NOTES:

  [Lilly2.FTW]     At least part of my info on the descendants came from the Family Tree Maker homepage Descendants of Delilah H. Payne.     "The following information comes from a book at the archives library in the Cultural Center in Charleston, WV. The book is titled, "Descendants of Josiah Meador II and His Wife Juda Lilly." THOMAS MEADOR b. 1796, a son of Jacob Meador, m. LYDIA PAYNE b. 1796. The will of Thomas Meador was probated November 1, 1858, showing Lydia as his wife and naming Nancy Lilly as a step-daughter. According to Mr. Owen Wills of Beckley, WV, the names Joab and Jacob were used interchangeably and that Jacob and his Indian wife has as their children: Thomas, Turner, Joab and Elisha. That the last three went to Kentucky and that Thomas lived in the Bluestone area after the other three left. Also that he spelled his name Meador, just as the Josiah Meadows branch did. Delilah Payne, who married Thomas Lilly II, was a sister to Lydia Payne, who married Thomas Meador. Thomas and Lydia Meador settled and lived at Old Pack Mill which was seven miles above the mouth of the Bluestone River."

NOTES:

  [Lilly2.FTW]     from a Letter dated 3-28-1999 I received from jody Mays johog@@citynet.net, I learned of Levi's second marriage to Louise Caroline Ellison daughterof John Francis Ellison and Mary Elizabeth Smith.[LillyGreyBowe.ftw]     1850 George W. and his father Levi are in home of grandfather on census so Levi and Rebecca were divorced by then. Also Rebecca was in home of Josiah Lilly #268 with daughter Frances age 4.     1870 census lists Louisa as Louisa C and 1880 lists her as L. Caroline.
 [Lilly2.FTW]

 Other than census information, I have very little information on Levi and Rebecca. I found photos of Levi on ancestry.com  The photos came from an ancesry.com user with the user name CKINCAID121
