GEORGE LITTLE 

 

George Little was born October 21, 1819, in Scotland; was married there to Elizabeth Williamson, and soon afterward made a voyage to Australia. In a short time he sailed for San Francisco on the sailing vessel Robert Bowen, and came to Sacramento and directly proceeded on to Negro Bar, where he followed mining for twenty years. He then bought a claim, on which he resided nine years; then selling out, he bought where he is now living, and where he raises grapes and some hay and cattle. This farm of 135 acres is all in good cultivation. Mr. Little’s children are Maggie, William and John E. George Little, the father of the gentleman whose name heads this sketch, was married in 1808, followed teaming and farming, and died in 1847.
