  11. ↑ John Gunder sent me a copy of his copy which I have attempted to transcribe partly:
    "In the name of the father of all, I John Adam Heller of Jackson township, Crawford county Ohio to make in published this my last will and testament. manner and form following:
    Item first: is my will that all my just debts, funeral expenses cost of grave stone, and the probate of this my last will be first fully paid out of my estate.

    Is also my will and wish that my estate be settled up without administration for which purpose I enjoin on my children as soon as possible after my death they meet together and make amicable division of my estate and property after paying my debts and expenses aforesaid. And yet they cannot agree on such division or can not all come together for this purpose...
    I have sold my mill property to my son Elijah Heller, John Biltz and Elvis Biltz And I hold their notes for part of the purchase money. Should said mill property be injured or destroyed by a lightning or fire is my will that a deduction be made from said notes in favor of said Elijah Heller of such amount as will make him hole for his portion of the loss.

  12. ↑ "Mifflin Township: The township is bounded on the north by Northumberland County, East by Lykens Township, south by Washington Township, and on the west by Upper Paxtang Township. The Mahantango mountains run the entire length of the upper part of the Township, the Mahantango Creek, the Northumberland County boundary, being at the foot of the north side. The township is well watered, and there are very many fine productive farms. Much of the history of the township is identified with the history of the Lykens Alley proper; that which may have transpired during the eventful areas of the countries existence will be found in other portions of this work. It contains two important towns, Berrysburg and Uniontown. Berrysburg is situated on the road leading from Millersburg through Lykens into Schuylkill County, thirty-five miles from Harrisburg. It was incorporated into a borough December 14, 1869. The town was laid out by John Adam Heller and December, 1819, who owned a large tract of land, including the present town and a farm adjoining, now owned by Daniel Romberger. Heller was a pioneer family in the valley, but removed in 1839 to Sugar Valley, and subsequently to Ohio. John Paul, Jr., surveyed the town for Heller, who called it Berrysburg, from the mountain named Berry's, lying in the vicinity, but for many years went by the name of the proprietor." [Hellertown]

    And then again we find him mentioned:
    Washington Township: "Upon the petition of inhabitants of Mifflin Township asking for a division of that Township, the court, on the third of September, 1845, issued an order to three commissioners to you and report on the propriety of granting the prayer of said petition, who reported that in their opinion a division of said Township was Mrs., and that they had laid off the following petition of the same, to be called Washington,... The Lutheran and Reformed church was erected in 1833 by the joint labors of the Salem Lutheran and Reformed congregations. It was built of stone by John Adam Heller, for $300"[Thus in the year 1833, this church was, at the time it was built, located in what was then know as Mifflin township]
