Nancy,
A newspaper extract indicates a Rev. Henry Hiestand had a letter at the Hagerstown Post Office - April 8, 1812, Maryland Herald. Since your Henry is born in 1803 this person must be a generation back. There is also an equity case in The Torchlight April 4, 1826 for the estate of one David Martin who died intestate. One of his heirs is Abby who married John HEASTAND. Other heirs were listed - all lived out of the state of Maryland. The marriage license date for Henry and Elizabeth Newcomer is 3/18/1830. while the Ancestry Md marriage database lists it as 18 March 1839. They show up in 1850 census in Mt. Morris, Ogle County Illinois.
Roger - do you have anything on them in your database? There is also a Benjamin in that same census in Harrison, Ogle Co.
Henry and Elizabeth's daughter Mary is listed as 19 in 1850 - her birthdate would be circa 1831. So the 1830 date may be correct. There is also an 18 year old - since the 9 and the 0 are next to each other on the keyboard, who knows. In 1840 Henry is listed in Maryland Precinct, Ogle County IL. Benjamin is also there. There are Heistand entries in the 1840 census in Lancaster Co. PA.

There is an obit for a Henry HEISTAND who died at age 66 28 April 1869 in the Herald and Torch Light. Also an obit for a Jacob Heistand in the 10 April 1835 Hagerstown Mail. There is nothing in the will index. There is an interesting entry in the estate distributions:

WELTY, Henry. Adm. Jacob HESTAND, Henry 2/17/1818; ....heirs include Jacob, Benjamin and Henry HESTAND according to the index. Other heirs wer Jacob Garber, Jacob Moyer, and Henry Stouver. - appears to be a widow and 5 heirs in one distribution. Henry Welty has a will in the will index as well as estate document in 1816. I think I'd look at that will. There is a Henry WELTY and Mag. NEWCOMER in the marriage license index 10/14/1805.

.
That's all I can turn up this time around.

Does anyone out there know who the parents are of Henry (Hiestand) Heistand,
born 21 March 1803 in Washington County, Maryland. Henry married Elizabeth
Newcomer. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
