General Notes: Husband - Rev. George Hill


At the close of the Revolutionary war this family moved from their home in York County, Pennsylvania, to locate in Fayette County, where he entered upon the duties of his first pastorate. He was educated at Princeton, and was licensed to preach Dec. 22, 1791. The following year he was installed as pastor of Fairfield, Donegal and Wheatfield congregations, which he continued to serve for a period of six years. On April 11, 1798, he resigned the charge at Wheatfield and accepted the call to Ligonier, where he administered to the spiritual wants of his people for upward of a quarter of a century.
