I've a number of Littlejohn family members who have resided in Fulton County during the 1800's. I'm searching for 2 death records...perhaps as evidenced by cemetery burials as I've not found them elsewhere.
John E Littlejohn b. abt 1847 died between 1910 and 1920. 1910 census record has him living on Broadway in Astoria Township, Fulton County.
and his wife, Nancy A. (Thompson) Littlejohn b. abt 1848. 1920 census record has her living alone on Indin??? St. Astoria.
AND...I'm searching for ANY additional information on John's father, Abraham who was murdered in 1848 in Woodland. His mother's history (Margaret Littlejohn Bloomfield) is well documented in Fulton county records.
Interesting! Not familiar with those mentioned, but my grandmother used to speak of Mrs Littlejohn, her neighbor in Lewistown. I will see what I can come up with as do not remember her first name.
