Possibly, but who knows?I have been able to identify three different Nancy Lillards, all related (first or second cousins descended from Capt. John and Susannah Lillard)and born abt. 1785, and I have specifics about only one of them.
My Nancy Lillard was b. abt. 1786 and was the only child of Thomas and Molly (Field) Lillard.(Thomas m.(2) Nov. 1791, Susanna Slaugter and five children.)She m. Sept. 15, 1806, Samuel Thompson, reportedly the son of Leonard and Mary Thompson.(I have found neither proof nor support documentation that these two Samuel Thompsons are, in fact, one in the same.)Another of Leonard and Mary Thompson's sons was a Richard Thompson about whom I know nothing further.
Samuel Thompson's will (dated Aug. 10, 1813; proven Dec. 13, 1813), a copy of which I possess, names sons Thomas C., Lewis and Richard Thompson and indicates wife Nancy is pregnant (daughter Emily).A descendant of daughter Emily, I possess no further information of any kind about sons Thomas C., Lewis or Richard Thompson.
If nothing else, the naming patterns certainly suggests a connection.
