Lilly II
John Lilly II was born in Virginia
between 1637 and
1645 and died after 1686. He
married Dorothy Wade, who
was born after 1642, died after 1677.
Their exact number of children is
unknown.
However, we have a baptism for his son John Lilly III, and we
have some land and deed records for Mary Lilly, daughter of John
Lilly, and a marriage contract for Elizabeth Lilly, daughter
of John Lilly.
I have found no trace of another child although there could
have been one.
1646
By October 1646,
John Lilly I was deceased because Mr. Edmund Chisman was named father
in
law, [i.e., stepfather] to John Lilly orphan. I would expect this to
have been relatively soon after their marriage. Note that John
Lilly's
widow
is not mentioned by name. In colonial times, it was common to
divide cattle before dispersing any other property. Note that
the
last part refers to the estate of John Lilly which would prove that the
John Lilly, orphan, was his heir. No other Lilly orphans were
named so there were probably not any other children. Note
that in
the other cases on this day, more than one child is listed. So
presumably, if there
had been another Lilly child, it would have been mentioned.
The exact age of John Lilly II is not given in
all this. He was born in Virginia after his father arrived
ca. 1637 and before this guardianship record. His father
received land for paying for the transportation of
various persons including his wife. If John II had been born
in England, he could have received extra land and surely would have
done so. But John I married in England because he received
land for
his wife.

There is
no record of his
inheriting the 350 acres his father patented in 1642. Since
he
inherited them under the law of Primogeniture, there was no
necessity
for it to pass through probate and thus the event left no paper trail.
According to the York County Genealogical Society Files, there is a
second Guardian's Report for John Lilly in 1648:

DOW (2) 180-181 [guardian’s report]
24
Aug. 1648, DOW (2) 402 –
another guardian’s report.
However,
that report has been
mistakenly transcribed as John KELLY. Having the date of
the
report, Lou Poole was able to find it. I don't think it
suggests
anything. It appears to me that is is just the last one that
survived.

Note that
John Lilly is described as of Milford Haven in the 1669 church record.
That
is the location of
his father's 1642 land patent of 350 acres, so he was surely
living there at
that time. That was in Gloucester County and he should have
gone to Kingston Parish Church near his home. He may have
come back to his wife's home for the Christening of his first son. We
are lucky that he did because the Kingston Parish Register for that
time period did not survive. Charles Parish Records are complete from
1648.
John
Lilly II married Dorothy Wade, daughter of Armiger Wade according to
the will of Armiger Wade.

Wade.
We do not have
a record of the
marriage but their son John Lilly III, was baptized in 1669.
I am not sure of the age of Mary. She could have been
born before or after John III.

The wording of the will of Armiger Wade is
noteworthy. He
refers
to the "children of my daughter Mary Hay, dec'd, and the children of my
daughter, Dorothy Lilly." The will was written January 15 and he died
January 16. So at this point, we could reasonably assume that
Dorothy was still alive and that she had children, i.e., more than one
child.

Courtesy of Lou Poole: This is the first mention of John Lilly
owning land in York County
in addition to his patent which was in Gloucester by this date.
He obviously owned or at least had control of this land by 1670. I
have suspected that
this is the land referred to in the 1688 Reade Patent. If not, I
don't know where he would have gotten it or what would have happened to
it.

John Lilly patented 234 acres in
what was then Gloucester County and
became Mathews County in 1791. Note that the land description mentions
Milford Haven. His father patented land Southwest
of Milford
Haven in
1642 so the land was probably next to his father's original patent.

Lilly courtesy of Lou Poole.
Since
this is John Lilly junr, John Lilly II was still alive
at this date. The junr would have been John Lilly III. This
courtesy reference was generally dropped after the elder individual was
deceased. Senior and junior did not necessarily mean father and son.
The terms were used more to mean older and
younger.
With more than one family in an area with the same surname,
the
senior and junior might not even have been related. There are no
surviving records which suggested that John Lilly II survived after this record.

1. John Lilly III, Christened 1669 See John
Lilly III
2. Mary Lilly, married ca. 1688 Robert Reade
3. Elizabeth Lilly, married ca. 1703 Robert Phillipson
With so much
lost in Gloucester County, we do not have a date of death or estate
record for John Lilly II. I suspect from the property inherited
by his
daughters, Mary and Elizabeth, that John Lilly III must have left
a
will which is now lost. Under the Law of Primogeniture which was
in
effect in Virginia until 1786, they would have had no claim to any land
or property unless someone gave it to them or willed it to them.
Everything would have automatically gone to his oldest son John
Lilly III, again leaving no paper trail even if the Gloucester
records had survived.
I cannot explain why land was
left to Mary and none was left to Elizabeth. However, the
contract clearly states that she received a competent marriage portion.
I just have found no clue as to what it was.
Mary Lilly
Mary Lilly appears to have been
the older daughter of John Lilly II, because she married
ca. 1688, at least 15 years before her sister married
ca. 1703. The patent says that Mary was
the daughter of John Lilly. It also says John Lilly married the
heir of Edward
Malson. There is a lot of
material on
the internet to the effect that the wife of Armiger Wade was
the daughter of Edward Malson, but that theory has been
discredited. This patent date is more than
a little bit
confusing, but it
was apparently
filed 20 October 1688, because the one after it in the book was filed
on
that date. Either Mary (Lilly) Reade married very
young or
she
was
born before
John Lilly III. It seems likely that this patent was filed
shortly after she married to nail down the ownership of the land.
Unfortunately, the
patent does not say which John Lilly married the
heiress. However, we know that John Lilly II married
Dorothy
Wade and she could not have been the Malson heiress, John Lilly
III, born
1669, was too young to have married and been Mary's
father, so we are left with John Lilly I as the only
John
Lilly who could have married the Malson heiress, and thus John
Lilly II as the only John Lilly who could have been her father.

Elizabeth Lilly
Elizabeth Lilly,
the second known
daughter of John Lilly II, married ca. 1703. The 15 years between these
dates make me
think that Elizabeth was much younger than Mary. Mary Lilly received a
gift of
land. Elizabeth, her younger sister, who married Robert
Phillipson ca. 1703, did not receive land. I checked the 1704
Quit Rent Roll which is available on Ancestry.com [paid
site]. There is no Philipson, Phillipson with any spelling.
There are Phillips but no Robert Philips or Phillips in the Quit Rent
List. I suspect that this means that there was no land
involved here. However, she obviously receved something else because
she was said to have received a competant marriage portion.
Eliazabeth Lilly in the following deed is said to have been the
daughter of John Lilly. Unfortunately, nothing is said which
proves which John Lilly is being referred to. There was only 34 years
between the date of the birth of John Lilly III, in 1669 and her
marriage in 1704. That is not enough time even if she married young. So
she must have been the daughter of John Lilly II
and Dorothy Wade.
We have
some questions about this
record. We are not sure why it is called a deed. Elizabeth
had what was called a
competent marriage portion, but no description is given. It
was
not land because his name is not in the Quit Rents of 1704.
It
appears that the individuals concerned are making this "deed" to
protect Elizabeth. In exchange for her marriage portion,
which
her husband is receiving, she is to have a jointure for her future
maintainance, if she survivies Phillipson. Lawrence Smith was a
Lawyer
which might be why he is involved. Robert Reade is her brother in law
so probably that is why he is involved. We are missing any
will
that John Lilly II might have made in Gloucester County, but I think he
must have left one. Otherwise, she would have had no claim to any
property of her father under the law of Primogeniture.
Marriage
portion is that property
which is given to a woman on her marriage. It becomes the
absolute property of her husband. Under
the law at that time, upon a marriage, the
husband acquired total rights to his wife's property. He
could
sell it, gamble it away, give it to his relatives, etc and his wife had
no recourse unless her marriage contract so specified. I
imagine
that is the reason for this contract. A jointure is an estate
or
property settled on a woman in consideration of marriage, to be owned
by her after her husband's death.
The
marriage bond seems a little
large to me. It may have been a function of the size of her
property.

deed is courtesy of Lou Poole.

Chisman
Family in
Quarterly, I., 89-98. Capt. Thomas Chisman was son of Edmund Chisman
which last made his will in 1673, and was brother of Col. John Chisman
of the Virginia Council. Capt. Thomas Chisman was a brother of Major
Edmund Chisman, a gallant officer under Bacon, who was arrested and
died in prison. The latter's wife was Lydia, niece of Capt. Farlow,
another of Bacon's officers, who is described as not only a brave man,
but expert in mathematics and engineering. Lydia had the spirit of her
uncle, and when Major Chisman was arraigned before Sir William
Berkeley, took the blame of his rebellion, upon herself, and desired to
be hanged in his stead. Captain Thomas Chisman and Elizabeth Reade, his
wife, had issue: Thomas, born about 1673, Mildred, born February 19,
1675, Elizabeth, John, Jane, George, Sarah, Anne. Of these Thomas
Chisman married Anne and had Edmund, John, George, Thomas, Ann, Mildred
and Elizabeth. Of these John
[Chisman] died about 1758; married Mary,
daughter of Dr. Robert Phillipson and Elizabeth Lilly his wife,
daughter of John Lilly, of Gloucester Co. (marriage contract in 1703).
John Lilly was son of John Lilly and Dorothy Wade (daughter of Armiger
Wade, of York Co.), [sic see notes above] and was born August 3, 1669.
John Chisman and Mary
Phillipson had issue: Catherine, born July 31, 1729, married James
Moss, and Anna, born March 15, 1730, who married Thomas Pescud; and
Pescud married 2dly Elizabeth Moss, daughter of—Moss and Mary
Chisman, daughter of Edmund Chisman above named, brother of John
Chisman, who married Mary Phillipson.
Elizabeth Lilly married Doctor Robert
Phillipson:
As the following record shows, Elizabeth (Lilly) Phillipson had died
prior to 1745, and Robert Phillipson married Mary Powell, widow of
Thomas Powell. Robert Phillipson died less than a year later in early
1746 which was written as 1745/6 in the calendar used then:

Edmund Lilly
For much more information on Edmund Lilly see
Edmund
Lilly
John III is the only known Lilly who
was of the right age to be Edmund's father. However, I would
not
be surprised to find out that Edmund was the son of an unknown
son
of the John
Lilly II who married Dorothy Wade, daughter of Armiger Wade.
The only other
possibility is that Edmund was the son of an unknown son of John Lilly
II. Since we lack his will and church records, this is possible.
