Leonard Helm sold 500 acres in Stafford County. | "Helm Family of Kentucky and Indiana" |
| 1739 Jul. 20 | Leonard Helm sold to John Madden (his son-in-law) 173 acres there. | Northern Neck Patent Book 1726-1729, VA. Land Office Deed Book. D 172, Deed Book 5 525-7. Prince William County. |
| About 1740 | Leonard Helm probably moved to Frederick County, Va. | "Helm Family of Kentucky and Indiana" |
| 1745 Dec. 5 | The will of Leonard Helm was probated in Frederick County, VA.
It mentions children: Meredith, Leonard, Mayberry, Joseph, Christopher
(a doubtful son) , and youngest daughter, Bridget. (Cartmell erroneously
has her name as Madison rather than Madden.).
The will provides that Edward Broughton live with my son, Meredith, until 15. This same manuscript shows similar data for Leonard's sons: Meredith, Mabry-Mabrie-Mayberry, and Joseph. Data for the others is uncertain, and requires further study. Leonard, in his will, called Bridget "my youngest daughter", as stated by Cartmel. |
