From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Habor
     the united stream, or, according to others, with beautiful
     banks, the name of a river in Assyria, and also of the district
     through which it flowed (1 Chr. 5:26). There is a river called
     Khabur which rises in the central highlands of Kurdistan, and
     flows south-west till it falls into the Tigris, about 70 miles


     above Mosul. This was not, however, the Habor of Scripture.
     
       There is another river of the same name (the Chaboras) which,
     after a course of about 200 miles, flows into the Euphrates at
     Karkesia, the ancient Circesium. This was, there can be little
     doubt, the ancient Habor.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
