVan) Kemp and her husband, Captain George Kemp of the American Revolution, who conducted it for 52 years. It is still (1927) owned and conducted by the Kemp descendants of Captain George and his wife Susanna.

It should also be noted that Easton Road, a main highway, passed close by LeVan Tavern, and with every probability, most of the noted characters of the revolutionary war, enroute to and from New York, remained overnight there. The Tavern was opened in 1740, and he operated it until his death in 1777.
