Rodney Lillard, owner of Mill Valley Barbecue in Madison County, VA, catered the Barbecue at Germanna's Reunion this year. All of you who attended know how good the food was! I had had some prior conversations with Rodney about his Germanna ancestors prior to the Reunion (he didn't know too much about them), and when he came, he brought me a copy of the family trees his mother worked on. I was very excited to see that we were 5th cousins through Samuel Carpenter and Margaret "Peggy" Blankenbaker, which means Rodney is also a Kerker and a Finks. We are also 6th cousins through Blind John Yager and Mary Margaret Wilhoit, which means he is also a Weaver and a Clore. He is an Aylor all the way back to Henry Aylor and Barbara Carpenter, But wait, that's just his mother's side of his family! On the Lillard side, Rodney is a Weaver, Carpenter, Kaifer and Crisler, and Yowell. He also has a KOONTZ ancestor. What I wanted help with is that he does not have any information on the parents of JULIUS UTZ and ELLIE WILHOIT. I thought that maybe someone would be able to help fill in this spot on the family tree for Rodney. JULIUS UTZ and ELLIE WILHOIT were the parents of SILAS UTZ (12 Mar 1807--20 Jan. 1892). It would be fun to be able to fill Rodney (or his mother) in on this line. Can anyone help? Virginia Nuta
