From the research I've been doing on this family (direct for my son on his dad's side), the parents of brothers George, Jonathan and Tilman Helms are unknown and the parents connected to them on Geni and other sites are giving speculative lineages and pathways:

See the documents I've added to the Media tab on this George's profile from the LDS church from this link:

Also, nothing I've found documents a middle name for George.

This info from Wiki indicates there are errors and speculation on these lines that are getting perpetuated in trees and online sites like here on Geni:

Research Notes
The following is from a family researcher trying to sort fact from fiction regarding the Helms Family. The matter in question is whether or not John and Anne were the parents of George, Tilman and Jonathan. An early source (cited below) suggests that the parents of these three men were unknown.

"So far, there is no evidence of any John Issac Helms. Bessie Conkwright wrote a book about the Leonard Helms family of Virginia. Col. Rogers was impressed with her work on the Helms so he commissioned her to research the George Helms of NC family. Bessie had just gotten started on the research when she died. She had found Helms in Bucks County but they were there closer to 1790 and are not the NC family. There were no records for any "John Helms" in NC until about 1775. Those "John records were for Blackhead John and Whitehead John, the sons of George and Tilman. There was a 1749 land record for Jonathan Helms who was probably the brother of George and Tilman. Anna Maria Tilghman, daughter of Richard, was born about 1709 and married William Hemsley about 1735. William died in 1736 and Anna had their son, William in 1736 or 1737. He inherited all his father property and grew up to be the Governor of Maryland. The dates for Anna kind of fit if she had a previous marriage we dont know about. She remarried Robert LLoyd of Maryland. So you can see what a mes this Helms genealogy is."

In light of all this, I think it would be best to disconnect the proven brothers from speculative parentage to help prevent further perpetuation of the unproven connections. They can always be connected to any proven parents in the future if new documentation comes to light.
