Clinton,
This is only a start, but gives some valuable information:
1.JASPER1 LILLARDHe married ISAACS.
Notes for JASPER LILLARD: The first reference of the Lollard (Lillard) name came under King Henry V of England when Thomas Lollard was knighted for his gallant bravery in the Battle of Agincourt 1415.During the English invasion of France 1420 Sir Thomas Lollard was supposed to have met a French lady of gentile birth, this romance led to marriage, as a result Sir Thomas Lollard decided not to return to Britain and gave up his knightly rights as well as changing his name to Lillard.Thomas Lillard lived in the town of Samur on the Loire River.There is about 4 generations between Thomas Lillard and his direct descendant Jasper Lillard.
