Nancy, I was notified by Ancestry.com that you had sent an e.mail dated August 11, 2007 to me relative to the HELLEN connection of mine. I can't get into Ancestry.com to get your reply for some reason; Rootsweb doesn't show your response, even though it is Ancestry.com-related. Please contact me directly at FFFMoore@aol.com with your response to my Hellen descendants' query of Feb. 27, 2000. I would love to hear from you.

Helion

lmock1 — 2004-05-11 15:45:56Z

John Helion was possibly from Ireland and born about 1797. He died July 27, 1872 in Hartford Connecticut and is buried in St. Patricks Cemetery. He married a Marcella ? who was born approx. 1803 and died March 18, 1882 and is also buried in St. Patricks Cemetery.
They had at least 2 children, Margaret Helion (b. 1838)and Jason Helion.
Jason Married Mary Duffy and had Marcella Kate Helion (b. Sept. 2, 1875)
Margaret Helion married my GGGrandfather Lawrence Dolan.
Margaret died a month after the birth of William Dolan my GGrandfather (b. April 5, 1863) and is also buried in St. Patricks Cemetery in Hartford. If any body has further info or wants clarification please e-mail.

search of the origin of Helion continues

sphelion1 — 2004-03-15 16:40:16Z

Hello,
Long story short-
My name steve helion, what little I know is the same as you basically.
My fathers dad- Jerome John Helion was born in the Bronx.
We are pretty sure his father was born there also; John Helion.
Because of the now recent spelling, and layout of the name,
and what my grandfather had believed, we took it as Irish. Although distinguished from most English last names, the history goes a ways back.
Just recently since living on the East coast me and my wife visited Ellis Island, and a John D. Helion poped up in there records within the time span they were open and took in immigrants. I am not sure if it is Great gramps or not, and if so, with the potatoe famine, Irish fleeing, and what little I have learned about all traditional last names.... it is doubtful to me so far that it is Greek.
But I know my Surname is very rare, and old, hard to trace for the most part, and to our knowledge we are all related. So I tend to wonder if that man listed at Ellis is Great Gramps or not, wether the direct origion is from Greece or if it was the Potatoe Flee!
It would be great to hear from you some time Steven Helion

LEnzler6425 — 2003-12-19 20:51:11Z

Anyone have info on Thomas Hellen-1860 KS Federal Census Index/ listed as Mary E. wife and William 9-Altie 5. Could this have been a mistake and the name is really Kellen or did Thomas change his name later? Thomas was 30 born in Delaware. Mary was from Kentucky. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Hellen Family History

poohouse — 2002-07-13 00:27:29Z

William Hellen m Dorcas Johnson, sister of Thomas Johnson, 1st Governor of Maryland. I believe they eventually went to Fayette Country, PA (near Uniontown). There is a tombstone there, "Thomas Johnson - 1700". I think this was her father not her brother. The Hellen clan have a large area of the main cemetary in Uniontown which shows many names, etc. There is a smaller cemetary that dates back further than the main cemetary where the Johnson stone is. The Hellens were originally a family of sea captains and after the lost of William at sea, Dorcas halted anyone else from going to sea. The Hellens became quite wealthy but in the era of 1900 one of them took off to California with the wealth depriving everyone of their inheritance. My grandfather, Nathaniel Brownfield Frey, Sr, (dod, March 2, 1942) was in line for some of this inheritance.

I saw this ad in the "Good Old Days" magazine: "would like to hear from anyone with the last name Hellen. My maternal grandfather, John David Hellen, was born in Nova Scotia. He was the eldest, I believe, of a large family. I have never known of anyone with that last name who wasn't a relative. Hellen E. Ebert, P.O. Box 97, Somers MT 59932-0097"

Hellen Family In Ireland

2001-05-16 14:36:32Z

We live in Cork Ireland. For at least
the last 5 generations I am decended
from Hellen's living in south west
Cork, near the town of Skull.
Family lore is that we decended from
a French Hugenot named Hellen who
would have arrived in Ireland about 1690.
Our family has first names of Richard,
Francis ( Frank) which seem to be French
Robert would also be French I think.

There are perhaps 10 families with the
surname Hellen or Helen in south west
Ireland. Family lore indicates we decended
from a French Hugenot named Hellen who
migrated to Ireland around 1690.

Hellens everywhere

2001-03-04 20:23:55Z

I started out by looking for Hellens on Classmates.com. I have met a lot of them but none are related to me as of yet. I found Hellens all the way in England. I was born in Raleigh, NC 1-10-1947. My father was James Henry Hellen born 12-21-1894. Died Oct. 1969. I think my father had a brother. I believe that Bertha, Eugene and possibly Mattie Hellen are relatives. Sorry, I don't know much about my family.

My 3x great grandfather was Robert Hellen born in Cork, Ireland in 1816. Family moved to England about 1840s settled in London. My mother always believed the family were of Greek origin. Robert's son William born about 1848, was the father of my grandfather Roger born 1889. Ring any bells. Tailors by trade. Pat

Looking for any information on either William Edward HELLEN b.1895 or his brother Charlie Filo HELLEN b.1898. Both were born in Lake, Mississippi. Mothers name was Carrie GOODSON. I believe Charlie's family moved up around the St. Louis area. Williams family settled in Louisiana. Trying to extend family line beyond those two. Any information would be appreciated.

Re: Hellen history and Hellen relatives

Re: Hellen

2001-09-04 22:16:35Z

It may be that my family is linked to yours. I live in London, my Father, Andrew Hellen, was born in London and his brother still lives here also. My grandfather, Samuel Hellen, was also from London, I believe the Stoke Newington area of the East End. We too thought that the family was of greek descent but recently came across a small stately home in Herefordshire called "Hellens". Although this has been owned by a Swedish family since the time of the crusades it actually took its name from a very popular squire who came to run the estate in their absence, I think around the time of the crusades. He was from Jersey, and called "De Helion".

We never thought there was an Irish connection, but if there was a member of the Hellen family who moved to London in the 1840s, this may well be a connection. Can anyone possibly shed any light on this?

I have a very old book call "Dr. Hellen's Veterinary Receipt book". It is not dated but it has a picture of Dr. J.G. Hellen. It is also printed Minneapolis, Minnesota. I would like to know the birth date of Mr. Hellen. I am not related in anyway to the Hellen name.
