Children of William Little and Catherine Patterson are:
  i.   William Little418, born 08 Nov 1775418,419; died 18 Aug 1782420,421
  Notes for William Little:
The Bible entry is missing the last two digits of William's birth year. It does list however the day as Wednesday the 8th. A later entry gives his death date as what appears to be 18 Aug 1782, aged 6 years, 10 months & 2[undecipherable] days. The number of months seems to be off by 1. The day and month on both birth and death dates are clear, as is the death year. The earliest the birth year could be is 1775 and the latest is 1776. 8 Nov 1775 was in fact a Wednesday.

  ii.   Nancy Little422, born 04 Nov 1777422,423; died Unknown.
  Notes for Nancy Little:
The Bible entry lists Nancy's birth date as a Wednesday but the 4 November 1777 is a Tuesday.

  69 iii.   Eleanor Little, born 03 Aug 1779 in ?, Burke, GA; died 06 Aug 1845 in ?, Burke, GA; married William Patterson 06 Jan 1803 in ?, Burke, GA.
     
Children of William Little and Martha Mathers are:
  64 i.   William Little, born 21 Jan 1784 in Burke Co., GA; died 18 Nov 1856; married Nancy Emily Patterson 12 Jul 1809 in Jefferson Co., GA.
  ii.   Robert Little424, born 24 Sep 1786424; died 25 Sep 1803424
  Notes for Robert Little:
The copy of the William Little Family Bible that lists Robert's birth date does not have the birth year. A later entry states that Robert died on the 25th day of September 1803, aged 17 years and two days. This would put his birth year as 1786.

The confusion over birth and death dates between the William Little and William Patterson Bibles needs to be further researched.
