I did a search on Google using these search terms: “C P Kilbourne” and Kilbourne + “Hector Township” and came up with the following information”
From the book History of the counties of McKean, Elk, Cameron and Potter, Pennsylvania : with biographical selections, including their early settlement and development, a description of the historic and interesting localities, sketches of their cities, towns and villages, portraits of prominent men, biographies of representative citizens, outline history of Pennsylvania, statistics.
Chicago: J.H. Beers & Co., 1890, 1259 pgs.
From Chap. 15 - HECTOR AND PIKE TOWNSHIPS.
Page 1092 --Dr. Mattison states that the first religious society in Hector township was the Methodist Episcopal, organized by C.P. Kilbourne.
From Chap. 27“History of Potter County – Biographical Sketches Hector Township
Page 1219 -- C. P. Kilbourne, farmer, P. O. Sunderlinville, was born in Wellsboro, Penn., March 9, 1822. His father died in 1825, and he was taken to the home of a great uncle, with whom he lived until he was fourteen years old, when his mother married Aaron Niles, of Niles Valley, Penn., and he then lived with her until twenty-three years old, when he came to Potter county, and worked as a laborer three years. He then bought a tract of wild land in Hector township, which he has improved, and although obliged to undergo hardships and privations, has been successful, now having one of the best homes in the township. He has erected good buildings, and has brought his land under a high state of cultivation. Mr. Kilbourne was married in 1848, to Lovisa Pemberton, a native of Mixtown, Penn., born October 31, 1829, and they have four children: Delphine (wife of Clinton Dimon), Josephine E. (wife of W. E. Ferris), Leon (married to Ida Beech) and Lucy (wife of Otis Sunderlin). Mr. Kilbourne is a member of Eulalia Lodge, No.342, F. & A. M., at Coudersport, and he and his wife are members of the Westfield Methodist Episcopal Church. He has held various offices of trust in his township and county, having been county commissioner three terms.
Hope this helps
