Misc. Notes
George Heller (1783-1864), Jacob's second child and eldest son, lived in Plainfield Township, in or near Belfast. George is the first of this line of whom there is a likeness known to be in existence. A daguerreotype portrait of him is in the possession of William John Heller, as is also his family Bible — a large English Bible, in which the Apochrypha is included, published in 1825 at Philadelphia by H. C. Carey and I. Lea, publishers, in which were faithfully kept comprehensive genealogical records. The first records were entered by George, later by others, finally by his son Samuel. The entries made by George state that he is a son of Jacob and his wife Susanna. It also gives his marriage record and the records of his children's births, marriages, etc. His records are all fully substantiated by the church records of Plainfield township church, as shown by the published translation by Rev. Henry Martyn Kieffer, D.D., pastor of the church, 1902. On May 4, 1806, George married Susanna Appel (1785-1833), widow of Philip Appel, daughter of David Beidelman. He is buried in Dryland Cemetery at Hecktown.
