The oldest son, Gen. William Piper, was for several years a representative to the state legislature from this county, and also served two terms in congress. He commanded a regiment in the war of 1812. Subsequently he served as adjutant-general of Pennsylvania. He was a remarkable athlete, and there are numerous traditions concerning his feats of extraordinary agility--one to the effect that he leaped across the open circle, the highest in the dome of the state capitol at Harrisburg, a distance of sixteen feet, eighty feet above the floor.
