LILLY, born in New York State, possibly Silver Creek, Chautauqua Cty. Married to Mary Schocker and had 3 children, George Edward b. 1885, Lucy b 1887, Carlton b 1889 (Carlton was adopted by John and Celestia Derby Pratt and lived in Perrysburgh, Cattaraugus Cty). Looking for verifiable proof that he left the family around 1889 or 1890 and moved to Bradford, PA then eventually ended up in Bolivar, NY. Any information about this man is greatly appreciated.
