Do you know of Hellam ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Hellam. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Hellam.<1>

Our sources for Hellam (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Hellam other than they indicate that Hellam would be found somewhere in York County, Pennsylvania.
