In regards to the son Lawrence Hipple who married Anna Maria Weidner: They had two additional children, William and Mary. Mary Hipple was born in 1817 in Roxborough. She married William Jackson Lewis in New York City on 2 Jan 1836. Their only child ( William H. Lewis b. 3 Oct 1836) was named after her deceased brother William. I do not have any dates on this brother other than he was deceased by the birthdate of this child. Mary evidently had a severe heart condition and was informed by a physician she could die at any time. When her husband was away from home surveying she did die quickly (7 Apr 1841). It was three days before her husband was notified of her death and therefore he had missed her burial. According to William J. Lewis, she was burried at "some Baptist Church cemetery in New York." She had requested of her husband that if she were to die than she wanted her son to be raised by her sister, Betsy Showaker. He had agreed to this not anticipating that such a thing would happen. However, after her death, he reluctantly took the child to this family. He had close contact with the child until he left for California in 1849. He may have visited with his son when he briefly returned to PA in 1857 for several months. William J. Lewis had become the county Surveyor for Santa Clara County and San Francisco in the 1850's. He died in 1883 in San Francisco. This information was derived from a letter he wrote in Dec 1875 from California to PA to provide genealogical information requested for a family reunion held that year. This letter can be found at the Chester County Historical Society at West Chester, PA.
