Fthr of Foster Tilley of Stokes/Jackson?

Hi,
I'm descended from Foster Tilley through William Tilley and Robert Rufus Tilley. I have been looking for Foster's parents for years.

I have a marriage bond dated Oct. 30, 1815 in Stokes Co., N.C., for Foster Tilley and Nancy Varnum (who then moved to Jackson Co. Ohio.) The witness on the marriage bond is John Tilley. I have speculated that John Tilley is his father, but don't know for sure.

Now I just read on GenForum that those original Tilleys from Virginia (Lazarus, etc.) ended up in Shelby County, Ky. I wonder if that John left a will in Shelby County? Maybe he names Foster as a son?

I will gladly trade my info on Foster Tilley and Nancy Vernon/Varnum Tilley. I've had far better luck tracing the Vernons.

Thanks,
Karla
