At the time I was doing this research, I
was living
in Northern Virginia. I used to drive to Richmond every
Saturday
to do research in the Virginia State Library which has either the
originals, a microfilm, or bound copies of all the extant civil and
church records of early Virginia. So this material is
abstracted
from original records. I have copies of nearly all of them and will try
to post the most important later.
FRAUDULENT
RECORDS
EXTRACTED FROM
GUSTAVUS ANJOU PAPERS
This is originally from
Gustav Anjou who created fictional
pedigrees. There is absolutely no evidence that it
is true. I personally went to the relevant French
record
depositories and none of the records he mentions actually
exists.
There is no evidence that it might ever have existed in the
records. I took the French part of this to the archives with me and the
head archivist said it was not real. The same is true of all
of
his known pedigrees.
The research he quotes from the US is scrambled and does refer
to
some actual records. But he has the people all put together
wrong. The French and Swedish records and dates are from his
imagination. There is
no record of
this family in that area of France or the area of Sweden he quotes. In
actuality, the Lilly family is probably English.
I was
told that he put together
this Lilly-Lilley-Lillie Pedigree for Eli Lilly of the Lilly Drug
Company who paid him $25000 in the early 1900s for it. If you are
curious, look up Gustav Anjou on Google. If you have any of
this
book, you will be better off to throw it away.
Please do not
post
it anywhere on the internet unless you say the facts are a lie.
It is a very thick book and tempting to use because it has to
much in it. DO NOT USE ANYTHING FROM THE BOOK. IT
IS ALL
CONTAMINATED. If you have any research stating that our Lilly family was
born
in France, please throw it away.
The
following is Not True. No such will ever existed according to
the local
record repository in France. Also the ages are totally wrong.
Item, to my sons Edmond, Robert and Armiger Lillie, planters in
America, a sum of twenty livres each, payable by my executor, Jean
Lillie, my oldest son, whom I hereby appoint residuary legatee.

Other
Mythological Lilly events are all over the internet and published in
various books. I am not repeating them because I don't want
to
perpetuate them any more than I need to. One of them that
particularly irritates me is the story of the Ark and the
Dove.
Please Google this. You will find that they came to
Maryland in the early 1600s. The story is long and
complicated,
but the complete passenger list is available on the following
site. There is no
Lilly or a name which might have been a Lilly. Please do not
perpetuate this myth.

The following data is from
actual records.
There may or may not be errors, but at least it is not
fraudulent. You will see that I have organized this in an unusual way.
I am giving the source and then a complete transcription of
the
source. In this way, you can retrace my steps easily.
In
some cases the records have to be interpreted, but I have tried to be
careful to differentiate between my interpretation and what
the
record actually says. I think that such precision is
desperately
needed in a family that is so rife with myth and fraud and error. I am
trying not to perpetuate any of those.
Lilly
Geography, Records, and Church Problems
Records
of this family can be
found in the following Virginia Counties. In many cases, the
boundaries moved around their land which makes them appear to have
moved when in fact, the family lived on the same land for
upwards
of a
century. The following information is from Wikipedia.org
Henrico County was founded in 1634 as one of the eight original Shires
of Virginia. It is one of the oldest counties in the
United
States.
Goochland
County, Virginia was formed
in 1728 and was the first county to be formed from Henrico.
Albemarle County, Virginia was formed in 1744 from Goochland.
Cumberland County, Virginia was formed in 1749 from Goochland.
Fluvanna County, Virginia was formed in 1777 from Albemarle [which was
formed from Goochland].
Amherst County,
Virginia
formed in 1761 from southern part of
Albemarle County.
York County, Virginia formed 1634 as one of the original
shires.
Gloucester County,
Virginia was
formed 1651 from York County.
These are
very old counties and
they kept excellent records. Unfortunately, most of
the
records of Henrico, Hanover, Goochland, Gloucester, York, and Albemarle
did
not survive
the Civil War. At the start of the war, the Virginia government called
for all church and civil records to be sent to Richmond because "they
would always protect" Richmond and might not be able to protect the
local courthouses. The records were put into two warehouses.
If you have seen the famous mural of Richmond Burning,
by Julien Binford, you can guess
what happened. One warehouse burned, the other survived.
Unfortunately for us, most of the oldest counties in
Virginia,
around the James River, lost all or most of their records.
Luckily for us, Fluvanna County records did survive. But
Goochland, Albemarle, Gloucester, and Henrico have only partial
records.
Lou Poole sent me this map which
I think is helpful because it shows
the bunched location of the counties in question. This is a map
of Virginia which shows the modern boundaries. Note that the counties
are all around the James River. All of the early land purchased
by this family was within a few miles of each other and within a few
miles of the James River.
Color code: Black (Fluvanna), Yellow (Goochland), Blue (Louisa),
Red (Albemarle), and Green (Cumberland). Look at the rivers to see the
direction of population growth and settlement.
Lou Poole sent me this gem so
that we can place the members of this
family in and around Fluvanna County. The following map of the Fluvanna County
area is intended to show the approximate locations where these
three families settled. Edmund Lilly settled on Byrd Creek on the
county line of what is now Fluvanna and Goochland counties. Ralph
Flippen settled south of the James River on Muddy Creek on the county
line of what are now Cumberland and Powhatan counties. Stephen Bedford
settled south of the James River on Deep Creek in what is now Powhatan
County. No location is shown for Edmund Lilly Jr. since there is no
record of his owning land prior to his departure for North Carolina. I
do not show a location for Thomas Lilly because I do not yet have a
descriptive enough location for him, though I think he was living
relatively close to his father, Edmund Lilly.
According to the Geographic Names Information System
(GNIS), Great Byrd Creek is a variant name of Byrd Creek. Thomas's land
was on Great Creek so perhaps that that is the same as Byrd Creek.
\
Church
Records
The only legal and legitimate church in
colonial
Virginia was
the Church of England, which was called the Established Church.
[From this comes what used to be the longest word in the
English
language, antidisestablishmentarianism] The Established
Church kept wonderful records. Again, they went to Richmond at
the start of the war to provide fuel for the fire. Only
a few survived. The boundaries of the
parish records do
not follow the county lines and changed drastically on a regular basis
with shifts in the population.
It is often difficult to know exactly what parish a piece
of land
was in during
any particular time period.
The best
church records for our
subject are those in the Douglas
Register.
These were the private records of a
minister and thus were not sent to Richmond. Written by
William
Douglas, The Douglas Register
is described
as being a detailed record of births, marriages and deaths
together with other interesting notes, as kept by the Rev. William
Douglas, from 1750-1797. The book includes an index of
Goochland
Wills and notes on the French-Huguenot [sic] refugees who
lived in
Manikin-Town. It was originally published in Richmond, Virginia: J.W.
Fergusson & Sons, 1928.
He was minister of the Dover Church in St. James Northern Parish, in
Goochland, Virginia. Scans of this book are on Ancestry. Scans
are available free
on Google Books.
Many of
the dates you
commonly see on this family are from this book. However, the
minister did one odd thing. If he had not married
the
parents, he recorded their marriage as the date of birth of
their
child. This has led to some confusion by people who just take
the
date from the book and don't read the description of the information.
I used a later edition published 1966 so
the page
numbers may not
be the same as what you are using.
A few parts of other parish records of
Virginia
still exist.
There were some Baptist and Methodist Churches in the later
years
of Virginia, but you will find that they were not interested in keeping
the kind of records we are interested in. The wonderful
records
from the German and Dutch Churches in New Jersey, New York, and
Pennsylvania, did not exist in Virginia. There are a few
Quaker
Church records also. Remember
that in early years these non conformist churches were actually illegal
in Virginia. This was not changed until after the American Revolution.
There are a number of church records in Richmond but most of them are
too late to be of interest.
Laws of Virginia
Some
of the assumptions that I have
made on this website are based upon the laws of Virginia.
These
laws are important in doing research here.
Law
of Primogeniture:
This
meant that the eldest son
always inherited the entire estate of his father. It was not split
among the children. In most states, the
transfer of land leaves a paper trail, either in deeds, probate
records, court records, etc. This is not true in Virginia and
that explains some of the oddities of the records.
Primogeniture meant
that the heir of any man was his eldest son. If the eldest
son
died without issue, the property went to his oldest brother, not his
father as you might have expected. Consequently, if you
wanted to
leave something to someone else, it was necessary to deed it or will it
elsewhere. Slaves were often deeded to younger children and
to
daughters. If they were not deeded, the eldest son
ended up
with all of the property including slaves. If there was no son, it went
to a
nephew, etc. Thomas Paulett, for example, deeded a slave to
his
daughter, Elizabeth Paulette. She married William Lilly
who thereafter paid taxes on that slave. If the property,
land or whatever, was not deeded or willed, it became the absolute
property of the oldest son. There are cases on the books
where
land was patented in the 1600s and not sold until many years later and
that was the first paper deed on the property. The Law of Primogeniture
ended in Virginia in 1786.
Land
Ownership: Patents and Warrants
and Grants:
There are in theory three ways to acquire land. One is to
purchase it from an individual which requires a deed. The second way
was to purchase it from the Crown or government. Before the
revolution, this purchase was called a land patent. After the
revolution, it was called a grant of land. You could purchase
land from the government for money or using a warrant which was a kind
of voucher issued by the government in payment for service of some
kind. This could be traded for land. The other obvious way to
get
land is to inherit it or to marry someone who owns it. So
when we
find a person who owns land, we need to know how he got it because that
can gives more information about his life.
The Law for
Women:
Women
were not
heirs. When they married, their husbands assumed ownership of any
property and kept control over it. For this reason men often deeded or
willed property to their daughters to make sure they were taken care
of. A spouse had a slightly better situation. She
was
assumed to have a dower right in any land that her husband owned.
For this reason, a wife had to sign the deed for the
sale of
land to be valid. For example:
John Lilly sold to Henry Holeman,
all individuals of Goochland County, on 19 April 1802, 104 1/4 acres,
same
description as the land he purchased in 1799, wife is
described as
Polly
Lilly, but she signed as Mary Lilly. [Goochand Deeds: Vol 18: 378]. Six
years later, Mary Lilly, separately
from her husband, John Lilly, acknowledges relinquishment of dower
right. This relinquishment was dated 12 January 1807, and took
place in Shelby County,
Kentucky, but was recorded in Goochland County. [Goochland Deeds: vol
20: 31} Presumably, the deed was not valid because of the
difference between the name and the signature.
However,
it is important to point
out that this relinquishment of dower right was occasionally filed
separately from the time and place that the deed itself was recorded.
I am told that this happened more in other counties than in
the
ones we are dealing with.
A lack of
a signature of a wife,
therefore, is a strong indication that there was no wife.
Occasionally,
an
error was made, but I think in Virginia that was the exception.
Marriages:
According to Hening's Statutes, the
marriage act of
1748 was in effect until after 1800. This act provided that
any
individual under 21 had to have the consent of the guardian. This
applied to both males and females. The records of Fluvanna County,
Virginia
include large numbers of consent forms. It is not clear if
the
records are complete because they consist of small pieces of paper.
These have been microfilmed but are very difficult. I have
therefore relied on the published records Each of these books
varies slightly. I have included in the notes when
these
books differ. For the most part, if a person getting married
did
not have a consent form, the person was over 21, and if they did have a
consent form they were under 21. Undoubtedly, there my be
individual errors in the records, but I have used this basis to
establish a person's approximate age when other information is not
available. This becomes extremely important in dealing with the
children of Armiger and William Lilly because we do not, for the most
part, have solid records of their ages.
Previous to the 1748 marriage act, the
1632 statue were in place which also required either party to the
marriage to be 21 but was not phrased as specifically so presumably
this is the reason for the 1748 marriage act. There was an
additional act in 1696 which did not address the subject of ages.
Prior to the Revolutionary War,
the churches were required to keep vital records such as birth and
marriage, and sometimes death. About 1781, Fluvanna County
government began to keep marriage records. These are mostly
extant. There are marriage records and consent forms and bonds.

Possible
Ancestry of Edmund Lilly
Ann Flippen Flippen/Flipping
Edmund
Lilley Family
Some of
the dates here are
strictly a theory. I have tried to make all the
facts fit
into a cohesive theory. Basically, the single birth
date
for anyone in this family is for Mary Lilly.
Her
obituary
gives an age at death of 101 in 1839 and obituaries are not always
right. The dates are too early for
anything
except church records or tombstones which did not survive.
According to the William Douglas in the Douglas Register,
no parish record
was kept in the area until he came in 1751. Consequently, I have had to
work with the dates I do have. I have
assumed a male's marriage date to be over 21 and perhaps older.
Women tended to marry slightly younger. They tended
to have
the first
child about two years after their marriage. Legal documents
required that the signature be that of an adult, although I am told
that a lad of 16 would witness a document. With these
parameters in mind, I have made the following deductions.
If
anyone sees an inference I have missed or has an additional detail that
would affect these ages, please contact me. I would be
delighted
to hear from you.
Edmund
Lilley,
probably born earlier than 1704. The
first sure record I have of him is in 1735, in a Goochland
County
Court Record. He appears to have had children born well before 1730,
first child perhaps in 1725-6. He died between 1777 and
1782 from deed records. He purchased land in 1739, but I
think he
was on the land before
1739. I assume this
from discussions with specialists at the Virginia State
Archives,
who told me that it usually took some years to get a patent registered.
The age of his oldest known son, Armiger, is in question but
he
may have been
born ca. 1725-6. Edmund sold land in 1742 which I can
not
find him acquiring. He might have purchased it before
Goochland
was
formed from Henrico in 1728. Henrico records mostly did not survive.
It does not appear to have been part of his 1739 grant.
This is the last date of any record when he was alive. In the Fluvanna County, Virginia Deed Records: Edmond Lilly to Nicholas Daniels [or Darnell], Bk. 1, p. 53 6
Nov. 1777, selling his land bounded by Benj. Johnson,x Arthur Hopkins,
John Anthony, new line. £200. (page of 26 March 1739)
Ann
Flippen, probable wife of Edmund Lilly,
possibly born sometime before 1705. She was
still alive when John wrote his will in Albemarle County
in 1759 because he mentions his mother, although he does not give her
name. Ann died before
1766 when Edmund sold land without
her. These dates are from the deed records. Her first name is
in
her mother's will and in the 1742 deed of sale. If her son Armiger was
indeed born around 1725-6, she was probably about 21 + or - when he was
born.
Lineage Society Service
Service for DAR or SAR Membership. I
was told
that the signature of Edmon[sic] Lilley, William Lilly and Armiger
Lilly on
the 1776 petition is considered service by the DAR. However, more
recent information from the gurus in the NSDAR library say that this is
not so. A descendant
of Ann Lilly who married John Shepherd was trying this.
[Note spelling on signatures.] Note from the 1777 deed, Edmund
was still alive at the date these were signed in 1776.

of Virginia Genealogy, Volume
36, Winter 1998, Number 1 [The
10,000 names are indexed in this periodical. It is available
at
many libraries and is also supposed to be on Ancestry.]

Petitions: The Ten Thousand Name Petition," by Joan Picket Hall starts
page 26.

[Fluvanna
County] page 11 Xc-3 of petition. See Library of Virginia website.
Armiger
Lilly,
William Lilly, Edmon Lilley All of them signed this.
The 10,000 name petition
(dated
16 October 1776) has been digitized at the Library of
Congress website It was signed by
people
from all over
Virginia who wanted an end to persecution of Baptists by the
Established Church. Baptists and Baptist sympathizers alike signed the
petition.
Robert Lilly who was the son of Armiger Lilly became a
Baptist minister so the family would have been sympathetic to
this
cause. There are Quaker connections to the family so that may also affect their attitude to the Established Church.
I had been unable to find the actual signatures but Mesa Foard spent
some time on this and sent me the exact location of the signatures. All
of the Lilley signatures are on page 111. See the center column of
signatures. I think this is great because we do not usually
see the actual record with their real signatures.
http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=relpet&fileName=000/013/013page.db&recNum=110
Armiger is level with the 1776 on the label on the right. William
is the seventh signature down from Armiger. Edmon ]no d] is the
fifth signature down from William.
Armiger
Lilly sold supplies to
the army
which is his patriot service. William did not.
However, he
signed the above petition. Both are in the tax records of 1783.
Edmond is not. He appears to have died between 1776 and 1783.
There is another recently discovered source of service. To
become a member of the DAR or SAR, you must show that your ancestor
aided the cause of
the American Revolution. This could be by serving in the Army
or
in
the militia or by selling wheat to the Continental Army, for
example.
Just recently it was discovered that the statutes in MD and VA that
enacted the 1783 tax stated that the tax would help pay for
supplies
that the State was required to furnish to the Army. In Pennsylvania,
everyone on
the supply tax lists, which are published in the PA Archives and free
at Fold3, is eligible. This means that many more people will be
eligible to join the DAR and SAR. Nearly all of the 1783 Virginia tax lists
survived
and are available on microfilm from the LDS library. Thus, the
descendants of John Shepherd, William Lilly, Armiger Lilley and Thomas
Lilly are all eligible.
Tax
Records of Fluvanna County, Virginia
Interesting Unprovable Speculation
I have been reading a book about
the life of Thomas Jefferson, who was born in 1743 in Goochland County.
The area became part of Albemarle County when it was formed in 1744. A
search of Google will show that Monticello was not far as the crow
flies from the land of the Lilly family. At the age of 9, in
1752, Jefferson was sent to the school at Dover, Goochland County, run
by the Reverend William Douglas. Out Lilly family went to this
church for at least a time because this is the same person who kept a
notebook which includes information on some of the early Lilly
marriages and children. Jefferson studied Latin, Greek, French,
etc. I think this is amazing at the age of 9????
The book suggests, rightly or
wrongly, that his lifelong objection to religion was instilled in him
at this time. I have theorized that Thomas Lilly was born ca.
1737, and that Robert Lilly was born ca. 1742. If so, they would
have been of an age and a class to have been sent to the same school.
The other boys were older and probably had a tutor at home
originally. We must remember that this Lilly family was of the planter
class which educated it's sons. This did not just mean instilling
the ability to sign their names, it meant giving them some kind of a
gentleman's education. Since this was not only the closest
school, but the only one close by, it is very possible that these two
Lilly boys went to school with Thomas Jefferson. The Lilly family was
more prosperous that the Jefferson family, although with less important
political connections. Jefferson was connected to the powerful
Randolph and Eppes families.
I have not yet found any evidence
of what years this school existed. However, Douglas only came to
the church there in 1750 although the church was built in 1720. Douglas
stated that there was no Parish Register kept before he came.
At least it is fun to think they
might have met.
The book is Thomas Jefferson: An
Intimate History, by Fawn M. Brodie, published 1974. It is
interesting to read the first part because of the description of his
life in Virginia at the same time our ancestors were there.
Proved and Likely Children of Edmund Lilly and Ann Flippen:
1. Armiger
Lilly son of Edmund Lilly,
perhaps born perhaps ca. 1726. He was probably born before his
father
moved to Goochland. He must have inherited his
father's land by law of primogeniture because he sold pieces of it
later
on and there are no deed records to prove his ownership. I don't have an
exact birth or death date for him but his will is dated
1805. There is a marriage for an Armiger Lilly in the Douglas
Register to an unnamed spouse
in 1751. His first known
child was Armiger Lilly, junior, born 1763. This suggests that his
first wife may have died and that he married again ca. 1760 to the
an Elizabeth, who was the mother of his children. The first time the
name Elizabeth appears is in
some of the land records. All of this depends on the ages of
their children which I
have not totally figured out. This Elizabeth died and he
married
another Elizabeth who survived him. Just to add a little complication
to this, his brother, William Lilly, also left a widow named
Elizabeth.
? Edmund
Lilly (II) born perhaps ca. 1728,
moved to
Anson County, North Carlina. The descendants of this
person
believe strongly that he was a son of Edmund. However, we
have to
remember that
this Edmund could also have been a nephew. I feel sure that
there
is a
connection. If he was in fact a son born 1728, the age of
Armiger
Lilly must be adjusted backwards because we know that Armiger was the
eldest son because of the Law of Primigenture.
Note that
this Edmund sold land to
John Lilly of Albemarle County, Virginia, for a token
amount of
money, indicating some relationship. William Lilly, brother
of
John Lilly, witnessed the will. It is hard to explain this deed without
accepting a close relationship between the three Lilly males, Edmund,
John, and William.

for 5 shillings Va. money...land on N side Pee Dee,
upper end of Buffelow Island, 197 A, granted Edmond LILLEY
1753...EDMOND LILLY (SEAL), Wit: WILLIAM LILLY,
WILLIAM
QUEEN.
2. John
Lilly son of Edmund Lilly, possibly
born ca. 1730, died 1759. His will is dated 1759. He
names his father,
Edmund, his brother, William and his sister, Mary. His mother is
mentioned, but not named. Note in the
inventory attached to the will that he owned indigo which is grown in
North Carolina. This fits in the the assumption that he is
the
John Lilly who was in North Caroline a few years before his
death. That John purchased land in 1754, so must
have been an adult by then. His will mentions no wife or
child so
presumably he did not marry.
In his will, he left his single valuable asset to his brother,
William Lilly, who was in North Carolina with him.
3. William
Lilly son of Edmund
Lilly, and his wife, Elizabeth Paulette, perhaps
born before 1732-4. William
Lilly
married Elizabeth Pollet 26 September 1764 from the Douglas Register.
This is date of
birth for their daughter Ann. So he possibly married two years before
in 1762. He witnessed the North Carolina deed in 1754 so must have been
considered an adult by then. So he must have been born by ca.
1736. Remember that the Douglas
Register lists birth dates as
marriage dates.
? Thomas
Lilly, born perhaps ca. 1737 as
his
first known child was born in 1760 in Fluvanna County. Thomas Lilly appears in
the tax
records of Fluvanna County until about 1790. Some of his
children
were in the Douglas Register.
Edmund Lilly sold him land. His will was written in 1810 and
is
in the Bourbon County, Kentucky will book. The children from
the
Douglas Register are in that will. So I am reasonably sure
that
we are talking about the same Thomas Lilly. It seems likely
that
he is another son of Edmund but that is by no means proved.
4. Mary
Lilly, daughter
of Edmund Lilly, born ca. 1738, married
John Shepherd perhaps
ca. 1759. Her first child was in the Douglas Register. Born
to
John Shepherd and Mary Lilly: David B: 9 Jun 1761; Bap: 9 Nov
1761
p 61 Her age at death, 1839, was 101 according to an obituary in the Religious Herald.
Gorden Lilly sent
me this obituary. She is known to have been the daughter of
Edmund, because her brother, John, mentioned her in his will.
? Robert
Lilly, possibly born ca. 1742,
moved
to what is now Giles County, West Virginia. Although many dates are
given for him this one seems the most likely. I would be happy to
hear about some proof of this. He is supposed to have married
a
Frances Moody. He was in the area, and there is a DNA
connection
which makes me think it likely that he was a son of Edmund.
This is by no means proved. I often see that he
was born
in 1720. Apparently, someone took this date from Gustav Anjou without
saying so and without realizing that the entire Anjou manuscript is a
fraud. Nothing in it is correct.
The Flippen Theory
Elizabeth Flippen left a will
in Cumberland County, Virginia
referring to her daughter Ann Lille. For more on this see the
Flippen/Flipping page.
Cumberland County is on the southeast border of Fluvanna County.
According to Lou Poole, they lived on Muddy Creek which is
just a
few miles from the land of Edmund Lilly.
Theory
of the Ancestry of Edmund Lilly
The name Armiger in the family has led many
researchers including
myself to suspect that the Edmund Lilly of Fluvanna County was
descended from John Lilly and
Dorothy Wade, daughter of Armiger Wade, of York and Gloucester
Counties. There has
been much speculation that their son,
John, born 1669, was Edmund's father.
Armiger
Wade's will, pr. April 24, 1677, mentions sons, John Hay, John
Lilly and Armiger Wade;
daughters, Mary Hay, dec'd and Dorothy Lilly,
