   JACOB T. HILLPOT farmer, P.O. Chalfont, was born in 
Tinicum township, Bucks county, in 1840.  George Adam 
Hillpot, the great-grandfather of Jacob T., married Maria 
Phillippina Schnauffer, who bore him five sons and four 
daughters.   At the age of forty years this pioneer died of 
fever contracted in the revolutionary war.  Frederick 
Hillpot was a son of this patriot.  He married Susanna Stem, 
by whom he had five sons and four daughters.  Samuel, the 
third child, married Eva Trauger, of this county, and they 
were the parents of four children: Joseph, a clergyman; 
Hannah (Mrs. Grouver), Jacob T. and Susanna (Mrs. Ahlum).  
Jacob T. Hillpot attended school until he was 19 years of 
age.  In 1873 he married Lydia, daughter of Joseph and 
Rosanna Ahlum, of this county.  They have no issue.  Mr. 
Hillpot lived on his father's farm until he purchased his 
present farm in 1882.  He is a member of the Lutheran church 
and a democrat.
