John Adam Heller Sr was mentioned in a county history book printed in 1883 in Philadelphia, Philadelphia Co., Pennsylvania:

"Mifflin Township: The township is bounded on the north by Northumberland County, East by Lykens Township, south by Washington Township, and on the west by Upper Paxtang Township. The Mahantango mountains run the entire length of the upper part of the Township, the Mahantango Creek, the Northumberland County boundary, being at the foot of the north side. The township is well watered, and there are very many fine productive farms. Much of the history of the township is identified with the history of the Lykens Alley proper; that which may have transpired during the eventful areas of the countries existence will be found in other portions of this work. It contains two important towns, Berrysburg and Uniontown. Berrysburg is situated on the road leading from Millersburg through Lykens into Schuylkill County, thirty-five miles from Harrisburg. It was incorporated into a borough December 14, 1869. The town was laid out by John Adam Heller and December, 1819, who owned a large tract of land, including the present town and a farm adjoining, now owned by Daniel Romberger. Heller was a pioneer family in the valley, but removed in 1839 to Sugar Valley, and subsequently to Ohio. John Paul, Jr., surveyed the town for Heller, who called it Berrysburg, from the mountain named Berry's, lying in the vicinity, but for many years went by the name of the proprietor." [Hellertown]

And then again we find him mentioned:

Washington Township: "Upon the petition of inhabitants of Mifflin Township asking for a division of that Township, the court, on the third of September, 1845, issued an order to three commissioners to you and report on the propriety of granting the prayer of said petition, who reported that in their opinion a division of said Township was Mrs., and that they had laid off the following petition of the same, to be called Washington... The Lutheran and Reformed church was erected in 1833 by the joint labors of the Salem Lutheran and Reformed congregations. It was built of stone by John Adam Heller, for $300"[Thus in the year 1833, this church was, at the time it was built, located in what was then know as Mifflin township].

"DAVID GUNDER, who, for the past twenty years, has made his home in Portage township, is a native of Pennsylvania, born December 22, 1838, in Dauphin county, son of Isaac and Susan (Heller) Gunder, who were farming people of Dutch and Scotch ancestry.

Our subject was about twelve years old when the family settled in Wood county, and he attended school only one winter here. In addition to the ordinary disadvantages which the youth of that day experienced in acquiring even an ordinary education, he was hampered by defective eyesight, and also suffered from the fever and, ague, so common in this section when the region was little more than a swamp. When fifteen years old he commenced to work for other farmers, and he also engaged in different lines of work, being employed in a shingle mill for a time working with the surveying corps on the Dayton & Michigan railway, between Perrysburg & Toledo, and was also employed at grading. In March, 1859, he was married, in Montgomery township, Wood county, to Miss Elizabeth Clemens, who was born in Loudon township, Seneca county, daughter of Daniel Clemens, a farmer. The young couple lived with his parents for a short time and after that lived on rented land in various places in Perry township, Wood county, and in Jackson township, Seneca county, in the latter place renting one farm of Dr. R. C. Caples, of Fostoria, Ohio. for twelve years. In February 1875, Mr. Gunder removed his family to their present home in Portage township, Wood county, which comprises eighty acres of good land in Section 24, but which at that time was in its primitive condition, not even a building standing on the place. But since he has conducted the place it has changed materially, buildings and fences have been erected, and he has made a fine home for himself and family by incessant hard work. He is a self-made man in the strictest sense of the word, and is respected by all who know him for his industry and integrity. Mr Gunder has witnessed the transformation of this entire section of Ohio, for when they came here the country was still a forest, and his father's family made the entire trip from Pennsylvania to Crawford county, Ohio, and from Crawford county to Wood county, in a large covered wagon drawn by four horses.

Mr. and Mrs. Gunder are the parents of two children--John, who is a carpenter, and Harry S., both living at home. Our subject and his wife, are both members of the U. B. Church, and in politics he is a stanch Democrat. He is a regular voter, but aside from that takes no active part in public affairs".

William H Heckart had an historical biography printed in 1897 in Wood Co., Ohio:

"WILLIAM HECKART, a leading lumber dealer and sawmill operator of Bradner, is one of the representative citizens. The architect of his own fortune, his life has been one of steady and close attention to business, while he has, at the same time, given practical support to helpful public movements. and taken an intelligent interest in the questions of the day.

He was born in Crawford county, Ohio, September 29, 1851, the son of Peter and Elah (Heller) Heckart, who were both natives of Pennsylvania and descendants of German ancestry. In 1862 they moved to Jackson township, Seneca county, where his father bought a farm of 210 acres a fine property. Later he moved his family to Scott township, Sandusky county, and was successfully engaged in the sawmill business near Risingsunt, until his death, being for some time a partner of Joseph Blackford, the well-known lumberman. His wife survives him, and although she owns a good home, she spends most of her time among her children.

Mr. Heckart was one of nine children- six boys and three girls and until the age of seventeen spent his life after the fashion of the average farmer's boy. German was the language spoken in the family, and when he was eight years old he knew but little of any other, and while attending school then, and even later, he was often referred to as '' Little Dutchman," by schoolmates who were more familiar with English. His "first day in school " was at Leesville, Crawford county; the district schools there, and at the new home, furnished his only opportunity for an education. For about four years he worked in his father's sawmill, learning the details of the business in which he has since been so successful, and in the spring of 1872 began farming on his own account at the homestead--his father giving him the few months' time remaining before his majority.

In December, 1874, in Montgomery township, Wood county, he was united in matrimony with Miss Anna E. Walters, daughter of Emanuel and Eliza (Gould) Walters, and took his bride to the old home, where they remained until 1881, when he moved to Montgomery township. Soon after he joined his father's old partner, Joseph Blackford, in the sawmill business, which he bought out three years afterward. A few years later he purchased a large tract of timber land in Section 36, Freedom township, and moved his business there while it was being cleared. He made fine improvements upon the place during his stay, and still owns a forty-acre farm there. In September, 1893, he removed his machinery to Bradner, where he had bought a lot and erected commodious buildings for carrying on his work on an extensive scale. A planing machine and other machinery were added to the outfit, enabling him to manufacture all kinds of lumber. His thorough acquaintance with the best methods of work, together with his general business ability and invariable fairness in dealing with the public, have brought, him a large and profitable trade, which keeps from six to twelve men employed to fill orders.

He has build a beautiful home in Bradner, probably the finest in the place. He and his wife are leading members of the Evangelical Church, and he gives liberally to that and the worthy causes. Of their three children, the eldest, Nora O., married F. A. Bryan of Bradner; and Mollie R. and Jessie are at home. While he is a stanch Republican and a regular voter, he has never aspired to office, his business requiring his attention; but in all that constitutes good citizenship he has not at any time been found wanting".

Anna Eliza Walters was born on 11 Jun 1857 in Bradner, Wood Co., Ohio, as reported in Anna's obit. On Anna's death certificate, her daughter, Mollie, states the birth was 24 May 1847.

Which would indicate she was previously married to a "Bugh" and had a daughter by him. I am unable to find any Jane Bugh in census index before 1870 in Wood Co. He died after 1874 more information: Adam's son, Philip's history, says he was an orphan at age 6 (abt 1840) this may have been a misprint on his age and could have meant that his mother died not necessarily his father.
