From The History of The Little Family

According to THE HISTORY OF THE LITTLE FAMILY, James A. Little, 1905, and other sources, Thomas Little was born in 1740 in Scotland. We believe it to be Dumfries, Scotland. He came to Northern Ireland probably around 1750-54 (my guess). About 1770 Thomas, his wife Mary Campbell and 4 of his 5 children came to America (landing in Savannah, GA according to ship records). His daughter, Mary came a year later. They settled in Rockbridge Co.,VA. Three more children were born in VA. Later they moved on over the mountains to Mercer Co., KY. Still later Thomas, wife Mary, son Alexander, daughter Nancy (mine) and her husband John moved on to Franklin Co., KY. Alexander moved with his family to Washington Co.,IN around 1810. Nancy moved with her family (husband John died in Franklin Co., KY) to IN. I believe she first went to Washington Co., IN around 1814, then with some of her children and spouses staying in Washington Co, and some going with her, she moved to Vigo Co., IN.
