Hi Rick, Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. I kept forgetting to bring Brians manuscript to work until today. Here is what he found (he sent me copies of the actual records he found) as written in the manuscript. - ----------------------------- Farrell LITTLETON (also spelled Pherrill, Ferrill, etc) is claimed by descendants to be a son of Hon John Littleton. He witnessed several Fairfax Co, wills 1750-1753 and 1761, and is also listed in the Farifax Co, 'COURT ORDERS' 15 times from 1750 to 1758, principally as a losing defendant in cases brought by William Ramsey, Robert and Edward Maxwell, and John Gist. Supporting the link to John(2), 'cousin William (3) Littleton' also was a defendant in the Maxwell case, and Charles Littleton provided bail for def. Joseph Wilson. Family lore states that Pherrill was killed by a falling tree in Loudoun Co, VA (next to Fairfax) after producing a son, John L (4) Littleton who married Martha Goddard. ------------------------------------- >From all the records found we pretty well know that John(2)Littleton had sons John(3) b 1720, Charles b bef 1726 and Solomon(3) b abt 1740. We haven't found any proof other than the above but it appears that Pherrill could very well have been another son of John(2) Littleton and Sarah. The dates, places and names and relations mentioned in the above court documents support that assumption. There is a lot more on this family in the manuscript pg 20-25 Terry Littleton (listdad)
