Another possibility would be that this is John Sr, that he remarried as an old man
to Elizabeth Titus. But seeing a John "single" in 1765, would seem to be this man.

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)

NJ side of the river.)

From History of Bucks County, pg 437:
Teunis Titus, son of Titus Syrachs and Jannetje Couverts, joined his mother in the
conveyance of his father's land at Flatlands, May 14, 1695, and removed to Newtown,
Long Island, where he resided until 1703, and at about that date removed to Mansfield,
Burlington county, New Jersey, from whence two of his sons, Francis and Jacob,
migrated to Bucks county about 1730.
