Chuck,
The Heiligs in NC came from PA in the 1780s.The Heiligs were already in PA for at least three generations as established by Lutheran church records. It is surmised that Heinrich b.1700 came from the state (Land in German) of Hannover, not necessarily the city, about 1720 on the ship Polly, but this is difficult to substantiate.
Part of the family went to Indiana in the early 1800s.
