Hi all, It is with great excitement that I make this post. As a very few of you know, with the help of myself, fellow list member Scott Covington Littleton, Jimmy Reese and a few others, a fellow named Brian J L Berry was been working on a manuscript of the first 5 generations of Littletons in the Americas that are NOT descended from Col Nathaniel Littleton in Accomack Co, MD but from a John Littleton that was brought to Accomack Co, VA as a 12 year old child. I have sent small extracts of this manuscript to various list members to help with their queries, but the majority of you have never seen any of this or even known of it's existence. Well I am pleased to announce that the finished manuscript IS HERE. First a little background. Brian is a Prof. at the Univ of Dallas, TX and has been working on tracing the Littleton families for several years. What started as a conglomeration of unattached Littleton families in VA, MD, NC, SC, GA, etc, eventually became a well researched and documented linked tree. I have been privliged to see this manuscript in it's various versions as we all researched different aspects or areas of Littleton lines and forwarded the info to Brian, Each version was sent out to about 10 various people for review, correction, addition, etc. As with most research documents, it is FAR from done as there will always be Littletons that show up and attach to this tree somewhere. A prime example is the John Littleton in KY married to Martha Goddard. We are so close to attaching him to the other Littletons in Fairfax Co, VA it is scary. Just this last week, Brian found the court records on Ferrell Littleton that I posted to the list. Naturally, some of these most recent discoveries are NOT in the manuscript. AH HA - do I smell ADDENDUM??? Anyway, It is a great piece of work and contains about 100 pages, maps of property locations, TONS of documentation, wills, property deeds, children, relationships, etc, etc, etc. I could go on and on it is so well documented. Brian sent me notice today that it should be back from the printer in about 2 weeks. It is about 100 pages, 2 sided 8 1/2 X 11 with board back, clear plastic front and spiral binding. He came up with a cost that would cover printing costs, shipping and handling. He hasn't ask for any reimbursement for his countless hours of work, postage costs, research or personal expenses. He asked if I would post the following ad to the newsgroup. NOW AVAILABLE: JOHN LITTLETON of ACCOMACK CO, VA: HIS FAMILY AND DESCENDANTS This study provides comprehensive details of the first FIVE generations of LITTLETONS in America. To order your copy, send $15 to cover the costs of printing and handling to: Brian L J Berry 2404 Forest Court McKinney, TX 75070-4018 Tel (972) 562-1058 NOW, I have a favor to ask all of you. We all know how much a CD from FTM or a set of Cemetery books from any given county costs. And half the time you don't get much. I find the cost of $15 for this book to be the deal of the century and is definitely worth a lot more. Therefor, I would like to suggest that anyone who orders a copy of this manuscript, PLEASE send Brian $20 or $25 to show him your appreciation. This is MY request. If I can pay for this newsgroup each year just so we all have a valuable research tool available, I think everyone can afford a little extra for this great piece of research. I have seen this product, and believe me, it is well worth a LOT more than his asking price. If you have any questions, feel free to write me. Just DON'T write to ask 'Hey, is my ........ in there?' I don't have the time to do lookups in it for people. I hope everyone is as thrilled about this as I am even though you haven't seen it. If there is a piece of documentation out there that Brian hasn't found, believe me, it's well hidden. Terry Littleton (listdad)
