General Notes: Husband - Jacob Hill

---

At one time he was numbered among the early merchants of Leechburg, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where he was also engaged in contracting to a considerable ex­tent, building the old locks at that place, as well as other important construction work. He came to old Allegheny township, Armstrong County, later Parks township, in 1837, buying 300 acres of land two and a half miles east of Leechburg, on which he built a house, and two years later the barn. Mr. Hill cleared the greater part of this property, and developed it into a valuable farm. During his residence in the township he became one of the most prominent men of his locality, serv­ing as school director, supervisor and justice of the peace before he was sent to the State Assembly, upon two occasions, as the success­ful candidate on the Democratic ticket. Dur­ing these pioneer days he rode from his farm to Greensburg on horseback, carrying his bag­gage with him. From Greensburg he took a stagecoach to Harrisburg, to enter upon his duties as member of the Legislature. A man of commanding presence, he weighed 180 pounds and was very strong physically as well as mentally. The Lutheran Church of Leechburg had in him a faithful member and liberal supporter. [HAC 1914, 573]
He and his wife were buried in a private burial ground on their farm.

Together with his brothers Eli and Levi, he engaged in the manu­facture of salt, drilling the third well in their area for the purpose. They drilled alto­gether about eight wells, becoming extensive manufacturers in that line.
