George W. Littleton, a farmer and stock raiser, of Village Township, is a son of William and Martha (Brown) Littleton, the former a native of North Carolina, and the latter born in Tennessee, in which latter State this worthy couple were married. William Littleton emigrated to Tennessee with his father in 1801; he was the father of ten children, of whom four sons and four daughters are still living. In the order of their birth George W. was the fourth. In 1886 he married Miss Telitha Jane Hall, a native of Virginia, and to them have been born seven children, viz: Martin, born in 1858; Eliza, who married Mr. Henry Sullivan in 1873, and died in 1875; Samuel P., who was born in 1865; Martha Lena, married John Darden, February 23, 1887; William, born in 1870; Amanda, born in 1872; and Henry, born in 1875. Mr. Littleton and family removed from Tennessee to Arkansas in 1872; he rented land which he farmed for several years, when he purchased eighty acres, only six acres of which were under cultivation; he and his sons cleared forty-nine acres of this place, and he is now negotiating the purchase of 220 acres in Bird Township, Jackson County, 125 acres of which are cleared and broken, to which place he expects to move. He has some very fine stock on his place, among which are thirteen blooded horses, good grades of cattle, and about eighty hogs of the best breeds. In politics Mr. Littleton is inclined to be liberal. In 1862 he enlisted in Company I, First Regiment Tennessee Volunteer Infantry, was immediately promoted to the sergeantcy, and subsequently became first lieutenant, thus serving until the close of the war, in all three years and four months.
