Thomas Little emigrated to Ontario, Canada from Ireland about 1840, where he then engaged in farming. He moved to Black Creek, WI in 1865. At this time the township was still a mass of tangled brush. He located on 240 acres in Black Creek, then moved to an 80 acre tract in Grand Chute Twp for 4 years. He moved to Sheridan Twp in Poweshiek Co, IA between 1869-1879. He returned to Wisconsin, first in Winnebago County then returning to Black Creek, where he operated an 80 acre farm. He then bought an 80 acre farm nearby that he sold 15 years later. He next took up a quarter section in Black Creek Twp for 8 years. He then settled on a 10 acre tract near the village for 5 years. He moved into the village of Black Creek where he remained the rest of his life.
