=== DNA Evidence =========
Jacob Little was one of my 64 5th great grandfathers. I am descended from him through Peter Little. Using the ThruLines program on Ancestry.com I can provide evidence for four of his children. This just provides added evidence as we already have these children mentioned in his will which is probably the best source available. The other children may not show up as DNA matches because they may just not have any descendants alive today that have taken the Ancestry.com DNA test and provided sufficient family tree information for Ancestry to make a connection to me. Or the DNA connection may not have been strong enough to meet Ancestry's threshold as these are distant connections. Here are my ThruLine results for Jacob Little's children:

In the name of God Amen I, Jacob Little of Wayne County and territory of Indiana being weak in body but of perfect mind and memory and calling to mind the mortality of my body & knowing it is appointed once for all men to die, I do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament. Principally, and first of all, I would commit my soul into the house of God and my body to the earth to be buried decently at the discretion of my Executor, and, touching my earthly estate where with it has pleased god to bless me in this life, I devise and dispose of it in the following manner and form.
First, I give to all my children sixty two and a half cents, namely: Abraham Little, Lewis Little, Peter Little, Charity Banfield, Mary March, Jacob Little Jr., and Christian Jones.
2nd, I give and bequeath to my wife, Hannah Little my personal property except what is herein after excepted while she remains my widow.
3rd - I give to my Grandson Saban Garner my Broken Breech Rifle together with the use of as many of the farming ……
….. or articles of husbandry and the mare as my Executor may deem necessary to raise a competency for my wife and herself during her Widowhood. If she should marry another husband, she is then to have no more than a bed, a dutch oven, and a wheel.
Every article in my possession at my death not before mentioned herein that is deemed unnecessary for the support of the family by my executor, he will sell, the proceeds of which he will pay all my just debts, the balance, if any, he will keep with the rest of my money and let my widow have merely as much together with her other income as he shall think necessary for her so that she is comfortable and at her decease I Will that the balance of all my my marriage and personal affects be sold & equally divided Between Lewis Little, Charity Banfield, and Christiana Jone.
And, whereas that I had made a good deed to a certain tract of land sold by my son Jacob Little to Joseph Lowery and also that I had received a sufficient Bond from the said Jacob to make good as soon as convenient to my grandson Saban Garner before named the seventy acres of land on west Whitewater being the east end of the SW Quarter of Section 10, Township 15, Range 13, and said is so divided by running a line thru NS that mine or rather Saban's lot should have the spring at the river bank. But both obligations being lost for the form or our Signatures. I hereby empower my executor to make a general warranty deed as soon as the said Jacob Little or heirs shall make or execute and & sufficient bond to the above seventy acres of land to the said Saban Garner thro my Executor agreeable to the above contract which I hereby give an Bequeath to my Grand Son Saban on condition that my wife Hannah Little shall have her home on the premises during her widowhood and be comfortably provided for by the said Saban with firewood and other necessities.
And lastly I hereby constitute and appoint my friend George Want my sole Executor of this my last Will & Testament hereby revoking and annulling all former wills by me heretofore made, ratifying this and no other to be my last Will and Testament In testimony whereof I have hereunto let my hand and affixed my seal this 24 Day of November in the year of our Lord 1812
