Notes:

I picked this record up during my visits to libraries in the South Western VA area. It is very likely on file at the public library in Lebanon, Russell Co., where there is a thick LITTON family folder. I have a photocopy of the first section, MY FAMILY, and a typewritten transcript of the whole record.

This is the line of Canie B. LITTON Jr., of Jacksonville, FL, and he probably has the original manuscript in his collection.

John R. LITTON is John Richard LITTON, son of Caleb LITTON born 1678, either in Ottery St. Mary (Devon) Eng., or in Maryland, depending on the researcher's inclination. Caleb's wife was Grace FORRESTER or BURTON b 1698 Baltimore, MD d 1792 Rockville, MD.

Sarah or Sallie WILCOXEN was the daughter of Thomas WILCOXEN, Sr. b 9 Mar 1695 d ca 1777 (Prince Georges Co.) MD who m. Ruth _____b 3 Sep 1703. Thomas was s/o John WILCOXEN d 22 Sep 1716 (Prince Georges) MD and Magdalen ______.

Capt. Solomon C. LITTON, s/o John R. and Sarah WILCOXEN LITTON, was Solomon Caleb LITTON, Sr. d 22 Oct. 1842/2 May 1843 (Russell) VA. There were many Solomon LITTON'S of Russell and other counties, and it is necessary to keep track of them by date!

Martha SHARPE DUNCAN, sometimes listed as Martha DUNCAN SHARP d 31 Mar 1821 was probably widowed when she married Solomon LITTON. She was d/o Thomas DUNKIN b 3 Jan 1692, Argyle Scotland d 1756/60 (Lancaster) PA/Perm, VA. who m 1733 Elizabeth ALEXANDER b 1709/10 Scotland d 1814 Elk Garden/Spring Creek (Russell) VA. (LDS Ancestry File has Thomas DUNKIN's family back to 1501.)

John W. LITTON Sr., s/o Capt. Solomon and Martha LITTON, was John Whitely LITTON d 1853 who built "Litton Hill", a large brick house near Elk Garden. He donated the land for the Elk Garden Methodist Church, and there is a LITTON cemetery behind the modern house at Box 445 Rt. 1, within sight of the current church building.

James Fullen LITTON was s/o John W. LITTON and Sarah Pearl FULLEN.

The above family members who lived until 1850 are fairly easy to sort out by comparing this record to the censuses.
