WILLIAM LIPPENCOTT, Sr., farmer, Waynesburg, Penn., was born in Franklin Township, this county, October 4, 1812. He is a son of Uriah and Nancy Lippencott, natives of New Jersey, and of English descent. Mr. WIlliam Lippencott's grandfather was among the earliest settlers of Greene County, and engaged in farming and stock growing. He gave his son Uriah instructions in the art of husbandry - a business he followed all his life, except the time he spent in teaching school. His death occurred in 1855. William Lippencott is the fifth in a family of eight children, and was reared on the farm where he and his family reside. Like his ancestors, he chose farming and stock growing as a business and has been very successful. His home farm contains 400 acres of valuable land. Mr. Lippencott was united in marriage, in 1832, with Rachel, daughter of George and Margaret (Bowen) Ullom, and they are the parents of five children, viz., Uriah, Margaret, Melissa, Martha and Maria.

J., Elisha, Rachel A., B. F., and Sylvanus I. Mr. Lippencott has filled the offices of assessor, director of the poor and school director.
