Hilltown was organized in 1722.
Immigrants coming into this part of the county came through
Philadelphia, now Montgomery county, and were generally Welsh
Baptists and German Lutherans and Reformed. Hilltown was the
first township formed north of Buckingham. Among the first
settlers was Israel Pemberton, an original land-owner in
Hilltown, James Logan and Reverend William Thomas. Mr. Thomas
was one of the fathers of Hilltown, and one of the most
reputable men who settled it. Richard Thomas (not related to
William) was an early settler whose sons turned out badly. Two
of them entered the British army, William and Evan. Evan was
with the British at the Battle of Crooked Billet where he was
charged with assisting to burn our wounded in buckwheat straw.
In Hilltown are four churches, two
Baptist, one Union, Lutheran and Reformed and one Mennonite.
Hilltown was the birthplace of two members of the House of
Representatives of the United States, John Pugh and Matthias
Morris. 2
