According to the History of Butler County, Pennsylvania . . . "William GILL, a native of County Down, Ireland, came to this county in 1778, and served in the army during the Revolutionary war. He was under Gen. WAYNE at the battle of Paoli, where WAYNE's army was surprised and defeated. GILL was wounded in this battle, crawled into a hollow log, and lay until the British left the field. He got well, and served until the end of the war. He married Elizabeth LEAPER in Alleghany County, and resided in that county until 1802, when he settled on Wolf Creek in Mercer County, where he encountered the usual experiences of pioneers. He was one of the founders of Harmony Church, and is buried in its cemetery. He reared seven sons and six daughters."
