Through research I've found Littleberry had a cousin named
the same: in Breckinridge Co. death records: "Littleberry
Basham, male, 63, b.VA., married, Farmer, son of Bartlett
and Susan Basham, died 10-27-1855 of Dropsy, Grayson Co."
This Littleberry, then, was son of an uncle Bartlett and
Susan Nancy Farmer. My Bartlett was named for this uncle.
I do know Jonathan Basham md. Elizabeth Jones, 23 Mar.1786
in Bedford Co., VA., trying to figure out if Jonathan was a
brother of Obediah and Bartlett, the elder (uncle).
I have a copy of extract of our Obediah's Revolutionary War
pension record, if you're interested.
