born about 1705 in Surry Co. VA. He is listed in his father's will as the oldest son. Thigpen Tribe lists his birth in 1685, but that is not possible. He owned in 1738 in Surry Co. VA.1069 He owned on 18 Feb 1755 in Surry Co. VA. William sold 100 acres to Buford Pleasant " it being part of a tract of land granted by pattent to Phillip Hunniford bearing date the 17 Day of May 1666 which was left to the said John Little by his Father in his last will and testament it is part of the tract of land which William Little the father of the sd John Little purchased of Edward Napkin junr" on 5 Jan 1709. He was living on 23 Jun 1755 in Surry Co. VA.1070,1071 10 Jan 1755 William Little and wife Mourning of Surry Co. to Thomas Davis of Elizabeth City Count 300 acres (being the land William Hart sold him on 16 Mar 1738) bounded by the Mill Swamp, the Meadow Branch, Mile Branch, Benjamin Bell, and the Hog Pen Branch. Witnesses were Thomas Wilson, Benjamin Little, Jacob Little, Joseph Holleman. On 23 Jun 1755 Mourning Little, wife of William Little, relinquished her Right of Dower in the 300 acres sold to Thomas Davis of Elizabeth City County In the 1755 tax list for Beaufort; Wm. Little, Abraham Little, James Little, John Little, and Thomas Little were listed. William and Abraham were listed together with only 2 polls (themselves). Amos Atkinson was also listed.

In 1762; Isaac, James, John, Joseph, and Robert Little were listed. [NEED TO DEFINE SENTENCE: moved]658 September 1755, William Little of Surry Co. VA received 300a on Cheeks Mill Swamp to pay a 40 pound obligation from James Cheek in Halifax precinct NC. Deed was witnessed by Amos Atkinson and Abraham Little. He died in Mar 1756 in Beaufort Co. NC.1072 Beaufort Co. NC March Court, 1756. Son Abraham 100 acres where he now dwells, Thos Sharp, Cheek's Mill Creek, James Hearn; 12lb to survey the land I bought from James Cheek & then to make a title to his 2 brothers. Son William & James - the remainder of sd tract of land which I bought from James Cheek. Son Jacob - 100 acres where I now dwell joining the Dividing Branch. Son John - 100 acres on north side of sd Dividing Branch except my daughter Jane Moring to have the use of where she now dwells during her lifetime. Son Isaac - pot. Son Joseph 10L VA. Wife Morning - rest of my estate during her lifetime & then to my 5 youngest sons Jacob, William, James, Joseph & John. Wife: Morning. Executors sons Isaac and Jacob Little. Witnesses Amos Atkinson, Mary Judkins, Jane Atkinson

It is likely that Morning is not the mother of Abraham, Isaac, and Jane. William's will gives Abraham the land where he now lives, Isaac only a pot, and Jane the right to live where she is now living. He makes other specific requests to Jacob and John. He then gives the balance to Morning as long as she lives and then to be divided between his youngest 5 sons. I believe this indicates these are Morning's children and the other three are not.

Descendants of William and Mourning Little are participating in the Little DNA test group and have found a match that leads us to believe we are from Wiltshire Co., England.

My cousin Harry Lewis Little, son of my mother's twin (William, Isaac, Jacob, Jacob, David L., John B., William A., Burl); Brad Little (William, Isaac, Jacob, Hosea, Jesse...); Andrew James (William, Jacob, Nam, Etheldred, Thomas...) J. Randal is a descendant of James (Jimmy) Little who migrated from NC to Henderson Co. TN in 1854, along with others who were from Anson Co. - same as our Jacob. Family stories in our Henderson Co. descendants of David Liles Little say that Jimmy was David's uncle. However, we can find no evidence that Jimmy was Jacob's brother and I thought I knew all the brothers.

We have an almost perfect match with Barry Little who lives in England and descends from Joseph Little who lived in Trowbridge, Wiltshire Co. England in 1790. According to Leo Little who runs the Little DNA site "In any case, the 35/37 marker match between Barry's DNA and Harry's DNA leaves little doubt that there is a close connection. Especially since your haplogroup is I1a, which only accounts for about 15% of British males (and is the signature mainly of early Viking settlement)."

A common ancestor of Barry and Harry (35/37) was most likely born in 1600-1700, though he could also have lived as early as 1400. Check http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/MRCA.htm> for details on DNA matches.

The DNA results can be found at the Little DNA site http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/Results.htm

Little, William III Scott Jacob Name: William Scott? Little, 1685 - 1 Mar 1756, <- 9 , [26] Birth: 1685 at Surrey County; VA; USA Christening: ? at ? Marriage: Morning Mourning Kimborough Kimbrough, BET 1689 AND 1705 - ? [27] Death: 1 Mar 1756 at Beaufort County; NC; USA WILLIAM1 LITTLE, JR. was born 1682 in Surry County, Virginia, and

died

Mar 1756 in Beaufort Co, NC. He married MOURNING KIMBROUGH in Surry

County,

VA. She was born 1705 in Surry County, Virginia.

Children of WILLIAM LITTLE and MOURNING KIMBROUGH are:
2. i. ABRAHAM2 LITTLE, b. Abt. 1715, Surry County,
Virginia; d. 15 Mar 1785, Edgecombe County, NC.
ii. WILLIAM LITTLE.
iii. JANE LITTLE.
iv. ISAAC LITTLE.
v. JACOB LITTLE.
vi. JAMES LITTLE.
vii. JOHN LITTLE.
viii. JOSEPH LITTLE.

The messages of two of the Listers were left at the bottom. It seems like quite a coincidence that the Silver Book lists a William born in North Carolina 27 Sept. 1728 and married to (Unknown) KIMBROUGH,and the person who posted at the bottom lists a William Little born in 1682 and married a "MOURNING KIMBROUGH." I am a direct descendant of Richard WARREN through Anna WARREN, who married Thomas LITTLE. I also have another LITTLE family, the family of my great-grandmother, Catherine Margaret (LITTLE) (Mrs. Ensign Beals GRIFFES). Ensign is the bloodline back to Anna (WARREN) LITTLE. My Richard Warren Line: 1. Richard WARREN, m. Elizabeth WALKER - The proof that WARREN's wife was that particular Elizabeth WALKER is on the Caleb JOHNSON Mayflower Website, and it was just proven December 2002, after finding the will of Elizabeth's father, Augustine WALKER. I realize that there are a lot of William LITTLES who descended from Thomas LITTLE and Anna WARREN through the male lines. Here is a "William LITLE, Jr." who married (Unknown first name) KIMBROUGH. This is quite a coincidence! This is typed straight from the "Silver Book," entitled "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations," Volume Eighteen, Part 2, 5th generation of Mary, Anna, and Elizabeth, only, RICHARD WARREN. Published by General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1999. Page 151: 486 WILLIAM LITTLE^5 (William^4, Isaac^3, Anna^2 Warren, Richard^1) b. North Carolina 27 Sept. 1728; d. bef. 12 March 1767.

In the 1755 tax list for Beaufort; Wm. Little, Abraham Little, James Little, John Little, and Thomas Little were listed. William and Abraham were listed together with only 2 polls (themselves). Amos Atkinson was also listed.

Is it out of place here?]

He was married to Morning KIMBOROUGH . It is likely that Morning is not the mother of Abraham, Isaac, and Jane. William's will gives Abraham the land where he now lives, Isaac only a pot, and Jane the right to live where she is now living. He makes other specific requests to Jacob and John. He then gives the balance to Morning as long as she lives and then to be divided between his youngest 5 sons. I believe this indicates these are Morning's children and the other three are not.

Children were: Abraham LITTLE, Isaac LITTLE Sr., Jane LITTLE, Jacob LITTLE, William LITTLE, James LITTLE, Joseph LITTLE, John LITTLE.

Note from Michael C. Little, 2004: William II was involved as a North Carolina commissioner helping settle the Virginia/North Carolina border in 1728, resulting in North Carolina becoming a royal colony.
