I just ran across you post in the forum. I know this may be a long shot as your post was made several years ago. I too am looking for info on the same Charles Lilly. He had a son William who had a daughter Anna, she was my great grandmother. I have hit a wall with Charles and Mary and was wondering if you by any chance may have come across any new information. I haven't even been able to pinpoint a death date for Charles, I'm assuming somewhere arount 1847 but I'm not sure. Someone thought maybe he took off to Kentucky or West Virgina but they had no proof and I can't even remember where that info came from.
