Revolutionary War Soldier

"...George Helms may have come from Bethlehem, Bucks County, Pennsylvania to North Carolina with brothers Tilman and Jonathan. A grant was issued to Jonathan 4 April 1750 in Anson County, North Carolina. Jonathan, George and Tilman were listed together on the 1763 Tax List of Anson County."

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."
