"Richard Lilly had a large family. He married a Miss Elder of Maryland, and it seems settled in Fredrick County, Near Woodsboro. His children appear to have left their home when young. One of his daughters, Anastasia, married a Mr. McSherry and was the mother of Dr. Richard McSherry, late of Martinsburg Virginia. She was also the mother of James Mc Sherry, Esquire. Another daughter of Richard's married a Mr. Spalding who died in Baltimore many years ago, leaving three daughters, Mrs. Edward Jenkins, Mrs. Thomas Meredith and Miss Harriet Spalding. It is known that Richard had at least three children, named respectively, Ignatius, James and John, who went West when young and located in Ohio, Kentucky and perhaps one of them in West Pennsylvania, as there was a family of Lillys at or near Loretto in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, who claimed kindred to the Conewago Lillys and after whom [Lilly Station] on the Penna R.R. near Loretto was called. It was probable Ignatius settled in Ohio, James in Kentucky and John in Loretto...(2)
