Re: Is This correct????History of the Lilly Family in America
ABSOLUTlLY NOT!!
Uncle Abe and others wasted five thousand dollars on that piece of fiction of Gustav Anjou! Go to ancestry.com; search for Robert Calvin Lilly, and check out Eden's Harvest. Have corrected almost all of that old nonsense, but if in doubt, send message through ancestry. My early mistakes from being over eager and latching onto other tree info may still be on there somewhere. Our Lilly ancestors did not come over on The Ark and the Dove. They were not Maryland settlers in Lord Calvert's Catholic colony. I live in Maryland and confirmed that they were NOT on that ship with The Ark and the Dove Society. If the official caretakers have no record of the Lillys, how could Anjou have found one?
Our Lilly ancestors were VIRGINIA colonists. By the way, that three century nonsense was just lazy "research" in combining several generations of Roberts into one person. People could theoretically lived in three centuries, but they weren't having children in their eighties. Robert and Mary, not Isaac and Sarah!
