It may have been a different Pilon: BD vol. 11, p. 311 identifies a Mr Pilon, house servant at Covent Garden, on the basis of a 4 June 1788 playbill showing a Mr Pilon sharing a benefit with other house servants. However, it may be that Frederick Pilon did work at Covent Garden in some capacity, and/or that the latter Mr Pilon was a relative of the (by then deceased) Frederick's, receiving a charitable benefit on his behalf: on 31 August 1789 the theatre paid for a Mr Pilon's funeral."
