That suggests the Roman Catholic church and I'd bet the farm there were none in that County at that time. I do know that there was no "Heckington" in NC. This sounds like it might be in Lincolnshire, England, rather than the US. In fact I just took the time to look at the IGI entry and it clearly says Heckington, Lincoln, England. Sorry, but you are searching in the wrong country. If this still seems to be your family, you can order those parish records in through the Family History Center nearest you, they can have more info in them, but that is a variable. Good luck
