I have desperately been trying to find out more information about the
Littlejohn genealogy. I recently found information via http://www.gencircles.com
regarding a William Littlejohn, born in Jackson Co, Ohio, which would match the
information that Dave Littlejohn found about William Fredrick Littlejohn and his
parents, William and Melissa. However, the spelling of Melissa is "Malissa"
in the gencircles records, which could just be a misspelling. Apparently
Melissa's maiden name was Dixon. Her father was Thomas Dixon, which was
Dickerson in Dave's research. One can see how this information seems to fit the
information provided by Dave Littlejohn. Marriage Records for Malissa and William
can be found in the Probate Court, Jackson Co, Ohio - Vol. D,E
(1857-1872) Call Number: 0301044 Batch: M513212, married September 12,
1860.
According to their records, William Littlejohn's parents were Aaron Littlejohn, born
around 1810, in Martin Co, KY, and Lucinda Gilliland, born February 29, 1816 in Keystone Furnace, Jackson County, and died Oct.11 1909 in Wellston.
Lucinda is buried in the Ridgeway Cemetery in Milton Twp. The following are Aaron and Lucinda's
children:
Rebecca Littlejohn born around 1837
I have sent emails to other Littlejohn members in Ohio to gather more
information. As I receive information, I will update this website. If
anyone else has information of Aaron's parents, please contact me.
