Justin Kirk Houser, the expert on the Confer family, lists Jacob (Heather's 3rd great maternal grandfather) as a son of Philip and Margaretha Haines. (see notes at bottom of this post) Jacob's death certificate, filled out by his daughter Malinda (Confer) Welliver, lists his father as Peter, mother as Unknown. Death certificates are not always accurate - but until I find other proof, I have to assume Peter is the father of Jacob, not Philip.
