"Lilly and John moved to Iredell Co, NC sometime before the Revolutionary War, along with several of his brothers who served time during the War. John and Lilly's home was a large plantation about a half mile north of the south Yadkin River on the Island Ford/Shallow Road in what eventually became Sharpesburg Twp., near the present Route 115.
Soon after their arrival in NC, John and Lilly became members of the old Fourth Creek Presbyterian Church, in an area which would become Statesville. When Bethany Presbyterian was organized in the mid 1770s, the Sharpe brothers joined but it was still quite distant from home. They finally became associated with Snow Creek Methodist Church, which was built near their homes. From this time on, most of their descendants became members of the Methodist Church.
Lilly was buried in the Snow Creek Methodist Church Cemetery in Iredell Co, North Carolina."
