Judy Thanks so much for just looking up our surnames without us even asking. hee hee Since you live there and obviously know the nooks and cranies to look in, maybe you can help me out. I was in Kenton about three years ago and spent two very productive days with Jennie Bostetler (sp?). We found lots of LITTLETON stuff BUT at the time, I really wasn't looking for this one particular person. But for the past year or two, I have been trying to find him but with NO LUCK. Charles William Littleton b 18 Oct 1831 Clarke Co, OH d 29 Mar 1908. He is listed in the 1850 Hardin Co, Census living with his mother, Elizabeth Ann Littleton Vansky. That is the last time I have been able to find mention of him. That's the problem. The mother (deceased) of a descendant of the Edgar and Elinor Littleton you posted in your first surname list last night gave my father (deceased) the death date of 29 Mar 1908 back in the early 1980's. This cousin of mine and I have not been able to figure out where she got this date from. All of Charles's siblings died in Hardin Co. Daniel Jackson Littleton d 1914, George Washington Littleton d 1909, and Ruth Ester Littleton Fultz d 1917. Since Charles was the first sibling to die, he naturally isn't mentioned in any of his siblings obits. We have NOT been able to find a DC or obit in Hardin Co for Charles and Ohio didn't start keeping state records until the end of 1908. So the problem is I have a death date but no PLACE. Without a death place, I can't track down any of his descendants. The other problem is we lost our house and everything in it (all paper genealogy records) in a fire last Feb. I did have a copy of the will and estate papers of I believe some of the Vanskys that named all living heirs. Elizabeth Ann Littleton remarried Samuel P Vansky in 1841, had 4 kids then he died 20 Mar 1850 in Hardin Co. Elizabeth THEN married a Henry Hatfield in 1851 (no kids that I know of) and Henry died 8 May 1862 in the Civil War in McDowell, VA. Possibly there is a will or estate papers in Hardin Co for these two other husbands that will show heirs and there whereabouts including Charles William. If he indeed did die in 1908, he very likely married and had kids. I need to find them. Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated. I'll gladly reimburse you for any expenses or postage, etc. Tell Jeannie Hi from me. Did you ever get a place for all the records? If I remember right, you had them all stored in a trailer and were looking for a building for the Genealogy Society.
