Sarah BECKER Lilly born in MO about 1866
I am researching my LILLY line.My great grandfather was John Bernard Lilly, born about 1896 in Arkansas,and I had not confirmed his mother, Sarah's, maiden name (thought to be Becker or Beckner), or the first name of his father.I had been told it was Louis, but had no documentation.
Today, I stumbled across a piece of information that I did not have previously.The LDS has Jefferson County, Missouri marriage license records v.1, 1881-1885 on film# FHL US/CAN FILM 966085 item 2
Lewis J. Lilly married Sarah E. Becker on 19 JULY 1885 in Jefferson, Missouri.
Sarah Lilly, widowed, age 34, is on the 1900 federal census in Clay County, Arkansas, which shows children Edward, William, Thomas, and Charley being born in Missouri, and the two youngest, Rosa and John, being born in Arkansas.Given the birth years for the children, it looks like Lewis died sometime between 1895 and 1900 (when the census was taken).The only birthplace info I could read of the census is the kids' and that shows that Sarah was born in Missouri and their father was born in Illinois.When I found the marriage info today, it seemed to make sense.
Does anyone have information on Sarah Becker born about 1866 in MO who married ______ LILLY?I would greatly appreciate any help.Thanks in advance.
