Note: Occasionally you will see information that is contained in brackets [ ]. Wherever this is found, the information is an addition that was not contained in Mr. Price's original paper, but has been added by Michael A. Dye.

The following is a copy of a marriage register kept by Rev. Alexander Little of Washington Co., Va., from 15 July 1859, when he was ordained to preach the Gospel until 28 December 1897, when he died. The handwritten register is, at present, in the possession of Mrs. Lelia Regnier of Roanoke, Va., a granddaughter of Rev. Little. (Note by Donald W. Price, 02 Oct 1999: Since the date of this paper, Lelia Regnier has passed away and the register has since passed down to her son John R. Regnier of Salem, Va.) The register was passed to Mrs. Regnier from her father John Edmundson Little, who lived at Salem Va., until his death in 1936. The register is important because it contains some marriages that are missing from the marriage records of Va. counties and contains some names that are omitted in the existing county records and it identifies the minister who performed some of the marriages that are blank at this time. The column giving county name has been added to this copy of Rev. Little's register [and the names have been sorted alphabetically by Grooms name].

Alexander Little was born 08 Sept., 1834, in Russell Co. Va. He was the third son of William Little [s/o David Little & Sarah Snead] of Halifax Co., Va., and his wife, Nancy [Dye], of N.C. The brothers and sisters of Alexander Little were [(1) Mary Martha Little, b. abt 1825, married Nathaniel Newman Helton, s/o Elijah Helton & Rachel Tuggle;] (2) John [S.] Little, b. 1829 [actual date was 15 Jul 1828], married [first, Nancy ? abt. 1850, probably in Russell Co., Va. and second] Mary [J.] Cooper [d/o Jacob Cooper & Martha Meade] and lived in Russell Co., Va.; (3) James Little, b. 1832 [I have Feb 1833, M.A.D. James was killed 18 Mar 1853 by a falling tree]; (4) Mahala little b. 1833; and (5) [Bransonable] Branson Little, b. 1838 [I have Dec 1837, M.A.D.], m. [first, abt. 1859] Susan Counts [d/o Lennox H. Counts & Mary Woodward] and lived in Washington Co., Va. [Branson Little and Susan Counts had no children. Branson Little married second, on 27 Jun 1902, to Theodosia E. Taylor, d/o Stephen G. Taylor & Louisa Fullen. Together they had 4 children.]

On 18 August 1852, [in Washington Co., Virginia] Alexander Little married Mary Ann Helton, b. 8 Sept., 1837, a daughter of William [B.] Helton and his wife, Rachel [Henderson].

Anner is not lost but sleeping sweetly in the silent mound but some sweet day when the 3 angels message have fallen on every human ear & thriced every Soul & Christ comes to wake up his jewels."

In the Russell Co. records is found the marriage of S. B. Herring and E. C. Campbell. He is 56 years old and single, she is 37 years old and a widow. They were married 2 April 1867 by Rev. Alexander Little. It is possible that hre maiden name was Buckley prior to the Campbell marriage.

Alderson Little - Lys Jackson:

By the 1860 census of Washington Co., Va., Alderson Little age 8 years, was the oldest child of John Little and his wife, Mary Cooper. He was a nephew of Rev. Alexander Little.

[Note by Michael A. Dye - I don't believe that Alderson Little was a son of John Little & Mary Cooper. According to census records Alderson was born in 1852. John Little & Mary Cooper did not marry until 06 Feb 1854. On the marriage record of John Little & Mary Cooper it lists that John Little was widowed. On 10 Dec 1870, in Russell Co., Va., Alfred Price, age 21, s/o Nancy Price, married Mary Little, age 19. Mary's parents were listed as John & Nancy Little. Based on this info, Mary Little would have been born abt. 1851. It is my assertion that Mary & Alderson Little were children of John Little & Nancy ?, who would have been his first wife. There would be no record of John & Nancy's marriage since the marriage records for Russell Co. before 1853 have disappeared.]
