Notes:

NELSON HILBORN. a pioneer farmer in Bosanquet township, has been a resident of that locality for nearly fifty-one years. The fine old homestead there, where he is now carrying on a highly successful industry, he helped his father to hew out of the wilderness.

Mr. Hilborn is paternally descended from fine English stock, and from the mater nal line draws good Pennsylvania-Dutch blood. His great-grandfather Hilborn was the first of his line to settle in America, and made his home for the most part in Pennsyl vania. Among his children was a son named Joseph, who continued the line of descent.

Joseph Hilborn, grandfather of Nelson, was born in Philadelphia, about 1783, and at an early date came to Ontario, settling upon a farm in Waterloo County. Here he engaged in agriculture for the most part throughout Ins active career, and, being an energetic man and a shrewd manager, was remarkably prosperous. His activities, however, were soon cut short, as his death occurred at the early age of thirty years. He married Esther Cornell, daughter of Sylvanus Cornell, and to Mr. and Mrs. Hilborn were born three children : Thomas, who is now deceased; Annie, who married William Anglemyer, and died at the advanced age of ninety years; and John C, who is mentioned below.

John C. Hilborn, father of Nelson, was a man of ability and many attainments. He was born at Preston, Ont., May 11, 1813, and in a well-ordered home received careful rearing. In the schools of that vicinity he acquired a good education, and being of an intellectual bent availed himself of every opportunity for cultivating his literary tastes. For an occupation he chose tanning, which he followed from the age of fourteen to the age of twenty-four. About 1852 he settled upon a tract of wild land in Bosanquet township, where he cleared up a line farm for himself, and there he also followed tanning, and, giving strict attention to bus iness, and being skillful in pushing affairs, he made an unqualified success of his work. In addition to his other enterprises Mr. Hil born early began acting as preacher for various rural communities, and for fully sixty years acted in that capacity, even in his busiest seasons giving much time to this work. A wise and frugal manager, he made well out of his various enterprises, and in time became one of the well-to-do citizens of Bosanquet township. After many years of fruitful work he retired from his labors, and took up his residence with his son for twelve years. Then he was married again, to Mrs. Susan Toole. and removed to Thedford, where he lived retired until his death. Feb. 23, 1808. at the age of eighty-four years and nine months.

He was an indefatigable worker, had rare business ability, and exerted a strong influence in all walks of life.

Nelson Hilborn was born in Waterloo township, Waterloo County, July 28, 1842, and was a boy when his parents came to Lambton County and settled in Bosanquet township. Capable for his years, he even then went to work, axe in hand, to cut down the timber on his father s new farm. He also assisted in removing the timber which during the winter became lodged in the ice, for about a mile west from Thedford, along the Grand Trunk railroad. Ambitious for an education, he passed his evenings after a hard day s work in study, beside an old-time tallow candle, and in this way acquired a large fund of useful and practical knowledge. It was during this early period that the .town of Thedford was laid out, and it was Mr. Hilborn who drove the yoke of oxen to mark the site. Reared as a pioneer, upon reaching manhood he was not afraid to take a hand at any work which fell his way, and as a young man he cut and split cordwood into stove lengths, which he hauled to Pine Hill and marketed, receiving $1.25 per cord and his dinner. On Sept. 17, 1868, Mr. Hilborn married Miss Margaret L. Mitchell, who was horn in New Brunswick, slaughter of Andrew Mitchell. To Mr. and Mrs. Hilborn have been born three children: Franklin, who died at the age of four years; Miss Sarah Esther, at home; and John Nelson, a farmer of Bosanquet township. who married Mrs. Maud (William-son) Laughlin.

He also improved his property, and in time made it into one of the most attractive farms in the locality.
