Samuel HELMAN

(17 Mar 1805 - 20 Apr 1892)

There are four letters written during the Civil War from Daniel Helman and I. S. Helman (Isaaac S.), sons of Samuel Helman, to their cousin, Josiah Helman, son of George Helman and Polly Miller. These letters help to prove that Samuel Helman and George Helman were brothers. The letters also mention Daniel Repplogel, husband of Mary Helman (a daughter of the above George Helman); Jacob Helman, a brother of Daniel and I. S. Helman (sons of Samuel Helman), and Amos Miller, related to them through their grandfather John Daniel Helman who married Elizabeth Sell (a brother of John Sell). The letter dated 7 June 1864 from Daniel Helman to Josiah Helman asks about "uncle" (Josiah's father, George Helman). This gives a date that George Helman was still living.

These letters are available online throught the Civil War collection at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Indiana, Pennsylvania.
