The Little Family
THE Little family is linked into our ancestry lines from such as
Denzil Pyne, Samuel Snell, Nicholas Morshead and then Nicholas Moon until it
links itselt back in again with Abegail Little's marriage to Cornelius Moon,
brother of my 3rd great grandmother Susanna Moon who married Philip Trout my
3rd great grandfather. As it is also covered upon the Moon
Family page and the Snell Family page, this
page will concern itself with the family lines passage through the two Little
Families of Thomas Little and his son Joseph Little.
Family of Thomas Little (1754-1835) and Elizabeth Snell (1753-1825)
Thomas Little is the son of a Joseph and Ann Little of St Keyne.
Elizabeth Snell is the daughter of Samuel Snell Jnr. and his wife Elizabeth Geach.

Note: The proof of the two Mary Little sisters is in the monument inscription
both pictured and published below. At age 25 the second Mary Little died on
2 August 1819. Twenty five years from 1819 yields a birth date of 1794, that
being also the baptism year of the second Mary Little. The first Mary Little
does not so qualify. The Parents name of Thomas and Elizabeth Little and her
brother Denzil also being on the stone further cements the conclusions.
* These dates and facts have been taken from the joint burial stone of Denzil
Little and his second sister names Mary Little and the pariah burial records.
His and his sister's death dates and burial dates align and match Denzil Little
being born about the year of 1785 (1819-34age=1785). Sister Mary Little dates
match up as well. She died 2 August 1819 per the tombstone record at age 25.
(1819-25=1794) the second Mary Little's baptism/birth date.
From the manner that the tombstone is written it appears that both Denzil age
34 and his younger sister age 25 are not married as no spouse names are associated
upon the tombstone, only the facts of their relationsips to their parents Thomas
and Elizabeth are recorded - See below. This grave stone helps form this family
together.
