The chapter takes its name from John Lillard, the son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Lightfoot Lillard. John was born on November 3, 1737, in Culpeper County, Virginia. During the American Revolution he formed, under the direction of George Washington, his own Company known as the "Culpeper Minutemen," and he became its Captain. His wife, Susannah Ball Lillard, was the niece of Mary Ball Washington. She died at the birth of their thirteenth child, David, on November 18, 1782, while in route to the Kentucky District of Virginia. Captain John Lillard died on August 5, 1801, in Mercer County, Kentucky. He is buried on a farm near Harrodsburg.
John was married twice, first to Susannah (surname frequently given as Ball, though no authoritative source has been found to substantiate this) and second to Anne Moore (widow of Robert Thomas and daughter of Francis Moore, both of Orange, Virginia) about 1791 (sources still needed to confirm).

Susanna (Ball) Lillard, wife of Captain John, died either in child- birth or shortly afterward, when their youngest child David Lillard was born on November 18, 1782. Whether this was enroute to Kentucky from Virginia or whether it was shortly after their arrival at Harrodsburg is not known. However Captain John Lillard married a second time to Mrs. Anne (Moore) Thomas, widow of Capt. Robert Thomas, who had eleven children. Anne Moore Thomas was the daughter of Colonel Francis Moore, of Orange County, Virginia, who was a Colonial officer commis- sioned under King George of England. Anne Moore Thomas Lillard was a sister of Sarah Moore Spencer, wife of Joseph Spencer, also a Colonel of Orange County, Virginia. Capt. Robert Thomas and Anne Moore were married in Orange County, Va., on April 9, 1757. Another of her sisters, Mary Moore married William Price. Her brothers were Reuben, Francis and Bernard Moore .
