Seventh Generation

222. LITTLETON7 STURGIS (LEVI6, RICHARD5, RICHARD4, RICHARD3, JOHN2, JOHN1) was born in Worcester Co., MD about 1797. LITTLETON died before May 10, 1865 in Somerset Co., MD. Administrators, Littleton H. Sturgis and James J. Moore filed account of his estate. (Som. Accts SCL9:179-Leslie Powell Dryden, Dryden Family and Descendants, Book I, 1992, p. 136)

He married PRISCILLA DRYDEN in Somerset Co., MD, October 4, 1825. (license date)

PRISCILLA was born in Somerset Co., MD about 1804. PRISCILLA was the daughter of MILLS DRYDEN and BETSY WINDER MURRAY. PRISCILLA died before 1870. That Littleton was the son of Levi Sturgis is based on circumstantial evidence: that he appeared on an 1822 deed with Levi; that he would be named for Littleton Williams, his maternal grandfather, and that his age tracks with that of one of the males living in Levi's household from 1800-1820.

Littleton and his family appear in the Dublin District, Somerset Co., MD for the 1850 and 1860 census. (Leslie Powell Dryden, Dryden Family and Descendants, Book I, 1992) In 1850, Littleton, age 53, is a farmer with real estate valued at $4,000. Priscilla 46, Mary, 20, Priscilla Jr., 13, Littleton H., 11, Emma Grace is 9 and Handy 5. A John Webb, 22, farmer, is living in their household.

Littleton, his wife, Miss Sarah Ann, Miss Elizabeth, Mary T., Priscilla, Isaac M. Emma T. and Littleton H. are shown as communicants at Dividing Creek Church as four adults and five children in Coventry Parish Records, Vol. II, (no date-about 1846, as Sarah and Elizabeth weren't married yet)
