Research Notes:
Dr. Little settled at Mercersburg after his marriage, where he practiced his profession for many years. He was a man of fine attainments and a skillful physician. He was postmaster 1822-27, and trustee of Marshall College and Secretary of the Board 1836-48. [Ref: Helm TODD p357]

There seems to be no reason to doubt that Dr. Little of Mercersburg was descended from one if not both of the early Klein families of Adams Co, PA, translated Little in accordance with the policy of the Proprietary government of Pennsylvania. The ancestors of these families were respectively Ludwig Little, who settled in Germany township near Littlestown,, and Caster Little, who became a farmer in Mt. Joy township, near Two Taverns.
While the probabilities of Dr. Little's relationship to one of the two Little families as indicated in the following accounts are very strong, with a possibility of his descent from both through Henry and Magdalena (Little) Little, the most painstaiking inquiry and investigation have failed to establish anything that can be accepted as absolute proof of it. With this explanatio the subjoined accounts of the descendents of Ludwig and Casper Little are published. [goes on for six pages of Little families]

daughter Susannah is mentioned in will of Peter's brother Jacob, establishing that they are sons of Casper [Ref: Nancy Gillette 1/13/2001]
