To Susie Lemin and others interested: Sarah Helm, the next to the last name you listed, was my gg grandmother. She was born as early as 1807 and married Isaac Robertson in Overton (today Fentress) Co, TN. Her eldest child John HELM Robertson was born in 1824. Sarah and Isaac and some other HELMs including Susannah (Hackler) HELM moved to Illinois around 1830 and were in Lafayette Co by the late 1830's. Sarahs other children were: Lewis C ROBERTSON b 1826 TN Stockley ROBERTSON b 1828 " Solomon ROBERTSON b 1830 IL Isaac ROBERTSON b 1833 " Moses ROBERTSON b 1833 " Elizabeth ROBERTSON b 1835 WI Julia Anna ROBERTSON b 1837 " Adam ROBERTSON b 1840 " my g grandfather Jonathan ROBERTSON b 1843 " Sarah ROBERTSON b 1847 " You can find a complete and well-researched Helm tree at www.geocities.com/Heartland/Praire/8712/helm.html or via Familysearch.com I for my part wonder if anyone knows about the descendants of the above ROBERTSONS other than Adam. Or even better, where was Isaac ROBERTSON born and who were his parents?
