Notes:

dates from tombstone according to internet records:

the will of Rachel Hellings, widow of Teunis mentions:
"To my Daughter Margaret who married Thomas Vanhorn to have one tenth
part of the real and Personal Estate only the life Right and at her Death
to be given to her Daughter Mary Ann Hellings".

(was Mary Ann the right name? or was this a daughter before being married to Thomas?)
(or a daughter who died young?)
(or Ann Ettinger who showed up in 1850?)

Other records confirm Rachel Helling's mention of the out-of-wedlock
children of her kids. Don't know who was the father of Mary Ann, but the
"spouse" I have listed as DontKnow was not really married to Margaret in 1838.

Notes:

death date from Christian Hellings
from Bucks County Intelligencer Death Notices

Mary Ann Hellings.
It says she died on 3 Dec 1849, at the residence of her uncle Nathan in
Middletown, and she was "about 20 years old". This is in the 11 Dec 1849

Also from Chris:
Also, there is a gravestone at the Tullytown Cemetery (among other
descendents of Tunis) for a Mary Ann Hellings, and I remember it was very
hard to read. In my notes, I wrote the death date as Dec1819, but there's
a chance it was 1849. Anyway, the gravestone says her age at death was 21
yrs, 1 mo, 21 days (although this was hard to read also).
