Died 2: 31 Jan 1800⁴⁸²

Notes for Catherine Patterson:
Catherine's death entry in the Bible is a little hard to read but 15 Oct 1781 was in fact a Tuesday. However, the age calculation appears to be off. Her birth entry states clearly that she was born in September. Her death entry shows October. There are not 23 years and 11 months apart.

It would appear that Catherine's (and by extension William's) birth entries in both the William Little and William Patterson family Bible's were either copied from a common source or one was copied from the other since Catherine's entry only mentions the month and year of her birth but not the day.

Children of William Little and Catherine Patterson are:

William Little ⁴⁸⁵, born 08 Nov 1775^485,⁴⁸⁶; died 18 Aug 1782 ^487,⁴⁸⁸

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 Little ⁴⁸⁹, born 04 Nov 1777^489,⁴⁹⁰; 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.

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 Little ⁴⁹¹, born 24 Sep 1786⁴⁹¹; died 25 Sep 1803⁴⁹¹

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.
