Welcome to The Lilley/Matthews Mailout for June 2002, a newsletter for occasional updates regarding the Kevin Matthews Online History Site and information regarding all things 'Lilley' and 'Matthews.' This is actually the first issue of the mailout and hopefully the first of many more. I'm looking for input from others in the family, so if you would like to add something please let me know and I will consider it for inclusion.
This issue will probably be small, but hopefully the mailouts will grow in size over time. There will be no set time for issues being sent forth. When I have enough to make up an issue I'll send one out. Please read this issue and hopefully enjoy it. If you don't want to keep getting it, please follow the instructions at the end of the newsletter.

Website Update
Not much has been happening on the site for a couple of months but that is all set to change. I hope to further update the family tree in the next couple of weeks (more on that below).
I have added a new page to the site - 'The Lilley/Matthews Photo Album.' When you visit you will see that not all the photos are yet up on the site (Image Station Site), but hopefully they soon will be. I have quite a few pictures scanned and ready to go. It just takes a little time to post them all.
If you have further pictures that I can put up relating to the aims of this site, then please send them to me (they will be returned to you when I'm done with them).
Please remember that this site is all about our family history, so anything of relevance to that can be added to the site here. I'm very liberal when it comes to an interpretation of that theme, so please let me know about anything that may have even the slightest relevance.
Genealogy Inquiry
In the last couple of days I received an email from Chrys Lilly asking whether we were related to the William Lilly who was married to Abigail Matthews. If you are able to shed any light on this please let me know at nrbcpastorkev@yahoo.com.au and contact Chrys Lilly at chryslilly1@yahoo.com. The email is posted in full below.
Hi Kevin,
I also have been working on a Wm Lilly who was married to an Abigail Matthews. He was our grandfather. He was married to a Sarah {Sally] at one time but we don't know her last name but they had 3 sons who were Peter, Joseph and Wm. He had 5 sons by Abigail Matthews and 2 daughters. This Wm we think was born around 1741 so unless the one you are looking may be his dad or gfather. If you are from Abigails family please write to us. Thanks, Chrys lilly
Mail Groups and Communities
Please consider joining The Lilley Family Mail Group or The Matthews Family Mail Group also, for the purpose of receiving Emails from different family members all at the same time and being able to therefore share in a continuing online discussion with one another.
