                   May also have gone by Johannes, but he was Christened as John.

                   Her parents were listed as Peter and Catharine. Her sponsors were Abraham and Susanna Trostel.
Abraham Trostel was the executor (along with Anna Gertraut) of Mathias' will.

There is a Mary Heilmann who is married to a David Spahr - but this mary Heilmann was born 2 Jan 1791 in York. She died 16 Mar 1879 in Carlisle Springs, Cumberland, PA. I don't think that this is ours. Its doesn't match our birth and death dates.
                  

                   Also known as Johan Heinrich. He was christened as John Henry (maybe it was Johan Henrich - I also saw this one) . His parents were listed as Peter and Catharina. His sponsors were Henry and Margaret Jessler (Heinrich and Margaretha).

1860 - living in West Manchester with Lydia. He was a day laborer.  Went by Henry.

Not 100% sure about this one. There is another Henry Heilman, born 4 Mar 1793 inYork, married to a Lydia. This Henry was the son of John Philip Heilman and Marie Dorothy.  One World tree has these as the parents of Leah, Levi. William, andEmanuel.
Aug 19 2008 - probably not ours. He should have been 68 in the 1860 census, not 67. That matches the other one.
1850 census had him as 55 or 58 - if its 58, that would support our Henry.


Possibly another child named Amanda, married to a Daniel Karn.

                   She was sponsored at her baptism by her grandparents Matthias and Gertrude Graeff. One place they are listed as Mathias Graf and Gertherautha Graf. Here she is named Elizabetha.
There is an Elizabeth Henry, wife of John, died jul 11 1836, aged 42 - 10 - 18, at Emmanuel Reformed.
This may be her. I used these dates.
I also had a death date of Feb 1839.

**** Her mother is named MARIA  CATHARINE HEILMAN Dispels the Anna Maria wifeof Peter Heilman rumors.

On the church record she is Elisabetha Heilman.
                  

                   I got this from Wolf's records. She is listed as Sarah Heuman, but her parents are Catherine and Peter, and her sponsor is Gertrude Graeff. (Mathias had died bythis time). Another record of the same event has her as Heilman. Some records say 1795, some 1796.
                  

                   Her parents are listed as Peter and Catharine. She was sponsored by John and Julianna Graf.
                  

                   1850 - living in Paradise, with Eliza (wife), Julia,Peter, Daniel and Rebecca.
1860 census, he was living with Lisa (??? ELizabeth) and Julian (Julia???) next to Peter and Eli. He was a farmer.
I saw and photographed his headstone.
Headstone says: Hileman, Peter, Dec 2, 1868,  69 - 11- 28.
One place also has his birthplace as Pidgeon Hills.
                  

                   Harry Senft had birthdate of 18 Apr 1801 York, PA.

                   Strine Family of York, PA, is where I got this info. Not sure about this.
THere is an Eli Heilman, born about 1804, who was a day laborer who lived aroundor with the Mauls in 1860. There is a Rutens Grafe born about 1798, who lived around the same place, he was a day laborer also. This was in Paradise township, very close to where alot of Maria Catherine Graff's relatives lived.
