OK so how are you connected? My Helmers seemed to be in Fairfield, and Herkimer. Are they near Dolgeville or was that another part of the family? My family is Philip Helmer listed on the Census of 1710, his son Johan Adam (aka Adam) Helmer, his son Henry A. Helmer b. 1747, his son Leonard Helmer b. 16 Sep 1791 and married to Catharine Herder/Harter , their daughter Elizabeth /Betsy Helmer 2 Dec 1813 who married Francis Forbes b. abt 1812, their son John Forbes (born in Jefferson County, New York) 18 Jun 1839, his son Alexander Forbes b. in Elyria, Lorain, Ohio on 10 Sep 1874, etc. . . . My Bellingers are also connected through the Harters. My ancester Appolonia Bellinger (the daughter of Adam Bellinger) married Johan Frederick Harter on 13 Apr 1753. They were the parents of Johan Jacob Harter b. 14 May 1768, and he was the father of Catharina/Catharine Harter/Herder who married Leonard Helmer. I probably bore you with details. So are any of these directly related to you? Thanks for the note.
