I think you are caught up in the wrong Littleton. I think you are looking for Littleton W not Littleton Purcell. Littleton W. b 1813 KY d Yamhill OR; bur Brownsville Pioneer Cemetery. He was married to Eliza Sampson also b KY. He was the son of Charles Younger and Sarah Sullivan Purcell. On the 1850 Clay County MO census, you will find a son, Joshua b 1836. Yor grandfather was not kidding you. Littleton W was a brother to Henry Washington, the father of the gang.

So, is there a Littleton Purcell Younger? And if so, where does he belong? Wilma ----- Original Message ----- From: Wilma C.

Littleton Purcell b 1842 Liberty, MO is the son of Coleman Purcell Younger and Eleanor Murray. He was the grandson of Charles and Sarah Sullivan Purcell.

I don't have a Littleton W., but two Littleton Purcells... oh my-oh my, where lies the truth? :) Marley Brant only mentions one Littleton and he was Littleton Purcell Younger (full bro the Henry Washington Younger), she calls "uncle" to Cole and 1/2 brother to "Frank" Younger (Charles Franklin Younger-brother of Bruce and T. J. Younger). Here are the three??: 1. Littleton Younger b 1811 to Joshua Logan and Catharine Yoter Younger. (married who?) 2. Littleton Purcell Younger b 1816 to Charles Lee Younger and Sarah Sullivan Purcell. (m Elizabeth Sampson?) As per descendants Deanna Baker and Lynn Strandburg; Marley Brant. 3. Littleton Purcell Younger b 1842 to Coleman Purcell and Ellinor Murray Younger. (married who?) I might as well add, descendant Jim Chase, and others have the following name discrepancy. They have Thomas Coleman Younger, who went by the name Coleman and resided in California, for which I have seen stated here as Coleman Purcell Younger who married Ellinor Murray. Where is his name written/stated Coleman Purcell Younger? In the 1840, 1850 and 1860 census he is called Coleman. Wasn't he titled Major as well? I am going to have to go back to old snail-mail to find this and other information I have received. This has nothing to do with anything except the mention of the Lee connection for mother of Charles Lee Younger. The man above, whatever name was correct, had with Augusta peters Inskeep, a daughter Alice Lee Younger and a son Henry Lee "Harry" Younger (died age2). There seems to have been some connection to the Lees.....somewhere, sometime? I have about 5 books on the Youngers, and to my knowledge all of the books on the James Boys, including first Editions from 1880-1882 period if anyone has something they want me to look up. I am trying to transcribe these OLD books, (which some fall apart when pages are turned) into txt files so I can look things up easier.... another timely task. Where do I get these ideas??? :) Wilma, that was Ted P. Yeatman and the book was: "Frank and Jesse James: The Story Behind the Legend." Pub 2000. He said his publisher was in a big rush and there are errors in the book. He asked several of us to note any found, so he can place them correctly in the next printing. I am looking forward to this book and if you like documentation, most of the book is just filled with it! I highly reccommend this book to any person interested in this topic. You can find Ted on the Delphi.com board just look for Jesse James topic and sign in. Lots of great stuff there and people who are "Gang" members congregate to share ideas. Linda in KCMO-trying to make sense of it all :)
