Description

Large grouping of Lilly & Williams family items from Mathews county Virginia. Recently discovered in the basement of an old home in Mathews. Items include a leather bound Civil war era hymnal that belonged to (Bettie) Elisabeth Henry Lilly. It is in very poor condition. 1859 diary and 2 books belonging to Thomas Williams. All are in poor condition. A wood box with name Eilliam L Smith written in pencil. Also included is a large binder with papers dating to the last half of the 19th century. Also includes 2 tintype photos discovered in Bettie Henry Lilly’s hymnal. I am happy to answer any questions.
