I have wondered about Samuel Lilley because of his birth and location....they seem logical....the information you have provided is very intriguing and I will certainly keep trying to find my 3rd great grandmother's birth parents ;) I am an amateur at this but find it so rewarding when I can put the pieces together. Thank you so much for your response and help! Nance
I see you've tested your DNA at 23andMe. I don't know if you've found any matches there to connect to your Lilley lineage. If you haven't also uploaded your results to GEDMatch or MyHeritage, that might be worth trying, to see if you can make Lilley connections. This lineage is my ex-husband's, and I manage his DNA at Ancestry, FTDNA, GEDMatch, and MyHeritage. If you happen to upload to any of those sites, do let me know. I'll keep an eye out for you and see if you match my husband, as well as any other known Samuel Lilley descendants.
