Records of Hill Church In Berks County. The Hill Church is situated on the summit of the range of hills running north and south through the eastern part of Berks county. It is in Pike Township and quite near the borders of Oley, Earl and Rockland Townships. The congregation was organized sometime prior to 1747. The Church records which are all in German language, date from this period. The oldest record is a long narrow book on the inside cover of which is written by Christopher Sauer, of Germantown ( the famous German colonial printer ) that he received nine shillings for the book. In the same book is the following memorandum for money received in payment of the Glebe land all of which is still owned by the congregation: "Philadelphia, 12th Aug., 1747 ". Received of Casper Crygher, George Ernst and Andrew Rodenheffer, two pounds, 10 shillings in part of the congregation for 50 acres of land to be surveyed to them for the use of a Lutheran congregation as a burial ground adjoining Ludowick Tellinger and Daniel Yoder, near Colebrookdale township in the county of Philadelphia."
