Leo,
Do you have a map of the area where our Little's lived before coming to
America? I am referring to our first Little immigrant to your and my family
of Little's, Abraham Little who came from an island off of England? Was it
anywhere close to this area that you are talking about in this e-mail in
Scotland, the borders area? I would love to see a map of the area where
Abraham Little lived before coming to America.
Thanks,
Your cousin,
Jane Little McEndree

Hi Robyn,

I don't see a listing in the 1841 Scottish or 1841 English census for a
Robert Little, born about 1831, who was the son of William Little with wife
Helen.

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp does not show a
Robert Little, son of William Little and Helen in Scotland. Nor does it
show a William Little married to Helen Graham. The familysearch records are
based on Scottish parish records, though not everyone registered their
births and marriages.

However, the surnames LITTLE and GRAHAM were quite numerous in the West
Marches of the Borders region of Scotland in the 1600s and 1700s. See
http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/borders.jpg for an appropriate
map.

See also http://www.geocities.com/littlednaproject/Borders.htm for an
article, "Tracing the Borders Littles through DNA Testing". The chances are
quite good that your Littles originated in the Borders region, eventhough
there is no specific record of them.

Best Regards, Leo

Hello,

I am looking for any information about William LITTLE and Helen GRAHAM.
I am presuming they are from Scotland and I have details about 1 son,
Robert LITTLE who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland,
17 October 1831.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
