Finding Thomas Blount Littlejohn

Sometime prior to 1760 a teenager named William Littlejohn left Scotland and sailed to America. 38 years later eldest son Thomas journeyed inland 150 miles with the same pioneer spirit. As the title suggests this project started out as the author's efforts to find Thomas. However it quickly grew to include familial backstory to his siblings parents and the old Scottish lineage. SPECIAL REVIEW: Finding Thomas Blount Littlejohn is a well-researched and well-written book and indeed it is an excellent template for those wishing to research and write a family history. However you don't have to be a genealogist or a descendant to find this book entertaining. It is an appealing historical narrative by itself. Additionally Mr. Bryan provides a very cogent analysis of Thomas B. Littlejohn's important place in the history of Oxford and Granville County. A fine job by a good researcher! -- Mark A.
