Captain George Little was also in the
American Revolugtion, wounded and captured at the fall of Charleston, had much land but his injuries allowed him exemption from paying property taxes. This benefit must have been what Peter Bozeman was working on in Alabama when he died.

George and his wife Mary had come from Scotland apparently with several of his brothers, who he had named his own sons after. He had ten children and his wife died young. About 1800 he married his son's mother in law, Mary Handley Douglass, a widow with three daughters, and one would become a great great granny to my dad's grandmother. Pictures of George's tombstone are on the internet, apparently near "Littles Crossroads". Mary's brother John Handley had served in the War and became an explorer in Kentucky like Daniel Boone and had much land there, inviting his sisters and their families to join him in this new adventure. George's children were mostly all grown and married and joined in. They left S.C. and traveled through a beautiful Tennessee before settling in Kentucky. The names of the counties were just happening so it would seem they were everywhere! Stories of their lives are in many of the County history books and other books that his grandson, L. P. Little, had written. They all lived close together according to the census records and all the many other names they had intermarried with: Wright, Waltrip, Weatherford, Hunt,Roberts, Duval, Simmons, Stone, Crigler, Carpenter, Coonfield. Most of their grandsons served in the Civil War and later migrated west. My dad's sister said when Grandpa John Wright Little settled on Sandy Mountain Arkansas, he had refused an indian land allotment in Oklahoma. His military papers described him as a very dark complected dark haired man and he did get a small pension for his service. John's great grandfather was a Charles Weatherford of Charlotte Virginia history, along with many other Weatherfords who served in the War and migrated south, many into Georgia and Alabama. The father of Chief Red Eagle was a Charles Weatherford who married Sehoy and he had come from Virginia, so who's to say he did not have another family in his past. Eagle's real name was William Weatherford and his sister named Catherine. John Little's granny was a Catherine, married in VA in 1811 and records there indicate her father was a Charles, but he is not the one to make her marriage bond, so where was he.

So this could be my father's ancestry, but in Alabama, they were near my mother's family, and all along the Alabama River, Line Creek, and I remember her showing us the indian mounds, and that we should respect them and honor them.
