Daily Ancestor: Lydia Ann Little and Family
Who: Lydia Little (1832-1917) is my GGG Grandmother, wife of Alexander Mervin Gartley, mother of David Little Gartley
Why: While visiting my parents this weekend, we visited the Hollabaugh Bros. Farmers Market. I immediately recognized the last name from my family history research and did a quick check of the file on my phone and found that the Hollobaughs in my family were from Adams County, Pa., just like this market. I decided to start my research by double checking the family connection from Lydia to her Paternal Grandmother, Susannah Hollobaugh.
What I've Found:
At least 8 Member Trees on Ancestry.com confirm the parentage of Lydia Ann Little up to David Little (1755-1824), Christopher Hollobaugh (1750-1812), Catherina [Hollobaugh] (1750-1806), and Henry Mollison (?-?)
the 1850 Census for Hunterstown, Adams Co., Pa. has Lydia (then 18) living with her parents David (49) and Nancy (43), plus five sisters and three brothers.
And here she is:
