        The following information is all from Lou Poole.  We cannot identify all of the Lilly individuals in these families.  So we are listing them here with their census records and our suggestion as to their probable parentage.  At the present time, this is the best we can do.  If you can add facts to these individuals so that we can be sure of their parentage, please let us know.  With all of the missing records, we are just not sure.  Any placement here is pretty much based on logic, not absolute proof.  If you have proof, let us know.  
        If you are looking for some of the missing sons, you may find them in other states.  For a list of Lilly's in the 1850 census who were born in NC, but lived elsewhere, see North Carolina Censuses.
        Thanks to Lou Poole for this.  It is entirely his work.

Notes:

An Anson County record,i dated 6 February 1807, records the sale from Hugh Ross to Edmund Lilly Sr. of a tract of land “S side of Rocky River; another tract crossing Camp Branch; adj Polly Ryles, Samuel Carter; wit: Armstead Lilly Sr, Armstead Lilly Jr.” One of these (the Armstead Sr.) was probably the one listed here, while the other (Armstead Jr.) was probably the son of John.

“Armstead Lilly 50 ac; warrant #5997 issued 19 Mar 1803 by Jos Parsons to Armstead Lilly for 50 ac on Deep Br and between Colson & Edmund Lilly; 50 ac surveyed 20 Mar 1804 by [page torn]; on Rocky R; border: begins at third corner spanish oak of Edmund Lilly’s 50 ac survey, joins Legrand & Johnson; Duglas Randal & Hugh Ross, chain carriers; 18 Dec 1804 Armstead Lilly paid purchase money for 30 [sic] ac in entry #5997 (signed) J Craven, compt; grant #2043 issued 18 Nov 1805.”ii

"The 1820 NC census lists no Armistead Lilly of any spelling variation, but the 1820 census of Montgomery County has been lost, so it is possible that he was living there in 1820."

A history of the Sandy Creek Baptist Associationiii reports that “Armisted” Lilly was one of the delegates from the Rocky River Baptist Church that was to meet with other Association members in 1809 and 1811. He was identified as “Elder Armistead Lilly” in the 1814 meeting, still representing the Rocky River Baptist Church.

“Friday, Aug. 29, 1817 … Married, on Thursday, on the 7th inst., by the Rev. Armstead Lilly, MR. Wm. Lilly2, late of Fayetteville, to Miss Eliza M. Winfield, daughter of Edward Winfield, Esq. of Anson County.”iv

http://www.jobschildren.com/2013/06/whispers-of-eliza-winfield-lilly.html

We have not been able to contact this person and the information is confusing.  However, William H. Lilly did take out a marriage bond in Rowan County to marry Camilla C. Tores as she states, and there is not a William H. Lilly in the census. But whichever William Lilly married Eliza Winfield in 1817 (officiated by Armistead Lilly) was likely the father of the Thomas W. Lilly she describes in the lawsuit that went all the way to the NC Supreme Court – by virtue of John Winfield’s participation in the suit. So it appears that William H. Lilly might well have had a son named Thomas, but it wasn’t the same Thomas that married Drusilla and lived past 1870. Beyond that, I don’t know what to make of the information in the above link. (The Thomas W. Lilly in the lawsuit was born ca. 1824, and apparently was never listed in the census.) 

We need more information and clarification of this.

The following proves there were two Armistead Lillys, one probably the son of Nathaniel, the other probably the son of John.

Notes:

Notes:

1 This name is very difficult to read. It is rendered “Benrd” in one census index. It could be “Busrd” or “Emnd”, but “Armsd” makes the most sense in context.

2 This William was probably William H. Lilly, oldest son of Edmund Lilly Jr.

3 This William was probably William H. Lilly, oldest son of Edmund Lilly Jr.

4 Assumes 7 children in household were his, and that there was 2 years between children’s births.

5 Assumes all 10 children were his, and 2 years between their births.

6 The two sons are probably James M. and David C. Lilly.

7 The original census (on microfilm) does appear to spell the name “Edwd,” but I am sure this is Edmund Lilly Jr.

8 Indexed as “Edmund V. Lilly”

9 The two sons are probably James M. and David C. Lilly. The two daughters are probably Mary & Eliza Lilly.

10 Thomas Pemberton married Frances, daughter of Edmund & Mary (Marshall) Lilly.
