I have family information that my gggrandmother was Celia May Lilly, daughter of Washington (Kinny) Lilly and Polly Mann. Washington (Kinny) Lilly was the son of Edmund Lilly.
Celia May married John Wesley Wood, their son, Joseph, married Minnie Lola Canterberry (family tradition relates that she was killed after being struck by a truck in 1908). My grandmother, Bessie Pearl Wood Harrison Spangenberg was their daughter.
Was Edmund Lilly a son or grandson of Robert Lilly?
Thank you for any information regarding this line.
Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? I think so
I can confirm your line as you stated it. Edmund was a son of Robert Lilly. If you did not alread know, you have two Lilly lines through your grandmother Bessie Pearl Wood. Each of her parents had a Lilly ancestor.
Would you be willing to swap me information on
Joseph Wood and Minnie Canterburys descendents for
your Lilly lines back to Robert? I should have 10 or
more pages of census transcriptions and such for you.
