James Little
The following, regarding James Little and his family, was extracted from the book, History of Washington County, Pennsylvania with Biographical Sketches of Many of Its Pioneers and Prominent Men (Boyd Crumrine, editor):

     James Little came from the north of Ireland, and took out a warrant in 1785 for a tract of land on a part of which his son Joseph and a grandson now reside.  He had three sons and one daughter, ---John, Nicholas, Joseph, and Isabella.  John lived and died on the homestead.  Nicholas was a bachelor.  Isabella was unmarried.  Joseph settled on the homestead, where he still lives.  He is now seventy-five years of age, and can remember hearing his father relate that when he first came to the county they were in the habit of working on the farm in the daylight, and at night going to the block-house at McDonald's.  James Little married a Miss Robb.
