Capt. Daniel Little and His Contemporaries - 1753 - 1789 1995 by Pauline M. Shook page 88 - Notes data about Captain Peter Little - first son of Capt. Daniel Little [the Littles came to this country as Klein but translated that to the English Little] Details about his being in the Rev War. At 25 - 1778 - he married Chrstina Agner and they do not know he parentage. I suppose I should not have put it in there [as sister of Phillipina] It says Daniel Little, Sr was naturalized the same day as the German, Herr Jacob Iegnor back in 1753 and some have felt that Peter's bride might have been related to the German immigrant. But Jacob Iegnor moved away from Rowan County before this event took place, at a time when Christina would have been a child. Around the time of his marriage Peter axquired his plantation in the valley between the Middle Fork and the South Fork of Crane Creek bordering on the land of family friend Michael Brown. Peter's militia district covered this area and in August when he was ordered to call up the men who had failed to sign the oaths of allegiance on the date appointed for it, we see among the 35 names on his list those of John Agender, Anthony Agender and David Agender." We know that John and David Agender were sons of Henry who lived on the South Fork of Crane Creek across the valley from Peter's plantation, and although the thought may have occurred, we have found no evidence that Peter's wife Christtna was related to this family. Not that she wasn't. There is quite a bit on Peter and notes about the wills and distribution of assets . Christina survived her husband - she lived to age 91 - 1850 They mention - page 114 that Phillipina Eigenern [Agner] was among the names of the members of the Dutch Pine Lutheran Church. It is my understanding the an ending "ern" denotes feminine form. There is a copy of the inventory of Peter Little's estate - 1822 A transcription of Christina's Deed of Conveyance - 1845 - mostly dispensation of the negroes. 1784 - Daniel [Jr] was named "true and lawful attorney" to handle all legal matters for George Agenor [sic] in December of that year. We do not know for sure what relationship existed here but it was probably of Phillipina's family. George had moved to District 96 in South Carolina. [more research needed] 1788 - Four children had been born to Daniel and Phillipina by 1788. [Daniel Sr died in 1775 and is the first grave in the Old English Cemetery in Salisbury]. They were Elizabeth [1785], John Paul [1786] and twin daughters Mary [Polly] and Phillipina [1788] [Elizabeth is ours, married Silas Benjamin Shinn. She was a widow on the wagon train along with a widow Mary Harkey who was believed to be her twin, but not proven. Elizabeth's two daughters had children that married each other. My husband descends from these cousins] Soon after this the family mved to the northern section of Mecklenburg County, into the area which became Cabarrus County in 1793. In the first Federal Census taken in 1790 in then Mecklenburg county wer find the name of Daniel Little listed as a surveyor and teacher with a wife and five children. Daniel Little III being born about the time of the move. 1793 - Knowing they would not be returning to their old home grounds, the property in Rowan County was sold to neighbor, Jacob Fisher. 1800 - Five more children were born into the family of Daniel and Phillipina and in 1800 their oldest daughter married Silas Benjamin Shinn. The two families moved south into Kershaw District about 50 miles south of the border with North Carolina, south and east of Charlotte. Dan sold his real estate holdings in Cabarrus County and he and his son-in-law Silas Shinn bought land on Five and Twenty Creek about nine miles south-west of Lugoff, South Carolina. One of the purposes in writing this book has been not only to clear up mysteries but also to correct misconceptions. In the case of Phillipina's surname we have been able to do both. For many years family historians have named Dan's wife as Phillipina Flynn, but this name has been questioned as unlikely considering the German background of this family. In 1981 inofrmation pointed to her being a member of the Agner ]Agenor, Iengor, etc] family was found in the "Family History" written in 1911 by Judge Franklin Lightfoot Little of Harris County, GA. = page 115 page 140- a transcripton of deed - George Agenor to Daniel Little Jr. This is a very good book. There is a copy of the naturalization papers of Daniel Little and Jacob Iegnor fron th Rowan County Court Minutes 1753-1755 - really hard to read. Young Daniel interpreted for the older Jacob.
