There seems to be confusion over the Names Thomas and Francis. I have seen this before and believe that that whoever did the census report was not very competant. Thomas could have been in the area and merely visiting or the taker just messed up on the name. .Lydia Lilly's mother was a pastouris(SP) If you read the census reports carefully you will find that her father was born in Germany. I you take a look at the entire census for Fayette County You will find Lilleys in German , Menellan, and other townships .It seems they were all related somehow. There are a number of lilleys buried at New Salem
