• Notes

  Name Suffix: Senior 1783 tax list, Middletown, John Hellings (est) $1.19.0 http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabucks/middletowntax1783.html John Hellings married Eliz Dungan 9/17/1732 at First Presby, Phila (or 12/24/1732?) note: will of Thomas Dungan 1758/59 Northampton Twp, mentions decd daughter Elizabeth Hellings will of Sarah Fitrey of Northampton Twp 1759/60 mentions cousin John Hellings (Sarah is his wife's father's sister (aunt)) at Swedes Church, Philadelphia http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/pa/philadelphia/church/pass8-11.txt 1756, March 7, Heulings, Elizabeth, and Jacob Perkins. http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=hellingsfamily&id=I0151 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)
