18. John Little. Son of James Little & Elizabeth Irving. Born 6 Sep 1786 in Dumfries, Scotland. Died 13 Apr 1872 in Harvey. Buried in Harvey Settlement Cemetery. Occupation Farmer. Religion Presbyterian.

There is some confusion as to the exact year that John Little, his wife Janet Heughan and their family left their native Dumfriesshire, Scotland and came to America. Obituaries of John and Janet state they came in 1832, and the 1851 Census gives the year of entry as 1832. However, in the book, "The Littles of Galloway and the County of Kent" by George E. Little, it indicates that John came to Kent County in 1819 and settled there for a few years before moving to New Maryland, and later to Harvey. Perhaps at some time in the future some other interested family genealogist will continue the research and be able to determine the exact time that this branch of the Littles came to New Brunswick.

It is believed that John Little and his wife Janet Heughan with their children came to New Brunswick in 1832, and first settled in New Maryland, 1E of Hanwell Settlement, granted 26 Aug 1836. (Vol. 18, No. 847, Land Grants, page 503) and his brothers Andrew and Matthew had adjoining lots--this area in New Maryland became known as "Little Settlement". In 1842, John bought 50 acres of land from John Ryan and wife Helen, Lot A granted to John Ryan by the crown in 1838, also in New Maryland. John and Janet sold both lots to Thomas Moss, cotton manufacturer, and his wife Agnes on 26 Apr 1851 for one hundred and fifty pounds, and John held a mortgage on the property. (F5628 John Little to Thomas Moss, New Maryland)

After the sale of their New Maryland property, they moved to Harvey where most of their children had already settled.

John and Janet had nine children, the youngest son died on the voyage to New Brunswick.

See the book, "The Little Family of Harvey Settlement" for further details on John and Janet Little's family.

Died Harvey, 14th inst., John Little, age 87, native of Dumfriesshire, Scotland and emigrated to America in 1832 with his wife and 9 children, eight of whom still survive. He early entered the communion of the Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

Died Harvey, 24th ult., Jane Little wife of John Little, age 84. The deceased was a native of Dumfriesshire, Scotland. She emigrated to America in 1832 where she became surrounded with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
