Michael Hillegas
was a merchant and sugar refiner, and was interested in iron. Success in
business gave him an ample fortune, a considerable part of which he
contributed by gift and loan to the support of the army, during the struggle
for independence. He was one of the commissioners appointed to
locate and erect Fort Mufflin. He was a member of
the Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania, being one of the representatives
from Philadelphia (one of the three original counties), from 1765 to 1775
inclusive. Michael Hillegas was
appointed Treasurer of the United States on the 6th day of August, 1776.
