| NOTES
1.
Conforming to Gerald's book, this is the Geo Helms to Mary Margaret
Fortenbury marriage. The marriage place was probably in NC, when the
children started to arrive.
2. As is well known, the names of German Immigrates were often
misspelled, and Falkenburg is no exception. In the case of Henry
Falkenburg (sp Valchenburgh) there is an item in Land Records of Cecil
Co MD No 3, (1715-1722) which states:
"Lease - Ephram Augustine Herman to Clement Barkston land part
of Bohemia Manor, opposite the lands of Hugh Watson and William Barkaton
and by land formerly held by Henry Valchenburgh, Lease is for 3 natural
lives of Clemet Barkston and his wife Catherine and Catherine Dare,
eldest dau. of Wm Dare, Jr. Rents of one pound 10 shillings and
two dunghill fowls to be paid on 23 Nov, yearly. Made 6 Dec 1726.
Witness Elizabeth Collyer, Jophn Hollet, Rec 30 June 1719 S; Knight,
Clerk.
3.
The numbers in the Lancaster, SC census list tell of the family composition
by sex and age. The last two zeros tell of the number of slaves-like
none. The 024 is the page number. I forget the order and exact ages
but it is M, F, adults, then M, F children. Looks like they all had
excess (13) grown daughters or aunts etc., and a number of sons. I see
55 people altogether in SC 1790. That's quite a family group. Their
presence in SC may say they had escaped Helms Marriages in NC , (with
the exception of Mary Margaret). It also says the Helms stuck with NC
for the moment. I don't know where and when that shift for some to the
Fortenburg/berry spellings began. That centers in Mississippi, as I
recall.
4.
