The below info does show that there was a Conrad Heffner in Greenwich Twp., Berks Co., PA in the time frame you mention.
RE:Biographies from Historical and Biographical Annals by Morton Montgomery
Daniel Dorward, grandfather of Obadiah B., was born in Greenwich township, Jan 1, 1779. He lived below Krumsville on a small farm, which he cultivated. His earlier life was spent as a shoemaker. He died at his home March 25, 1858, and is buried at Grimville church. His wife, Maria Christina Arnold, born Sept. 26, 1780, died March 13, 1858. Their children were: Ephraim, Joseph, Anna, Eliza, Charles and Daniel. In 1801 when the father, Daniel Dorward, became the owner of the farm on which he died, he purchased it from one Conrad HEFFNER.
I've checked all the Conrad's in Berks County, PA and can come up with One (1) Conrad Heffner in 1800 and none in 1810.A Coonrod Heifner does show up in the 1820 Census for Jessamine Co., KY.
I do not have this Conrad Heffner in any of my 12 Heffner Trees, but will continue to search for his parents and descendants.
