Personal Information

NOTES: William Joseph Little served in the War of 1812 from Jackson Co.,. 

William Joseph Little also served in the Creek Indian War from Wilkes Co. Georgia. This was an Indian uprising in the South between (1813-1814). The Creeks who lived mainly in Alabama and Georgia were alarmed by encroachments on their lands and were convinced by Tecumseh, a Shawnee chief, to unite with many other tribes against the settlers. The leader of the Creeks was William Weatherford, also known as Red Eagle. The Creek Indians had fought along with the British in the War Of 1812. 

William Joseph Little applied for Veteran’s Pension in 1855 he stated that he was 84 years old and stated the places where he volunteered for service. This gives us a verification of the date of his birth in 1771. He did not use his first name while in the service.

Carroll Co., was formed 1n 1826 from land ceded by the Creek Indians. Originally Carroll Co., included the former Creek Indian Land lying north and west of the Chattahoochee River and was bounded on the North by Cherokee Land and stretched south to West Point. It was about 40 miles wide and 100 miles long. Population in 1850 was 8,256 with 1,101 slaves. The Co., takes its name from Charles Carroll, one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence. The Co., Seat is Carrollton. Haralson Co., was formed in 1856 from Carroll and Polk Counties.

Joseph Little was one of three men of the Eighth District who were recommended to superintend one of the elections in the Cherokee Territory following the removal of the Cherokees.  Indian Agent Christopher Brown recommended him to Governor Gilmer 15 May 1831.  Joseph was one of Carroll now (Haralson) Counties earliest citizens.  He was there in 1827 some twenty-eight years or more before Haralson Co. was organized.

Joseph Little was a Justice of the Inferior Court in Carroll Co. in 1830, 1833, 1834, and 1836.  In 1837 he signs as J.J.C. and as J.P.    In 1838, 1839 he signs as J.P.  All in Carroll Co.

Muster roll of Georgia Militia commanded by Capt. Joseph Whorton lists a Joseph Little with sub-note of “do Fort Harrison” this group was in existence from January 5 to March 5, 1814. Another document shows Joseph Little as a spie.

Oral Family History

James Little of Wilkes, and then Jackson County  Georgia is thought to be an uncle to William Joseph Little. Not to be confused with a James Little of Wilkes County Georgia who died in the revolutionary war. This was told by a grand daughter of Thomas Jefferson Little Sr.

It is also said that William Joseph Little while in Carroll and Harralson Counties was called Squire Billy Little. Seen by Calvin D. Little in a letter.

Where did the Little's come from?

Alternative Spellings: Litel, Litil, Litill, Litle, Littell, Littil, Littill, Little, Littyll, Lityl, Lytil, Lytle, Lyttle, Lyttille

 

In a conversation I had with Mina Felicia Little of Tallapoosa Georgia. She told me a story of three brothers that came from Scotland. To the best of her recollection she could only name 2, Charles, and James, but does not recall the third name. In a latter conversation she said Charles and William. I am hopeful that William was the third name. Thus we are looking for Charles, James, and William Little who came to America together on the same ship. Mina lives on one of the sons of William Joseph Little land. Francis Marion Little if I remember correctly. She has long been interested in family and it's history.

 

Family Stories Point to Scotland

_{With this in mind bear witness to what I am about to tell you.}

In 1000 BC, the Celtic people first came to Scotland. These people were skilled in working iron. They changed contemporary Armor and weaponry. They were the first to use the long sword and small shield in Europe.

Julius Caesar and the Romans arrived in Britain in 55BC and remained there for over 225 years. In AD 79 the Romans advanced into Scotland in a series of campaigns, establishing forts along the way. The Scotsmen were then called Caledonians then. By AD 83 they had marched up the east coast as far as present day Aberdeenshire.

The Britons or the Britons of Strathclyde came. They would dominate the west of lower Scotland and some of England.

The Angles, from Germany settled southeast Scotland and portions of England. The Angles were the only non-Celtic race of the four main early settlers of Scotland. And this would prove to be a major problem for the Celts later on.

Lastly, the Fourth Tribe came to settle Scotland. They were also a warlike people, descended from Ireland. The origins of their name Scots is believed to be a corrupted form of Scottus or Scotti , which meant; “raiders”. A Celtic, warrior, combative and expansive race, the Scots came in about 500 A.D. Dalriada (Dal Riata) was the Kingdom of the Scots.

In 793 AD the Vikings, or plunderers from Norway, were seeking the treasures of the churches, which were easily plundered.

In 800 AD The Vikings came again to Scotland to raid and settle. The Scots seemed to have something in common with the Viking and after a while intermarriages, to common and noble, with established clans took place in north Scotland and extensively throughout it's Western Isles.

All of these people intermarried so you most probably descend from them all.

In 1066 AD, five generations after Normandy's Conquest of England Richard Lytle was born. He was in line of descent from William the Conqueror, King of England and the Duke of Normandy, whose ancestry can be traced back to Ingiald who ruled in Central Sweden 1,300 years ago. 

Nine hundred years after Ingiald the Littles, as well as other unruly Scottish clans in Eskdale and Liddesdale, were to suffer executions, persecutions and banishments by the Royal command. The Eskdale and Liddesdale chiefs, with the exception of Armstrong of Mangerton, were lucky to hold on to their lives and lose only their lands. So it was that the grand titles and like Royal favors destined for Scotland went to their persecutors and not to them.

In the Anglo-Scottish Border Wars of 1296-1603 the Littles were one of the fighting clans of the West March. By the close of the 16th Century they had earned a reputation as the finest light cavalry in Europe. 

For over three centuries the Border Littles shared with the Armstrongs and Beatties the steep-sided dales to the north and west of the present town of Langholm.

In 1296-97 Edward Little "of Meikledale", founder of the clan and descendant of Anglo-Norman Richard Lytle, was a supporter of Sir William Wallace, the patriot, who upheld the independent rights of Scotland against the oppression of Edward I of England.

In 1351 Martin Litill was a witness at Hermitage Castle of a charter of William Douglas, Lord of Liddesdale.

Nichol Litil served the Earl of Douglas on the West Marches in 1368.

In 1398 Nicol Little was one of a group of knights and "squires" entrusted to supervise the repatriation of English prisoners across the border.

In 1426 Simon Litill became the lst Laird of Meikledale being granted tenure of the lands in Ewesdale by James I, King of Scots. Littles of less warlike disposition found their vocation as monks in Abbeys and Convents.

The Littles of Liberton in Edinburgh are a branch of the Border clan dating from around 1500. Clement Litil, 2nd of Liberton was founder of the University of Edinburgh Library. His brother William Litil, 3rd of Liberton, was twice Provost of Edinburgh in the post-Reformation period. 

The Little Clan of the Scottish West March supported the Stuart Kings of Scots through five reigns until 1530 when James V, under pressure from the English Court, tricked thirty-two Armstrongs, Elliots, Littles, Irvings into a parley and hanged them out of hand. The Eskdale clans from then on forsook patriotism for survival and sided with the most likely winners of international warfare.

In one chronicle in the spring of 1530 the Littles along with the Armstrongs, Elliots and Irvines, raided the King's forces but lost thirty-two men. Their Clans were at Meikledale and Langholme in Dumfriesshire and Liberton in Edenburgh.

The 1587 Act of the Scottish Parliament Roll of the Clans that have Captains, Chiefs and Chieftains "on whom clansmen depend against the will of their landlords in the Borders and the Highlands" names "Litillis" among the names listed under West March. Thus in 1587 the Littles were clearly regarded as a Clan.

In 1603 King James I of Great Britain (a.k.a. King James VI) of Scotland was determined to put down the continuing lawlessness on both sides of the Border. His wishes were carried through with sword, noose and torch until hardly a building stood in the whole of Eskdale and Liddlesdale. Chiefs were hanged and those who survived were forced to quit their lands. As a result the Crowns of England and Scotland were united on one head.

In 1672 David was the last Laird of Meikledale and last Chief of Clan Little to register arms. His full coat of arms consists of the shield and the crest: 

In the "Great Civil War', the clans under the great Montrose fought in the first real Jacobite war of 1688-89, Montrose's descendant John Graham, 'Bonnie Dundee', led Jacobite Highland clansmen in victory over the army of Dutch William at Killecrankie (1689). Dundee added to the Jacobite cause and legend by dying in the moment of his greatest victory. 

The Highlanders never forgot the appalling murders of the Glencoe Massacre in 1692: the treacherous, government ordered outright slaughter by forces led by the Campbell's on their fellow clansmen and hosts the MacDonalds.

The last witch to be put to death in Galloway was in 1698.

Simon Little of Meikledale was chief of the Little clan at the end of the Border Wars. His son, Thomas Little was succeeded by David Little, last Laird of Meikledale and last of the chiefs. The direct male line in descent from David terminates with 18th Century Simon Little of Nittyholm who had seven daughters and no sons. His brother, Matthew (?William) Little went to Reading in England, married and went to sea in 1745.

The clan began to scatter in the early 17th Century fleeing from persecution, poverty and overcrowding of the Ulster Plantations. Many moved to English Cumberland, crossed the oceans to North America, Australia and New Zealand. Later many Littles, Lytles, and Lyttles in Ulster re-emigrated as Scots-Irish back to Great Britain or headed overseas.

Before attempting to describe the 'ethnic cleansing' of the Highlands of Scotland, you must be aware of what happened prior to the atrocities of the Clearances. Especially true in understanding the two nations of Scots and they relate to the clan systems; the Jacobite wars and most especially the final event that led directly to the Clearances. That event is the total destruction of the great and proud Highland army, and the last Highland army under the command of Prince Charles Edward Stuart or "Bonnie Prince Charlie" at Culloden in 1746.

The final defeat dealt to the unfortunate Highlanders was by Cumberland. He earned his name "the Butcher" for his post-battlefield atrocities.

Cumberland ordered his Red Coats to murder every surviving clansman on the field, even burying some of the wounded Highlanders alive in huge pits.

Highland dress, music and the language were banned, and the clan leaders were executed or exiled. Vast numbers of Highlanders; men, women and children, were killed for disloyalty or even mere suspicion, and because they were simply Highlanders. As for they're odd language and alien customs.

The clans were left without chieftains to direct them and were easy prey to missionaries determined to teach them. These missionaries would bind them to the Government forever. From the Lowlands the Society for the Propagation of Christian Knowledge went to the Highlands in 1791 seeking Godlessness in the Highlands, but found something more alarming. They sent a message back stating: they were certain that since 1772 no less than 16 ships full of emigrants had left from the counties of Inverness and Ross, containing, 6,400 people and who carried with them at least 38,000 pound Sterling. From then on, few Highlanders left Scotland with their money, possessions, or their dignities intact. If they were to emigrate, they would be forced to do so as penniless indentured servants, slaves or beggars
