A Brief History of the Little Family

The first known member of this family was William L Little. He was born in Ireland about 1792 and came to NB in 1821. He died on 16 Sep 1872 and is buried in Sandy Point Cemetery at Bayside, NB. He married Annie Greenlaw in St Andrews on 29 Sep 1819. There are many "Littles" in this Branch of the Family Tree but this listing is by no means complete. This History includes only four generations but the remainder can be found by searching the Surname Listing. The direct Ancestors of George McGowan are underlined.

[Family Tree] William and Annie had 8 children:

  1. Susannah Litttle-- born 1821; died 1900; married John J Bartlett

    NOTE: This is the first link to the "Bartlett" family tree which is very extensive to say the least. Further generations of the Bartletts can be found by searching for Bartletts under the "surnames" portion of this site.

    The names listed above are a partial listing of the Little family older generations. Research has not been done on the present generation of all families yet that I am aware of. The purpose of this Brief History is to provide a genealogical link between the Little's and the McGowans
