General Notes: Husband - William Hillis

The Hillis family was founded in the United States by William Hillis, who was a linen weaver in Ireland, and came from that country to America in 1799, and settled at once in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, in the neighborhood of Mount Pleasant.

He was a native of Ireland, and came to America in 1800 with his wife Nancy and son Robert, settling on a farm in Mount Pleasant township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. He followed the occupation of weaver in connection with farming, being engaged in the weaving of Irish linen.
