The Helm(s) Family of West Virginia by Way of Virginia
History of Preston County, by Oren Morton
Notes:
                   The History of Preston County states that George and his wife settled in Preston County around 1830.  He came to Preston County with his brother, John Marshall Helm, who were both saddlers by trade.

After Mary Stalnaker died in 1856, the children were "farmed out to various families in Preston County, and not one of his twelve children were living with George and his second wife, Catherine, in the 1860 census." (The Helm(s) Family of West  Virginia)
