General Notes: Husband - Dr. Peter Washington Little

---

His birth was after his father's death. In the application for the appointment of a guardian for the children of Casper Little, in York County, Pennsylvania, his age is given as four years. This may have been a guess of the lawyer or of his eldest brother, John Little. His early years were spent at Hagerstown, Maryland, where he was educated, and he studied medicine under the celebrated Dr. Benjamin Rush, the eminent physician of Philadelphia and signer of the Declaration of Independence. After his marriage, he settled at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, where he practiced his profession for many years. He was postmaster at Mercersburg, 1822-27, and a trustee of Marshall College, and secretary of the board, 1836-38.
