   LEWIS HILLPOT farmer, Erwinna, P.O., is a son of Peter 
Hillpot, who is a son of Frederick, who was the youngest son 
of the old revolutionary soldier, George Adam Hillpot. 
Frederick was born in 1774, and died in 1858, when within 
seven days of completing his 84th year. He was a weaver and 
farmer, and owned the place now occupied by his son Isaac. 
He was a soldier in the war of 1812. His wife was Susannah 
Stem, who was born in 1783, and died in 1857. Their children 
were:  Elizabeth, Samuel, Catherine and Sarah, deceased; 
Mary Magdalena, Jonas and Isaac, living in this township; 
Frederick, in Nockamixon township, and Peter, father of 
Lewis, with whom he is living. Peter was born February 22, 
1805, and on his marriage removed to Nockamixon township, 
where he stayed for seven years, then buying the place which 
has been his home for fifty-one years. In 1829 he was 
married to Annie Fretz, who was born July 6, 1802, and is 
now in her 86th year. Their children were:  Susannah, who is 
the wife of John wildonger, and has six children; Mary Ann, 
wife of Reading Rufe, of Nockamixon township; and Lewis, who 
was the only son. He has always been a farmer, and is a 
plain, industrious man, of unblemished character and 
excellent standing in the community. He is unmarried, and 
like his ancestors for generations past is a member of the 
Lower Tinicum Lutheran church. He served in the civil war in 
1862-3.
