    - Note: there are several Ancestry Member Trees (and other sources) citing a birthdate of Jacob Helms in 1745 and his wife Mary Burton in 1748, but both of these dates are problematic considering their eldest son John was born in 1761, which would have made Jacob age 16 and his wife age only age 13, which is highly unlikely given the marriage customs of Colunial Virginia. Additional research is necessary.
