He was raised by his grandparents, Ira and Ophelia Newberry (Hazel's parents)). Foye and Hazel together had four girls (Shirley, Linda, Margaret and Marian (twins)). Linda, the middle daughter, married Stan Wells, so the 'L. W." in the DNA matches is Linda Wells, a sister to Margaret, and 1st cousin to your mother.

     John M. Lillard III married Elizabeth B. Penny, daughter of John Penny Sr.,
; Eaking [1983:63] says that Aggan Chiles married John Lillard, Jr.and that "After Aggah Chiles Lillard died, her husband married Elizabeth ... Penny." However, it seems that Eakin has confused John Lillard Jr. with his son, John Lillard, III. According to others, it is the son who married Elizabeth Penny.^2,3
John M. Lillard III died after 17 January 1821 at Mercer Co., Kentucky, USA; Ralph E. Lillard gives date of 8 Jan., but will of "John Lillard, Jr." (Mercer Co., KY Will Book 7, pp. 23-26) is signed 17th day of January 1821. This will lists Elizabeth Penny as wife, a son Clement, and John Penny Sr. as father-in-law.

The will is by "John Lillard Sr."^4,5,6

His estate was probated on 8 January 1823 at Mercer Co., Kentucky, USA.²

John M. Lillard III left a will on 17 January 1821; per Lillard [1991, p. 867]: "His Will (Will of John Lillard [III], Jan. 17, 1821 (recorded July, 1821), Mercer County, KY, Will Bk. 7, p. 23...") gives the following relationships: Son, Clement LIllard; father-in-law, John Penny, Sr; wife, Elizabeth Lillard. The settlement of his estate mentions, William S. Butts, and his wife the late Frances Lillard, daughter of the deceased; Clement Lillard the only son o fthe deceased; and Elizabeth Lillard, the youngest child."¹
In Capt. John Lillard Jr.'s will dated 6 December 1837 at Anderson Co., Kentucky, USA, John M. Lillard III was named as an heir;      The will of John Lillard, Jr., was probated in the Anderson County Court on June 12, 1843 and provides:

General Christopher C. Lillard was buried after 17 August 1855 at family cemetery located on the farm of Walter Major, Anderson Co., Kentucky, USA.¹⁰
      ; Lillard [1991, pp. 875-876]: "In the War of 1812, Christopher Lillard was a member of Captain Ellerston's Mounted Infantry, also served under Capt. Robt. McAfee, Colonel Richard M. Johnson's Regiment; also served in Capt. Thomas Moore's company under Major Peter Dudley. He enlisted three times during the period of this war. He was commissioned from a lieutenant through the grades to commanding General of Kentucky troops. In 1928, the original Commissions were in the possession of Marion W. Ripy of New York. These commissions bear the signatures of Governors Shelby, Adair, Slaughter, Desha and others and are countersigned by John Breckenridge and T. T. Crittenden.

General Lillard was sent as a member of a reconnoitering party to capture the Indian Chief Proctor when he fled after the Battle of the Thames. They followed Proctor into the wilds of Canada some eight or ten miles and then returned without capturing him. During this advance General Lillard killed an Indian and also a British Dragoon [soldier]. Dr. Gustavus Dedman Lillard of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, originally had the old pistol taken from the British Dragoon. The pistol is today in the collections of the Kentucky Historical Society, Frankfort, Kentucky. In 1928, Christopher Marion Lillard, Jr., had the tomahawk taken from the Indian, but its whereabouts today are unknown. The tomahawk, by the crosses scratched on the handle, indicated it had been used to kill at least a dozen men, women and children. This information is determined from the crosses: a large double cross indicates a man; a large single cross a woman; a small single cross a child. For years the family had the Indian's scalp.

Sallie Ann (Blackwell) Lillard died during a great Cholera epidemic which spread throughout central Kentucky in 1833 claiming many hundreds of lives. About ninety people died in the Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, area during this epidemic. General Lillard and his second wife, Minerva (Lillard) Lillard, died of Cholera during a less severe epidemic which struck central Kentucky in 1855."¹¹

Lillard, for the purchase of a horse from him the said $100.00 to be paid the said Thomas in money which
shall constitute their entire portion of all my estate that might be coming to them, and should they each die leaving no issue of their body, then the above legacy to return to my estate.
     ITEM 9 I give to my son, Thomas J. Lillard, and his heirs forever a sum of money that shall make him equal including what is charged him in my account book with my son Christopher Lillard.
     ITEM 10 I give to my grandchildren, John and Ellender Dawson, children of my daughter, Agnes Dawson, dec., or the survivors of them one Negro woman named Malinda and her increase together with $200.00 to each of them or the survivors of them which shall be their entire portion of all my estate, but should they die having no children the said legacy to revert again to my estate.
     ITEM 11 I give to my son, James C. Lillard, and his heirs forever all that is charged to him in my book of accounts, provided it does not excel the amount charged to my son, Christopher Lillard, and if it does the overpart be deducted therefrom.

Also in addition, at my death, one-third part as much as will be coming to my other children provided he lives to the year of twenty-one, but if he dies he is not to inherit it.

     ITEM 14 The remaining part of my estate not here named in my will nor in my account book as charged to my children I wish sold by my executors and the proceeds arising therefrom to be equally divided amongst my surviving children and heirs, except my grandchildren Erastus and John Mclane, John and Ellender Dawson, and John Whittington whose portions are already assigned them by this will. That my executors sell the estate on a credit of twelve months and that my Negros, Patta, Martha, George, and Emily and the balance of them be purchased by someone of my heirs that they be retained in the family of my children.
     ITEM 15 I will to my two little grandchildren, Agnes McGinnis, daughter of Elizabeth McGinnis, and Elizabeth Ann Lillard, daughter of Christopher Lillard, fifty dollars each in consequence of their great likeness as I conceived of their dec. grandmother Agnes Lillard, my beloved wife, provided they live till after my death.
     ITEM 16 I wish my executors, heirs, and all herein contained or concerned distinctly to understand that I have charged in my book of accounts, and so far as it goes, found a part of this will and testament which is here enclosed with the same, and is designed as directions to my executors to lead and guide them in the distribution of my estate.
     ITEM 17 I wish my family burying ground (if I do not have it posted and railed with cedar posts or enclosed with a stone wall during my life) my executors to have it done after my death and the expense thereof together with my other funeral expenses to be paid out of my estate.
     ITEM 18 I appoint my sons Christopher Lillard and Thomas J. Lillard or the survivors of them who may qualify as the executors of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all others heretofore made by me. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 6th day of December, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven.
