BEST
Links to the Helbron family come from the
marriage of John Rudolph Helbron to Nellie Voil Best in 1937. Nellie was the
youngest daughter of Robert Marion Best and Ida Josephine Herndon.
Our connections to the Best family can apparently
be traced 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 moved from North Carolina
and settled in Southeast Missouri. With those exceptions, “Best” will be used
here. The major problem with Hoffman’s book is its age, yet it still is an
excellent reference for older generations.
The emigrant, Sebastian Bosch, son of Anton,
arrived in Philadelphia from Amsterdam aboard the Townsend (Billender)
on 5 Oct 1737 along with his wife, Margaretha Kirchbauer, and four children:
Katherina Margaretha, Maria Barbara, Jerg 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, Jerg Sebastian “Bastian” (or “Bostain”), returned to
Pennsylvania to secure a wife and while en route, 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 on 11 Sep 1738 aboard the Robert & Alice from
Rotterdam. Bostain and Katrina were married about 1750.
The lineages outlined below represent the
contributions of many Best (or Bess) researchers and my heartfelt thanks
to all of them!

12. John 3 Best (or
Bess) I. (Bostian 2, Sebastian 1,
Anton A). Born 1751, Mecklenburg Co., NC; died in
Bessville, Bollinger Co., MO, probably after 1814. RN=708.
Married (1) Catherine “Katie” Slinkard, daughter of Jacob Slinkard, in 1780 in NC. RN=2966. No known 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.
Married Sally
? ca 1789, place unknown but either North Carolina or South Carolina. RN=49. [NOTE 1: Some
family researchers have speculated that her maiden name 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
prove it. No record of her death and no gravesite have ever been found. It is
likely that following Jonathan I’s death in 1835, she may have gone to live
with her eldest son, Jonathan II, in Carroll Co., MS and died there after 1840,
although no gravesite there has ever been located. A female with an age between
50-60 was listed in the 1840 Census of Carroll Co., MS living with her son’s family.] [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, identified Sally and all
of his nine children. The Will identified Margaret as his “youngest daughter”
and “Eben” as his “youngest son”. It further identified three of his daughters
by their married names, but not Margaret, indicating that she was still single
in 1826.] The following is the 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:
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 been located in
Lauderdale Co., AL]. Descendants unknown.
31 ii. Jenny (or Jinny) 4 Best. Born between 1795 and
1798, probably in South Carolina; death date and place unknown. RN=2975.
Also married a Hood, date and place unknown. RN=5951.
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. [NOTE:
Unable to locate either Ellinor or Charles in the 1830 or subsequent
censuses, likely due to 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 marriage date. Married John Flemington on
27 Jul 1827 in Lauderdale Co., AL. RN=2983. [NOTE: A
John Flemington does not appear in the 1830 or subsequent censuses, so it is
possible that the spelling of his surname was incorrect in the marriage record.
The surname Flemming is a possibility, but only one 1830 Census
entry has a close age match, but does not match in subsequent censuses.]
Descendants unknown.

4 Best. RN=682.
