Barbara Married Jacob N. Helmick on 24 Dec 1795 in Hampshire (W) Virginia, she died giving birth to their son George. After her death Jacob married a Barbara Borer she then continued raising his nine children.

Note: Since she died in childbirth in a will by her husband Jacob she was not mentioned in it. I don't think it was written until after she died. Records indicate she died in 1813, and Jacob's will was written in 13 June 1815.

In all probability, as is the case of most people living during this time period, she was buried on the farm where she lived.

Children Margaret Anne Helmick Riffle 1784–1851
