Notes
a. Note:   Nancy and Millie Solesbury's Story
 Daughters of Thomas and Lucy Maxey Solesbury
 Granddaughters of Jeremiah and Mary Clay Solesbury
  The following article was taken from the Families of Wyoming County,
 WV newsletter. It appeared in Volume 10, Issue #2 -- no date is listed on the
 publication, however it is believed that Volume 10 was for the year 1996. There
 are inconsistencies in the spelling of some names.
  Pleasants Lilly was born about 1807 in Giles County, Virginia and died in
 Raleigh County, West Virginia. He is buried along near the Odd Road. Pleasants
 is the son of Thomas & Rosanna Meador Lilly. Thomas Lilly was the son of
 Robert and Frances Moody Lilly. Rosanna Meador was the daughter of Josiah
 and Laving Meador.
  Pleasants was married about 1823 probably in Giles County (no record
 found) to Delilah Pittman. Delilah, daughter of Rueben Pittman was born
 December 23, 1801 and died July 18 1877 - 75y 6 m 12d.
  It seems there was a problem between Delilah and Pleasants. Their
 youngest son, William was born December 16, 1832 in Giles County. Whatever
 the problem, Pleasants looked elsewhere and found companionship.
  Pleasants moved two sisters Millie and Nancy Solesbury onto his farm and
 started to
 raise two additional families. Millie and Nancy appear to be the daughters of
 Thomas Solesbury and his wife Lucy Maxey. The first of his new family
 arrived about 1836 from Nancy and the last also from Nancy arrived July 16,
 1857. Between these dates Millie presented Pleasants with 11 children and
 Nancy another 10. It has been reported that Pleasants' Will named all of his
 children that were still living when he died.
  Prior to 1850 Delilah moved from the farm and is listed with her 16 year old
 son, Christopher, on the 1850 Raleigh County, Virginia Census. Legend has it
 that the two sisters told Delilah that they were going to kill her. Who knows?
 This may be the reason Deliliah left. Anyway, Delilah would not give Pleasants a divorce. When she died he married Millie (no record found). After Millie died he married Millie's sister, Nancy.
