Samuel was born in 1825 (possibly in Upper Saucon, Lehigh Co. or Lower Saucon, Northampton, PA). He was a carpenter and married Juliana KIDD who was born in 1830 and she died in 1884 and is buried in the Christ Union Church Cemetery in Hellerstown, PA. > Samuel and Juliana had 9 children: Albert b. 1851, Emma b 1853, Isabella b 1855, Thomas J. b. 1857, (my g grandfather) Eliza b. 1859, Sarine b. 1863, Susanna b. 1865, Celestia b. 1868 and Robert b. 1873. > > Samuel first appears in the 1850 Lower Saucon, Northampton, PA census as Billiard, 1860 as VAN BILLIARD, 1870 as VAN BILLIARD and 1880 as Rilgard. Other variations of the name include: BILYARD, BILGERT, VAN BILYARD, VAN BILGERT and even VERBILGER. > > I have found several other VAN BILLIARDS such as Henry, Jacob, Peter, Joseph and Abraham in the Upper Saucon church records and then later as neighbors of Samuel's in Lower Saucon.
