I know that Ethel Litton m. James Welch. then the brick wall slams in. Can use any help I can get. Know that they lived in Johnson Co, Pike Co, KY and Stonecoal WV area. Am searching for James and Margaret Litton. they are listed in the Martin Co 1900 census. In the census it shows Litten. James b. 4-1868 age 32 married for 9 years WV KY WV Magaret b. 3-1869 age 31 ky WV KY (believe her maiden name to be Muncy) Danel age 7, Ethel age 5, Etta age 3 and Helen J. age 1 In a scrap book I found the following Mrs. Litton 78 Dies at Merrimac Mrs. Margaret Litton, 78, of Merrimac, died Tuesday at 3:00pm in her home. She is the wife of the late James Litton. Mrs. Litton was born in Martin County, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Muncey. She was a member of the Freewill Baptist Church. Survivors include one daughter, Mrs. Clara Risk of Merrimac. and two sons, Dan Litton of Ball Grant, GA and James Litton of Merrimac. Funeral Services were conducted at the home at 2:30 PM with Hence Allen and Cleve Russell officiating. Burial followed at the Phillips Cemetery in Merrimac. I am assuming that since this was in my mothers' scrapbook it is a relation to her. It is said that Ethel died while Mom was a "babe in arms" of TB. Does this ring any bells with you are anyone?
