William Littleton (1700s) England - America.
Apologies to anyone who has sent messages to this forum for my attention but due to a protracted illness, I have had to set genealogy to one side. However, having made a full recovery, I've dusted off the files and have managed a couple of visits to London in recent weeks.
On my latest visit, I was browsing the bookshelves at the Family History Centre and came accross a book entitled 'American Wills proved in London'. Contained in it was this reference:
1755, John Graham of Wapping, Middlesex, mariner (of Charles Town, SC, bachelor) dated 9th July 1753. My whole estate to my friend William Littleton of Wapping, victualler, who is to be my exec. (ref: PROB 11/815/131)
If John Graham had emigrated and died in Charles Town, all of his estate would have been there. William therefore might have emigrated to claim his inheritance. Is there anyone in South Carolina who could follow this up? I will order a copy of this will with my next batch to come from the PRO and will post any further information that it might contain.
Watch this space!!!!!
May I also take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Regards,
Trevor T. Littleton
