Heilman,Brandon+E's+Family+Treasure+Hunt

My last name Heilman means physician. It is possible that the name was used by families in Germany and Switzerland when Surnames came to use. From the earliest times, Heilmans belonged to the Order of Franconian Knighthood; the name was enrolled in the geneaogical register of the German Nobility,and referenced to individual Heilmans are found in fragments of history for more than a thousand years before 1305 AD whenone Veit der Heilman was granted the first surviving Heilman coat of arm by the Emperor Albrecht. This, however, is not the one called "The true Heilman Arms" as it appears in Register of the Roman Empire, from whence Julius F. Sachse (25th President of the PA German Society) secured, through the assistance of the American Ambassador in Vienna, a Photographic copy of an original plate, engraved before 1667, though the Arms were in the seventeenth century already in use a hundred years or more.

In 1736 Andreas Heilman and his family reached Phiadelphia after a long journey on the "Ship Harle" Beginning at the Upper Rhine in Germany. For some time Andrew worked in the flour trade in Philadelphia to support his family. After another overland journey from Pennsylvania southward, Andrew was first positively known to be in South Carolina in 1750. Here he was granted a tract of land on Grimm's Creek, Lying between the Broad River and the Saluda River.
