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))

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)

John married Elizabeth DUNGAN 24 Dec 1732, First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co, PA. Elizabeth (daughter of Thomas DUNGAN and Mary DRAKE) was born Abt 1713; died Abt 1757, Northampton Twp, Bucks Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

(Biographical Publishing Company, Bucks Co, pg 33)
The great-grandfather of our subject, John Hellings, was born about 1752, and
resided in Bristol township, where he was engaged in farming. He was supervisor
and filled many township offices. He was twice married, his first wife being Anna
Bennett, by whom he reared five children: two sons, John and Samuel; and three
daughters. His second marriage was with Hannah Bowman, a daughter of Daniel
Bowman, and they raised three sons and five daughter, namely Tunis; Jonathan;
Mary; Lucretia (Mrs.Paxton), now residing at Bristol; Katherine; Martha; and Hannah.
The family were members of the Christian Church at Tullytown, inthe building of
which in 1822 John Hellings was largely instrumental. He died about 1837, while
his wife died in 1852.

Tunis Hellings, the grandfather of our subject, was a native of Middletown township,
and he reared the following children: John; Jacob; Nathan; Tunis; Margaret;
Mary; Rachel; and Elizabeth. He died in 1811. [but Tunis, s/o John of Bristol
was born 3 Mar 1818! seemsto be cross of two Tunis Hellings]

Jacob Hellings, the youngest child born to his father, was born in Middletown
township, in 1811; he was a farmer in early life, but later went ot Bridesburg,
Philadelphia County, where he conducted the old Arsenal Hotel for a period of
twenty years; he then moved to Philadelphia, and located on Second
street, between Race and Vine streets, and there conducted a hotel a short time.
This proving a failure, as he lost about $100.00 per month, he moved in 1859 to
Middletown Cross Roads, then known as Helling's Cross Roads; he purchased
the tavern located there, and conducted the same until his death, which occurred
Jan 27, 1879. etc. etc.

He was married to Elizabeth Hunter, who was born in this county in 1814, and
they were blessed by the following children: Lewis J.; Rachel, the wife of William
C. McEuen; Nathan died young; Jacob A.; James P., our subject; and Sarah F.,
the wife of the late Howard Roberts. etc etc.

James P. born 2 Oct 1848 in White Hall, Philadelphia County, Pa.

on pg 312:
John Hellings, the grandfather of our subject, was born about 1752, and resided
in Bristol township the major part of his days, engaged in the cultivation of the soil.
He was a very prominent man of his day, serving as supervisor of the town, and
holding many other township offices. His first was was Anna Bennett, by whom
he reared two sons, John andSamuel, and three daughters. His
second wife was Hannah Bowman, a daughter of Daniel Bowman, and this
union resulted in the advent of three sons and five daughters,
namely: Jesse; Tunis; Jonathan; Mary; Lucretia; Katherine; Martha; and Hannah.
Lucretia is now Mrs. Paxson, and lives in Bristol, Pa. Mr. Hellings and family were
prominent members of the Christian Church at Tullytown, andhe was one of the
organizers of that society and had charge of the erection of the church in 1822.
He died in March, 1837, while his wife died in 1852.

Jesse Hellings, the father of our subject, was born in Bristol township in 1812, and
spent his entire life on the old homestead, having purchased a part of the interests
of the heirs upon the death of his mother. etc.

His wife was Elizabeth La Rue, of Falls township, born in 1815,

held an annual camp-meeting in one of the pleasant groves of the
township, holding it in Jacob Hellings' woods in 1804. The congregation
felt numerous and strong enough by 1810 to erect a church, and a house was
built that year on a lot given by Joseph Rodman.

Jacob married Charlotte RODMAN 24 Aug 1800, First Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co, PA. Charlotte was born Abt 1780, PA; died Bef Nov 1812, Bucks Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

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.

Jacob Hellings, the youngest child born to his father, was born in Middletown
township,in 1811; he was a farmer in early life, but later went to Bridesburg,
Philadelphia County, where he conducted the old Arsenal Hotel for a period of
twentyyears; he then moved to Philadelphia, and located on Second
street, between Race and Vine streets, and there conducted a hotel a short time.
This proving a failure, as he lost about $100.00 per month, he moved in 1859 to
Middletown Cross Roads, then known as Helling's Cross Roads; he purchased the
tavern located there, and conducted the same until his death, which occurred
Jan 27, 1879. etc. etc.

He was married to Elizabeth Hunter, who was born in this countyin 1814, and they
were blessed by the following children: Lewis J.; Rachel, the wife of William C.
McEuen; Nathan died young; Jacob A.; James P., our subject; and Sarah F.,

Notes:

Martha had died before her stepmother. Her husband's estate:

OC file 6693,Francis White, Middletown, Died Jun 1850
mentions children Ann Elizabeth and Lucretia Matilda, over 14.
six children: Rachel Clevenger, Francis, John, Nathan B., Lucretia Matilda
and Ann Elizabeth.

Rachel's will mentions grandchildren:
John White, Francis White, Rachel Clevenger so it would seem they
are the only children of Martha.

Since Rachel's will gives out ten parts to ten kids, but omits Martha's kids, I
wonder if Rachel wasn't really a child of Tunis Hellings and a first earlier
wife.

Martha married Francis WHITE 15 Aug 1810, Bucks Co, PA. Francis was born Abt 1790; died Jun 1850, Bucks Co, PA. [Group Sheet]
