Lilly Records from:
Illinois
Indiana
Michigan
Missouri
North Carolina
Ohio
        This page has information on various Lilly families who do not seem to be related to any of the several Lilly Families in Virginia. Most of them are descended from the massive New England Lilly Group, most of whom are spelled Lillie.  There are a few additional ones.  I have them here just for my convenience to try to keep the lines separate.  Since I have this information, I wanted to make available to other long suffering Lilly Researchers.


Illinois

Indiana
VALLEY OF THE UPPER MAUMEE RIVER. Volume II, (Brant and Fuller, 1889), 129-130
John Lillie of Fort Wayne, was born in Scotland, September 12, 1847, the son of John and Jane (Fowler) Lillie. The parents were natives of Scotland, the father born October 16,1819, the mother about 1821. The family came to the United States in June, 1850, and settled at Fort Wayne. The mother died at Wells county, this state, in 1852. In 1856 the father engaged in the lime and stone business at Fort Wayne, and in 1875 removed to Columbus, Ohio, where he died May 21, 1885. John Lillie is the second of five children of these parents, of whom three are now living. He received a common school education. In 1872 he became a member of the firm of James Lillie & Co., and in 1883 became sole proprietor. In January, 1884, he admitted Charles A. Munson as a partner in the manufacture of Huntington lime, with their works located at Lillie, Huntington county. The firm also deals in cement, plaster, sewer pipe, etc., and does a large business. Mr. Lillie is a valued citizen, is a representative business man, and is widely known as one of the most prominent Masons of Indiana. He has attained the thirty-second degree, is past eminent commander, Knights Templar, has been grand secretary of the grand lodge of Perfection, A. A. S. R., at Fort Wayne, since its organization March 12, 1887, and is one of the trustees of the Masonic Temple. His prominence in these fraternal connections is a valuable testimonial to his fine social qualities and worth as a man. The esteem in which he is held by those who know him best is shown by his having been elected repeatedly to represent his ward in the city council, though he is a firm republican, and his is the leading democratic ward in the city. Mr. Lillie was married March 9, 1871, to Kate Williams, of this city, who was born in Canada in 1851.

Kansas from Kentucky
Benjamin Franklin Lilly was born by about 1820 in Kentucky. But the earliest records of him are in Kansas starting in 1854.

Maryland

Frederick County, Maryland Lilly family is descended from Samuel Lilly born 1699, England.



Michigan

History of Kent County, Michigan
, (Chapman, C C & Co, 1881) 613. [Note: In the 1880 census, her father was given as born in Massachusetts.]

His parents removed to this tp., and he remained with them until 22 years of age, when he bought 40 acres of land (sec. 14), and in the spring of 1879 added by purchase 40 acres adjoining.

Missouri Another PA Lilly.
History of Southeast Missouri, (Goodspeed Pub. Co., 1888) 776
        Edward S. Lilly, a member of the late firm of Edward S. Lilly & Co., and a prominent dealer in hardware, iron and steel, is a native of Adams County, Penn. He was born in 1851, and is the son of Joseph and Catherine (Reily) Lilly. The father was born July 4, 1814. His ancestors came from England to America in 1730, and located in Pennsylvania, in which State and Maryland the family have since resided. They followed woolen manufacturing just 100 years from 1730. The mother was born in 1816. and is still living.' Her father immigrated to America from the North of Ireland in 1785. Edward S. was reared and educated in his native State and in Maryland. He engaged in agricultural pursuits until he removed from Pennsylvania to Cape Girardeau County in 1871. He was employed as clerk in Philip Reily's hardware store for nine years. This hardware establishment was founded by James I . Reily in 1848. The firm as above mentioned, Leo Doyle being the other member, succeeded Philip Reily on August 9, 1880, but on the 1st of January the partnership was dissolved. Mr.Lilly succeeding to the business. In 1881 Mr. Lilly was united in marriage with
Nattie Albert, a native of Cape Girardeau. Their union has been blessed by three children—two sons and one daughter.

[Note from June: Joseph was a descendant of Samuel Lilly, see Samily Lilly born 1699, England. Pennsylvania.]

North Carolina
Lou Poole, a long time researcher of the Lilly Family in North Carolina, believes that there is no connection between this group of Lillys in Chowan County and his own group in Anson County.  There was much immigration from England to NC  in the late 1600s.  If you look at a map, the two areas are not very close together.  The earliest record here of a Lilly is John Lilly, witness in an estate record in 1691.  Edmund Lilly of Anson County, NC did not move to NC until nearly 60 years later.  John Lilly is unlikely to be descended from the York/Gloucester County Lilly family because each generation has a known John in it. John was the son of Thomas, will dated 1712.  So this group is likely to have been a  different immigrant family. 

Charles Huches Hamlin, They Went Thataway, Three Volumes in One, (Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co, 1985),
        John Lilley, aged 27, born North Carolina, resident of North Carolina, listed the Revolutionary War Size Roll, after 1 September 1780.

FamilySearch.org has a set of the North Carolina estate records on line.  The indexed database consists of images of the original estate records.  I do not know if this database includes all surviving records, but I was told that it does.  
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/1911121

There are two sets of records for pre 1800 Lilly's here.  One is for Thomas Lilly who apparently died ca. 1743, who left records in Chowan and Craven. The second is from a John Lilly died ca. 1767, left an estate in Currituck County, North Carolina.  

If these are your people, you can read these on line at the above site.  As far as we know there is no relationship between the Lilly family of Anson County and this group.  I would very much like to hear from a descendant of this family with a view to a YDNA test.  
Ohio

This group is probably descended from Samuel Lilly born 1699, England.

There is much additional information on the Deiter line, and the Ames line which I did not copy.
This may be a relative of Richard Lilly of Frederick County, Maryland.

I don't know what the connection is, but this family has a YDNA match to the descendants of Edmund Lilly of Goochland.
