    3. Hello list, I have asked here about Thomas Conner and Noah Conner with some good responces I might add. I have found a bit of information on the web and asked the author of the particular webpage. She tells me that according to the Thigpen Tribe, Thomas Conner married Elizabeth Little around 1815-16. Elizabeth was the daughter of Exum Little and Elizabeth Thigpen. I am wondering if I may be getting closer to finding out possibly Thomas Conner was Noah Conner's father. I am hoping to be right. My theory is based on the fact that Exum Little had a brother names Noah/Noe. I am wondering if anyone possibly has any more information to lead me in the right direction. Below this I am including a brief portion. William LITTLE was born about 1720. He died about 1794 in Edgecombe Co. NC. Will dated May 4, 1790, probated November 1794, Edgecombe Book C, p 293 names wife Elizabeth, sons Exum, Gray, and Noe; daus Tempy, Elsey, Fanny, Polly, Elizabeth. Exrs Exum and Gray Little, sons. Wit. Jesse Little, John Little, Mary Scarborough. Leaves son Exum a new survey of land containing 150 acres; son Gray a Negro man called Colson; son Noe the plantation where "I now live" The Edward Pleasants Valentine Papers abstract records of VA families including Exum, Gray, Lyddall, and Pleasants - all names included in this family. Parents: William LITTLE, Morning KIMBOROUGH. Children were: Exum LITTLE, Gray LITTLE , Noe (Noah) LITTLE, Tempy LITTLE, Elsey LITTLE, Fanny LITTLE, Polly LITTLE, Elizabeth LITTLE. Exum LITTLE died in 1816 in Edgecombe Co. NC. No proof this is the same Exum Little. According to the records of Estates of Edgecombe Co. the widow Elizabeth petioned in Nov 1816 for provisions and dower, saying he died intestate Oct 1, 1816. He had 150 A on east side of Tar River adj Jonas Lewis dec'd, Joshua Sharp, Noah Little and David Barnes. He left heirs William, James, Elizabeth wife of Thomas C. Conner, Sarah/Sally, and Exum. Noah was guardian of Sarah and Exum. Thomas Conner was admin. James Little was also a minor. Parents: William LITTLE and Elizabeth THIGPEN.
