Many sources, like this one, show William as a child of Thomas Little (1608-1672) and Anne Warren Little (1612-1675, daughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren). However, Familypedia, Wikitree, Connected Bloodlines etc. do not show Thomas and Anne as having a son named William among their nine children. Thomas's will (May 17, 1671) leaves bequests to his sons Isacke, Ephraim, Thomas and Samuel with no mention of a William. I've searched the net for a couple of days now, and I find nothing to support the assertion that William is a child of Thomas and Anne Little. Can someone help, please? What evidence do we have of a son William?

Sandra Fox You are correct. This Thomas Little has no known relationship with the Little family in Massachusetts, and it is uncertain what children, if any, he had.

I’ve disconnected from parents.

Thank you and Lloyd Alfred Doss, Jr. for bringing to attention.

Hello All,

I just wanted to confirm that Ann/Anne/Anna Warren and Thomas Little had no son named William. I have a copy of the "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations", Vol. 18, Part 1 published by the GSMD as my "proven" line (my dad's sister joined GSMD on a line from Richard Warren via daughter Ann and her husband Thomas Little through their daughter Hannah. This book covers down to the 4th generation of descendants, except for those of Hannah's sister Sarah who married John Cooke, a Mayflower passenger. Their descendants are covered in those books for descendants of Francis Cooke, John's father and also a Mayflower passenger. The fifth generations of Richard Warrens descendants, again except for those of Sarah's line, are covered in Parts 2 & 3. Part 1 lists 9 children for Thomas Little and Ann Warren. The only sons are the same as those in Sandra's original message, with the exception of the spelling of Isacke/Isaac. :)

I have found William Little's wife to be Francis Raynor as listed in the Virginia Land, Marriage Probate records, 1639-1850.
