* Other son of Jonas
was Douglas Little who married Martha Ann Wright, another daughter
of John and Catherine Wright. In fact on the 1850 and 1860 census,
Martha's parents are living in her house. One son of Douglas and Martha
Little was called Powhatan who wrote much about their ancestry and named most of
his children accordingly. Powhatan's daughter, Laura, was researching
Cleopatra, another child of the famous Indian Chief Powhatan and our native
american blood.
*Other daughter of
Lattie Little Coonfield was Amy Marie, who married Joseph Gray and their child,
Dorlene, was
researching the indian blood in the Little family. Family lore is that the
Coonfields were also indian blood.

Captain George Little of Scotland and Mary of Scotland had a son named Jonas. Jonas Little married his step sister Betsy Douglas, daughter of Alexander and Mary Douglas. George married Mary Douglas after both had become widowed. Jonas and Betsy had a son named Hiram Lucius Little and another named Douglas Little. Hiram and Douglas both married Wright sisters; Hiram to Catherine and Douglas to Martha, daughters of Catherine G Weatherford and John C Wright of Charlotte VA. The Littles and Wrights had both moved into Bullitt Kentucky and all suspected of having Indian Blood according to the stories passed on plus some letters written by other Little family members. Douglas and Martha Little had a son named Lucius Powhatan Little and he was researching Chief Powhatan of VA. Hiram and Catherine had John Wright Little and he told his children that he was Indian. John's daughter Lattie Cedonia Little Coonfield said that she was Cherokee. Lattie's daughter Luella Coonfield Cochran said that she was one quarter Cherokee and mixed with another tribe. Luella's son Frankie Lavern Cochran also married an indian, Anne Carter. My webpages includes copies of letters and census images to help us with this continued research. However, let's keep in mind the many others included in our genealogy, like Catherine Crigler, Reason Roby, Kitty Simmons, Lydia Carpenter who explored this new country among the indians who taught them how to survive. |

One can only
wonder if Benoni Smith was an Uncle or grandfather or other family
member to
Kitty
Weatherford, to give
surety to her marriage to John C
Wright. Perhaps the
unknown mother of Kitty was a Polly
Jones of the
Thomas Jones
families of
Bermuda Hundred in Henrico VA and have some connection to a Smith or a
Vaughn. We can only
wonder when reading the census image below what happened for Martha Ann
Wright Little to take in the children of her two sisters and her mother is
also living with them. Martha even
raised John Wright Little who said that he was Cherokee Indian according
to his daughter Lattie Cedonia
Little and her
daughter Luella said
that she was one quarter
Cherokee mixed with another tribe. Luella
Coonfield married Frank
Delbert Cochran. Martha named
her first son Powhatan and she was a native of Charlotte
Virginia. Other family
members have
suspected Indian Blood in the Wright family, but also in the
Little
family. The
photo of John Wright Little's wife is awesome, Mary Catherine
Crigler. |

Catherine G Weatherford,
daughter of Charles, married John C Wright in Charlotte, Virginia on
January 5, 1811. Benoni Smith was sur to m
them. Benoni Smith was married to a
Vaughan. The connection with Smith,
Vaughn, Weatherford, Wright is unknown. The search for the correct
CHARLES WEATHERFORD continues. There were many Weatherfords in
Charlotte, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg areas and many could have named their
son Charles, as we also find several Catherines. Family suspects the father of
Chief Red Eagle, was also our Charles Weatherford before he made the
trip to Alabama from Virginia. ***Parents of John C Wright
are Thomas and Esther which we are now
tracing. |

Isaac Benjamin
Coonfield born 1780 Pennsylvania married Barsheba Clark in Kentucky and they are found on the
1800 tax list.
IF ISAAC COONFIELD WAS BORN ABOUT 1780 PENNSYLVANIA
HE WAS IN KENTUCKY FOR THE 1800 TAX LIST AND
THE 1810 CENSUS
Moses B. Coonfield in Pennsylvania might have been his brother. Gideon and Oliver Confield were in New York about that time. Yet Isaac never used these names when his sons were born, unless Moses B was a Benjamin. Isaac's father might be Robert J. Confeld so he could be Robert James. It is speculated that Christopher Confeldt is Isaac's grandfather from Holland but we never see that name used in his descendents, yet we do not know what his middle name might have been. It is possible that Christopher had several sons and these names are all related - the old census records do not show their ages, so again it is possible some of these names are sons of Robert.
