Re: JOHN LITTLE, LYTTLE, LYTLE (b. 1822, Alfred, Upper Canada) I need list members' help in reading some wording on a silver medallion dated 1733 that has been in my Little/Lyttle/Lytle family for a long, long time. Good Eyes Required :) There are some words etched on the coin (other than it's own minted wording) that I cannot read. I think this may be partly due to the fact that the names/places are not familiar to me. I am hoping someone will be able to give me some direction re. where in Ireland or Scotland my SCOT-IRISH great-grandfather's family came from prior to arriving in Prescott (Alfred) and Renfrew (Westmeath and Pembroke) Counties, ONT Canada, in the early 1800's. (He then left Canada for the state of Wisconsin in the US about 1850'ish.) The URL below will take you to the website of a cousin who has consented to let me use her website for this rather large file. http://users.ecenet.com/wdcopper/medallion.html - "The Medallion Mystery" (Click on the image on this page and wait a bit. A larger and fairly clear picture of the coin will appear.) It is not a perfect image--neither is the original. I would appreciate anyone's help in reading the words etched on this silver medallion--and any historical perspective as well, if you have it. Many thanks to anyone who can help.

It would appear to me that it says Erin Irving and James H______ not sure what the last name is. HMM 1807. Maybe I am crazy. :) -----Original Message----- From: irl-antrim-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:irl-antrim-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Norsky Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 9:07 AM To: IRL-ANTRIM@rootsweb.com Subject: [IRL-ANTRIM] 1733 Medallion Mystery - HELP!
