My name is Mary K. Johnson, and I am researching the ancestors and descendants of Littleton and Lucinda Pearlee Whitten. They settled in northern Mississippi near Pontotoc County in the late 1850's. However, when Littleton did not return from the Civil War, Lucinda returned to her parents in Alabama then eventually settled with some of her children in central Mississippi in Attala County. What really happened to Littleton? Did he really die during the Civil War? Considering his ungallant past "back home" in Georgia before he married Lucinda, one has to wonder! Nevertheless, the page is dedicated to all of the descendants of Littleton Whitten.
