George Haven, born in New London, Connecticut on March 27, 1844, was the thirtieth Adjutant General of the State of Connecticut.
He was the son of Urbane and Sarah (Rogers) Haven.
Both were members of old Connecticut families.

He loved books, but with the rumors of war he joined the National Guard at the age of 17.
After being discharged on November 19, 1864, Haven returned home to New London and worked for the Wilson Manufacturing Company, with which he was connected for 18 years.
He left the employ of the Wilson Company at around 1886, and the next year went to work for the Quinnipiac Company.
In 1888 he was appointed Chief of police of New London.
