Helm

Thank you for the opportunity to bring Helm Researchers together ... I am searching for information on a Peter Helm, a German Cooper who lived in Philadelphia, PA. Peter Helm married Elizabeth  on  1 Jan 1771 and their children were Jacob, b 1772,  Margareta b. 1776,  Peter b. 1779 and daughter Maria b. 1781.  I believe this is the Peter Helm who Matthew Carey wrote much about along with Stephen Girouard  during their heroic efforts during  the Yellow Fever Plague in Philadelphia in 1793. Peter Helm is recorded in 1790 Census in Philadelphia on Water Street, his brother Christian Helm lived closeby.
