Mike, will try to answer each question, in order. () indicate my notes.

(Believed to be the Father of Jahial Jr., but not verified)
Gehial Helton (Jehiel, Sr.?), 1800, SC, Lancaster Dist.
Males: 2, 0-10; 2, 16-25 Females: 1, 16-25
I believe there is an error here. There should have been 1 male, 26-44 and 1 female, 26-44. (Gehial (Sr), father of (Jehial(Jr), would of been abt 38-40)

To explain my concern and rationale, follow me to 1810, SC, Lancaster. Jehiel Helton (Sr.?)
Males: 1, 0-10; 1, 16-25; 1, 45+
Females: 1, 16-25; 1, 25-44, 1, 45+
(Jahiel Sr abt48-50)

1830, SC, Lancaster. Jahial Helton (Sr.?)
Males: 1, 10-15; 1, 15-20; 1-50-60
Females: 1, 5-10; 1, 50-60
(Jahial abt 68-70)

1840, GA, Murray. Gehial (Sr.?)
Males: 1, 70-80 Females: 1, 70-80
(Gehial abt 78-80)

Now look at Jehial (Jr?)
1830, GA, Hall
Males: 1, 0-5; 1, 5-10; 1, 20-30
Females: 1, 0-5; 1, 5-10; 1, 20-30
James abt 13; Jehial abt 28, b. 1802
Harriet abt 10; Clarissa, wife, age unk aprox. 28

1840, GA, Murray. Gehial (Jehial Jr.?)
Males: 1, 0-5; 1, 20-30; 1, 30-40
Females: 2, 0-5; 1, 5-10; 1, 10-15, 1, 15-20, 1, 20-30
Jehial abt 38, Rachel Akin abt 29. Married: 17 Dec 1836

(Clarissa died abt Jan 1835, childbirth, Mary Ann. Mary Ann married Uriah H Summey in 1850). It appears that Jehial had 4 children with Clarissa: Miles Washington, Harriet, Henry, and Mary Ann. Rachel identifies a Clary as Jehial's first wife in her application for Indian Wars pension claim. No evidence her claim was approved.

Also Jehial made a claim for war of 1812. Claimed he served. I don't think so, since he would have been 10/11 years old. His signature, not a mark, appears on the claim, so I'm told. Havent seen the original document, only copies.

Bruce

Abraham 1840, GA, Cobb and Joseph 1840, GA, Lumpkin are
good candidates for brothers to Jahial, Could be cousins.

One Family Tree lists Tabitha, 1791-1880; Jehial, 1802-1887; and Elizabeth, 1805-1870 as children of Jehiel Sr.
Have not been able to confirm. Probably more children involved.
