Notes:

In March 1780, Jean and Thomas Helm and their other children left Virginia, traveling down the Ohio River in a flatboat to the falls. With them were Nancy (Helm) Floyd and their children. ...........
...Also traveling on the flatboat were two of Jean's brother's William and Benjamin Pope." As far as I know Hester was Lynaugh's only wife...and the will identifies the four children as his.

William Blackwell, 1738-1782, son of Col. William and Elizabeth (Crump) Blackwell, married about 1780, Celia Helm, daughter of Lynaugh and Hester (Edrington) Helm, and widow of Henry Foote, 1738-1777. She married (3) 1786, Dr. George Graham.
-- this shows her name Edrington - but seems researchers posting on the Internet are all saying Hester Netherton.
