    From Chris:
    In Bucks County Deed Book 23, pages 354-355, dated 17 May 1787, there is a
    land transfer in Northampton Twp. between John Leedom and John & Elizabeth
    Hellings. Apparently John and Elizabeth Hellings died before the transfer of
    title was officially recorded, so their children and grandchildren had to
    sign offon it. I presume this is John Hellings, son of Nicholas, and his
    wife Elizabeth Dungan. Their heirs are listed as "Thomas Hellings, John
    Hellings, the said Hannah Hellings & Jonathan Hellings, their children, and
    John Perkins, Henry Slack & Ruth his wife, late Ruth Perkins, their
    grandchildren..."

    Then, in Deed Book 26, pages 305-306, dated 7 Jan 1792, it is recorded that
    Thomas Hellings, John Hellings, Jonathan Hellings, John Perkins, and Henry &
    Ruth Slacktransferred their part of that land over to Hannah Hellings.
    This names Thomas's wife, Rebecca, John's wife Elizabeth, and Jonathan's
    wife Martha.

    So I'm interpreting this as very strong evidence that John Hellings and
    Elizabeth Dungan were the parents of the John Hellings who married Elizabeth
    Titus (as well as the parents of Thomas, Hannah, Jonathan, and probably a
    daughter who married a Perkins), because we know John Hellings and Elizabeth
    Titus were the right age and in the right location, and there are no other
    known John Hellings's with a wife named Elizabeth.

    #####
    a John Hellins listed on the CD 144, Loyalists of the Revolutionary War. Info is:
    One listing for John Hellins found in Loyalists in the Southern Campaign, vol 1,
    Camden South Carolina Militia . He was listed as a Sergeant under Col. John
    Phillips Regiment, Jackson's Creek militia , Camden District SC Capt. George
    Platt's Company. Dated June 1781.(probably a different John - I hope!)


    ##### Other info
    what about James (est) in 1762 tax, Northampton?
    what about Mary married William Mannington, 1766 at Low Dutch Ref, Southampton?

    note, 1784 tax list has an Elizabeth Hellings, Southampton Twp, 1A, 1house, 3 whites

    ##### Old speculations
    I've put the Northampton area Hellings under John for now... It's interesting that the
    names correlate well with the brothers of Elizabeth Dungan when grouped this
    way. (note that later, Chris found land records substantiating much of my
    guesswork!)

    I'm guessing on the dates of their deaths (and location being Northampton Twp)
