Mr. Jeff Waggoner of Hog Eye was a visitor Sunday, on the farm, guest of his
brother J. P. Waggoner. 9/5/1937 John Litton moved to State Cemetery. He was buried in the family burial plot at Hog Eye 80 years ago. Married Sarah E Standifer around 1835 and established a homestead. 1845 helped establish Young’s Settlement aka Perryville. Litton eventually settled his family on a tract of land at the headwaters of Little Sandy Creek northeast of Young's Settlement, in the first house in the area built entirely of sawed lumber. The pair initially settled at the land grant that Sarah's mother, Elizabeth Standifer. Need to look at
where their neighbors are buried before 1850. Did he establish his cemetery
on the Standifer tract or the R Young tract? This would determine Hog Eye
Cemetery. William Bailey Standifer 10 Feb 1815 – 8 Jul 1876 |
