BEST
Links to the Helbron family come from the
marriage of John Rudolph Helbron (RN=2) to Nellie Voil Best (RN=3) on 31 Oct 1937
in Little Rock, Pulaski Co., AR. Nellie was the youngest daughter of Robert
Marion Best and Ida Josephine Herndon.
Our connections to the Best family can
apparently be traced back to Anton Bosch, born in 1645 in Blankenloch, Baden,
Germany, a present-day suburb of Karlsruhe. It is unclear just when or why the
surname was changed, but Laban Miles Hoffman in his book, Our Kin, originally
published in 1915, indicated that it was either Best or Bess. Some of today’s
descendants spell it “Bess”, principally those who remained in North Carolina
or moved from North Carolina and settled in southeastern Missouri. With those
exceptions, “Best” will be used here. The major problem with Hoffman’s book is
its age, yet it is still an excellent reference for older generations.
The emigrant, Sebastian Bosch, son of Anton,
arrived in Philadelphia, PA from Amsterdam aboard the Townsend (Billender)
on 5 Oct 1737 along with his wife, Margaretha Kirchbauer, and four
children: Katherina Margaretha, Maria Barbara, Jerge Sebastian, and Maria
Katharina. According to Hoffman, the family moved from Pennsylvania steadily
southward, eventually settling in what was then Lincoln County (now Gaston
County), North Carolina. Sebastian’s son, Jerge Sebastian “Bostian” (or
“Bostain”), returned to Pennsylvania to secure a wife and while enroute, met a
family group of settlers named Heyl (or Hoyle). In this group of settlers was
Katrina Heyl, daughter of Pieter and Catherine (Dales) Heyl. Pieter Heyl was
from Spandau, Brandenburg, Germany (a suburb of present-day Berlin) and arrived
in Philadelphia, PA on 11 Sep 1738 aboard the Robert & Alice from
Rotterdam. “Bostian” and Katrina were married about 1750 in North Carolina.
The lineages outlined below represent, not only
my personal reseach, but the contributions of many Best (or Bess)
researchers and my heartfelt thanks to all of them!

Generation Three
12. John 3 Best (or
Bess) I. (Bostian 2, Sebastian 1,
Anton A). Born ca 1751, Mecklenburg Co., NC; died in

Married (1) Catherine “Katie” Slinkard, daughter of Jacob Slinkard, in 1780 in NC. RN=2966. No known children.
Married (2) Martha Williams on 29 Apr 1783, place unknown. RN=3820. Children:
+ 25 i. Jacob 4 Bess I. RN=3822.
+ 26 ii. John 4 Bess II. RN=2965.
+ 27 iii. Michael 4 Bess. RN=2970.
+ 28 iv. Henry 4 Bess. RN=2967.
+ 29 v. Catherine “Kate” 4 Bess. RN=2972.
14. Jonathan 3 Best I. (Bostian 2,
Sebastian 1, Anton A). Born 1773, Catawba
County, NC; died 13 Feb 1835 in Shelby Co., TN. RN=48. 1830 Census, Tipton Co., TN.
Married Sally
? ca 1789, probably in SC. Born ca 1754 in SC; assumed to have died after
1840, likely in MS. RN=49. [NOTE
1: Many family researchers have been unable to determine her maiden
name; some have speculated that it might have been Ozro or
Osro, since this unusual name appears as a middle name in several
follow-on generations, but no firm
evidence has ever been found to substantiate it! No record of her death and no
gravesite have ever been found, but it is likely that following Jonathan’s
death in 1835, she may have gone to live with her eldest son, Jonathan II, in
either Carroll or Coahoma Co., MS and died there after 1840. A female with an
age between 50-60 was listed in the 1840 Census of Carroll Co., MS,
living with her son’s family, and this was likely Sally and she is probably
buried there.] [NOTE 2: There is some
disagreement among BEST researchers on the birth order of the following female
children. In the absence of definitive census data or other viable records, it
is difficult, if not impossible, to adequately resolve the issue. Jonathan Best’s Will, dated 26 Sep 1826 and
recorded in Shelby Co., TN on 13 Feb 1835, identifies Sally and all of
his nine children. His Will also identifies Margaret as his “youngest daughter”
and “Eben” as his “youngest son”. It further identifies three of his daughters
by their married names, but not Margaret, indicating that she was still single
in 1826.] Children (presumed
birth order):
30 i. Polly 4 Best. Born between 1790 and 1795, probably in South
Carolina; died 4 Oct 1831 in Lauderdale Co., AL. RN=2974. Married John
Hood on 5 Feb 1815 in Williamson Co., TN. RN=2979. [NOTE 3:
Assuming that this marriage record is the correct one, Polly’s birth date is
assumed to be between 1790 and 1795. No burial site for her has ever been
located in Lauderdale Co., AL]. Descendants unknown.
31 ii. Jinny (or Jenny) 4 Best. Born between 1795 and
1798, probably in South Carolina; death date and place unknown. RN=2975.
Married a Hood, date and place unknown. RN=5951.
[NOTE
4: Husband’s surname from her
father’s will; no marriage record located to-date.] Descendants unknown
+ 32 iii. Jonathan 4 Best II. RN=684.
+ 33 iv. Abijah 4 Best. RN=24.
+ 34 v. Charles “Charlie” 4 Best. RN=2977.
+ 35 vi. Elijah 4 Best. RN=683.
36 vii. Ellinor 4 Best. Born 1808 in South Carolina; death date and
place unknown. RN=2978. One source had indicated her birth as
considerably later but conflicts with the marriage record date. Married Charles
H. Mackey on 14 Mar 1825 in Lauderdale Co., AL. RN=2981. He was
born 1804, place unknown; death date and place unknown. [NOTE 5: Unable
to locate either Ellinor or Charles in the 1830 or subsequent censuses, likely
due, in part, to possible variations in the spelling of the surname, e.g.
McKie, McKee, etc.] Descendants unknown.
37 viii. Margaret 4 Best. Born ca 1810,
probably in South Carolina; death date and place unknown. RN=2976. Birth
date is assumed based on the marriage date. Married John Flemington on
27 Jul 1827 in Lauderdale Co., AL. RN=2983. [NOTE 6: A
John Flemington does not appear
in the 1830 or subsequent censuses, so it is possible that the spelling of his
surname was incorrect on the marriage record. A John Flemming does appear in the 1830 Census of
Lauderdale Co., AL (age between 20 and 30) and an age match for Margaret as
between 15 and 20 which is consistent with her birth “ca 1810”. However, unable
to find the family in subsequent censuses.] Descendants unknown.
+ 38 ix. Ebenezer
4 Best. RN=682.
15. Peter 3 Bess. (Bostian 2, Sebastian 1,
Anton A). Born 1755 in Stanley, Gaston Co. (old Lincoln
Co.), NC; died there 17 Feb 1832.
RN=710.
[NOTE 1: It is generally accepted that Peter Bess
fathered at least 15 children and was married 4 times; however, there is
disagreement among researchers regarding the mother of some of them since
official marriage records of some of them have not been located to-date. As a result, the order presented below
with the respective spouse’s is assumed to be correct, but not absolutely confirmed!]

are several conflicts regarding the children identified below. Since the 1840
Census does not identify children by
name (only age range), available data are inconclusive as to the exact number
and birth dates. One source indicates that Jonathan and Elizabeth were married
in 1838 in Williamson Co., TN but no records of that county show such a
marriage. Other sources indicate that some, if not all of their children were
born before 1838. The 1840 Census, while it does not provide a perfect
birth range match, it indicates that their marriage occurred earlier. In the
1850 Census, Elizabeth appears as a widow but with none of her children.
Her son, Isaac, age 17 (born ca 1833), appears on a separate page. As a result,
the birth order and names of the children are presumed.] Children:

unknown. RN=2690. She is buried at Bethel Cemetery, Enid-Teasdale,
Tallahatchie Co., MS. 1900 Census, Lafayette Co., MS, 1920 Census, Tallahatchie
Co., MS, 1930 Census, Grenada Co., MS, 1940 Census, Leflore Co., MS. [NOTE: In the 1920 Census, she was living with her
parents but listed her surname as “Jury” and widowed. This would imply a
previous marriage yet her brother, Sedric, was also listed as “Jury” and raises
some doubt as to the accuracy of the census record entry. No marriage record
for her has been located to-date but the 1930 Census confirms she was married
to John F. Collier but states her
age at first marriage was “18”, or ca 1909. It further lists her daughter’s age
as “17”, or born ca 1913. Based on these dates, a first marriage was possible,
but a brief one! It is also interesting that, based on the daughter’s age in
1930, she would have been about 7 in 1920, yet she was not listed with her mother!]
