Subject: Littleberry Surname

Fellow LDR researchers:

Over on Va-Southside list we discuss Greenberry and Littleberry frequently. I
am pasting in the Virginia side of things from a list post below. I can only
imagine that whoever landed in MD was probably related to these folk as well.
If I can make a crucial connnection to a Baugh/Worsham marriage that a now
deceased aunt says is my ggg grandfather, then I too have an Elizabeth
Littleberry who married a Frances Eppes (I think if memory serves me right).
But alas, I can't find her proof and have significant doubts.....unless
(appropos of our earlier discussion), my gg grandfather was born on the wrong
side of the blanket, as I have argued repeatedly to a cousin.

LITTLEBERRY
This surname was in the early colonial period of Virginia having emigrated
from
England in 1623 to both Henrico County and Charles City County. I had a
friend
many years ago who was named for his ancestor, John Littleberry, one of
Virginia's
early settlers. In my friend's case, Littleberry was his first name but he
went
by his second (or middle name), Milton. I have not researched files in
England
for 'Littleberry' but for those who are interested, it might be very
rewarding.
