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]

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).
