Capt John Jillard b 1779 in Yarmouth, England marries serveral times in Baltimore, Maryland.
Has a daughter, Elizabeth Jillard, who married John Muckelroy, a prominent butcher in Baltimore. They have a son named John Jillard Muckelroy also a butcher who marries Georgeanna Griffin.
They have a daughter named Emily Jane Muckelroy my greatgrandmother for whom I am named. She married a George L. Seward and they have a daughter, Georgeanna Roberta , who married John E. Thursby Jr who is a Chesapeake Bay Captain (pilot). When you go back through his family, you find generations of mariners or daughters of mariners. This made my father a 6th generation Chesapeake pilot when you look at both sides. Mariners in Maryland and especially Baltimore were a very close knit group. The Maryland Pilot Association were mainly cousins (1st, second, third) until the current group.
I am looking for Jillard connections and have information on Capt. John's descendents.
Are there any Jillard's who trace themselves back to Yarmouth if my information is correct?
