General Notes: Husband - William Littell


He was a farmer by occupation, and lived many years on the old family homestead farm. He sold this, however, and bought 155 acres near Beaver, Pennsylvania. His farm products were disposed of in Beaver and vicinity. He served in the War of 1812, and was ordered to duty on Lake Erie. While crossing the Ohio Swamps, he contracted the measles which nearly proved fatal. In politics, he was first a Whig and later a Republican, but had no aspirations to public office.

He and his family were disciples of the religious teachings of Rev. John Anderson, a minister of the Seceders Church, who founded a theological seminary, in all probability the first west of the Allegheny mountains, from which grew an institution located at Xenia, Ohio.


General Notes: Wife - Cynthia Smith


Another source states she was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania.
