Morgan Lillard

Morgan Lillard represents the point at which thing start getting pretty murky for my strand of the Lillard line.  We know that John D. Lillard's father was named Morgan; But it seems that there were at least two Morgan Lillards in the early 19th century and it's not quite clear who was who.  There was a Morgan Lillard who served as a 2nd Corporal with the Rockingham (NC) regiment during the War of 1812.  It is also possible that this was the same Morgan Lillard who served as a Rockingham County constable from 1812-1814.

It is a further possibility that the Morgan Lillard in question was the son of Moses Lillard--traditionally regarded as the beginning patriarch of the family in America.
