Littleton R. Jean

 

 

 

 

Littleton Riley Jean was born December 3, 1829 in Coweta County, Georgia to John and Alcy Jean.

Littleton was first enumerated in the DeSoto County, Mississippi census dated September 20, 1850, living with his older brother, John Hopson Jean.

He returned to Georgia and married Tanza Angeline Slaton (widow of Thomas A. Slaton) on July 30, 1859 in Carroll County.

On July 13, 1860, he and his wife, Angeline, are listed in the Carroll County, Georgia census with a son, Zadok, and his two step-children, Thomas A. and Samantha J. Slaton.

With the onset of the Civil War, Littleton served as a Private in Company C, 26th Battalion of the Georgia Infantry, CSA, out of Carrollton, Georgia from 1863 to April 1865.  He is listed on the muster rolls as being a Wagoner and Teamster for his unit.  He appears on a Roll of Prisoners of War paroled by Brevt. Brig. General M. H. Chrysler, commanding U. S. Forces at Talladega, Alabama.  This document states he was paroled May 22, 1865 in Talladega, Alabama.

On August 1, 1870, Littleton and Angeline are listed in the Haralson County, Georgia census with daughter, Georgia and son, John. Apparently, Zadok had died sometime between 1860 and 1870.

Littleton’s stepson, Thomas A. Slaton, married Mary New on September 23, 1874. The marriage was performed by Littleton’s older brother, Hardy Hopson Jean, Justice of the Peace of the 1143rd District Court of Haralson County, Georgia.  His stepdaughter, Samantha Slaton, was married to Simeon L. C. Waldrop on October 24, 1874 in Haralson County, Georgia by J. G. Newman, JP.  On October 8, 1876, Littleton's daughter, Georgia, was married to G. W. Y. Hutcherson in Haralson County, Georgia by W. J. Walten, M.G.

The census of June 18, 1880 finds Littleton, Angeline, with sons John and Ezra in Marshall County, Alabama. Living in the next household is their daughter, Georgia Hutcherson, age 19, divorced, with daughter, Fannie G. Hutcherson.  In the next household are Simeon and Samantha Waldrop and their children, Ida, James W. and Mary M. Waldrop.

On March 16, 1882, Littleton purchased thirty-seven acres of land from Isaac M. and Sarah V. Berry in Cullman County, Alabama.

In 1896, he applied for a pension, based on his Civil War service, in Winston County, Alabama. On a Schedule of Property dated April 10, 1899, Littleton is said to own 4 head of cattle worth $50; 17 hogs and sheep worth $20; one gun worth $2; household and kitchen furniture worth $15; one bicycle worth $10; and mechanical and farming tools and implements worth $3.

Littleton suffered from Catarrh of the head which affected his lungs.  He succumbed to the illness on March 9, 1906 at his home in Arley, Alabama.  He was laid to rest in the Kemp Baptist Church Cemetery next to his son, John J. Jean.

After his death, his wife applied for widow’s benefits on July 2, 1906.

Littleton's signature on pension application dated May 15, 1896.

I would like to acknowledge Hazel Kidd Lawson of Bellevue, Washington, for getting me back on track with the Littleton Jean story. She not only sent me some wonderful pictures and informative documentation, but gave me the clue that led to my finding Littleton and his family after 1870. Also, Sandra Nabors of Cordova, Alabama has begun working with me. Sandra is a descendant of Littleton's son, John J. Jean.

Two wonderful ladies belonging to the Winston County Genealogical Society have been assisting in the search for information on Littleton's family, Treva Hood and Ruth Ferguson.  Ruth obtained a Civil War soldier's grave marker for Littleton's gravesite.  Check out their website--it is fantastic!
