Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? Yes, 5 or 6 ways

Victoria,

I am descended from Leander "Lee" H. Lilly. His first wife was Sarah Elizabeth Harvey (1852-1891), and my great-grandmother, Mary Frances one of their nine children. He then married Elmina Florence Harvey (1875-1942). I have Mattie Pearl as the second of their eight children, b. 26 Sep 1896 in Flat Top (according to her first marriage certificate and family records). I do not have a formal death record, although family records list the death date as 26 Dec 1947. This makes sense, as in her son Fred's 1949 obituary, it is mentioned that she is already deceased.

As I alluded, Mattie was married twice: the first marriage was in 1918 to Jasper Roles; the second was in 1926 to Mel Gilbert. My information is well sourced and can be seen on Ancestry.com here:

I was even recently given a copy of a portrait of Lee Lilly and his first wife! I Photoshopped his picture out for the profile.

I see your post is several months old and although it has been responded to, perhaps this information will be of additional assistance to you.

Hope this helps,
Frank Crum
