Hi Russ,

Jim Richardson and I corrsponded occasionally and talked a few times. His collected information surely contains a lot on the Lillys and related lines. He was very sincere in saying that he did not know the names of the parents of Robert Lilly and he mentioned that at one time he, or possibly someone else, offered a reward for verifiable information leading to Robert's parents.

He was a wonderful resource and very passionate about his research.

If you would like to discuss a Lilly(s) line feel free to contact me. I can trace my roots back to Robert and Mary Lilly 6 different ways and I have been tracing Lilly descendant lines for about 10 years. At present I have about 600 Lilly obituaries on file that still need to be transcribed so I will probably be working on this line for a bit yet. Cousin Bob

Can You Trace Your Line To Robert Lilly ? Yes

Russ,
I have been researching my line for almost four years and I am at a dead stop with my gggggrandfather David R. Lilly. What I know is that he married Ruth Ann Lewis in 1820 in Shelbyville, Kentucky and died in Missouri in mid 1840s. I also know he spent time in Indiana as some of his children have birth records in Indiana. And two of his children were born in Missouri in the early 1840s. Prior to, I have nothing. Do you have him in your data? Thanks.

From what I can gather, Pleasant Lilly was "involved" with Millie and Nancy Solesberry/Solesbury/Shrewsberry. Nancy is my direct ancestor, through her daughter Frances Shrewsberry and Frances' daughter Sarah Jane Shrewsberry who married James Richmond. Sarah and James had a daughter Almeda who married William Wesley Cadle and they were the parents of my father Cecil Clark Cadle. I found Nancy's grave in the Odd area a few years ago at the Lilly Cemetery and her stone said Nancy Solesbury, even though she supposedly at some point married Pleasant Lilly. I live in WV in Summers County, but have not had enough time to do the research I wish I could do. I would love to know if my line goes to Robert Lilly................. Thank you for your help.
