Hi - Just found the Lilly Reunion website and this board, so please pardon me if this has been covered.

I know I there are Lillys in my ancestry, but which Robert Lilly is everyone referring to? What is his birthdate, etc?

Thanks so much!

Theresa

Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? I think so. Have a couple of Robert Lilly's in my ancestry.

Hi Theresa,

THE Robert Lilly was married to Mary Moody.
Their lives spanned about 1740 to 1818.

There is some confusion, but they did not each
live to be over 100 years old and to the best of
my knowledge there is only speculation as to
who Robert's father was. DNA testing may
eventually decide that question.

If you are willing to send me your Lilly line
back as far as you have it I am willing to check
my database to see what I have for you. I have
been transcribing Lilly census files and other
records for a few years.

Bye for now, Cousin Bob

Hi Cousin Theresa,

If you are looking for the meaning of life I am the wrong person to ask. However, if you are looking for information I have about 21 pages to trade you. Can you tell me how much information you have on the descendents of Evermont Moye and Sarah Lilly? That is where my information runs out.

The way I see it you have not 1 but 3 lines of descent from Robert Lilly. See below.

Hi Cuz,

I guess what I don't quite understand, besides the meaning of life, is the significance of being related to Robert Lilly. I am quite new to this, so please excuse my ignorance.

I'm happy to share what I have on Evermont & Sarah's descendants, which is basic info: names, birth and death dates. I would love to have any info you can share, as well.

Thanks,
Cousin Theresa
