Joseph LITHERLAND

Notes:

Died:
The dark still voice of death hovered over the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Litherland and called from our midst a devoted christian and a loving neighbor, a kind friend and a highly respected citizen.

Uncle Joe as he was commonly called was admired and loved by both old and young and he was the means of influencing many to be christians.

Uncle Joe was a devoted christian having been truly in the service of the Master full fifty years. He united with the U.B. church at Nye chapel when quite young and will be greatly missed in the church where he attended regularly and worked faithfully. He has passed through many trials and tribulations but has conquered and won victory.

Joseph Litherland, son of Wm. and Susan Litherland was born in Perry county, Indiana, November 12, 1845, and departed this life June 19, 1921, aged 75 years 7 months and 7 days.

6-23-1921

William married Susan A. DeWitt HALL on 6 Oct 1844 in Perry Co, IN. Susan was born on 7 Jul 1827 in Hardin Co, KY; died on 10 Oct 1909 in Wabash Co, IL. [Group Sheet]

James Litherland, Sr.

Notes for James Litherland Sr.
James Litherland married Nancy Barnhill March 16,1806 in Henry County
Kentucky. In the 1810 census,
he and his family (wife and children under the age of ten) were located
in Jefferson County Kentucky.
Before the next census in 1820 he moved to Clark County,Indiana and later
to Perry County Indiana.
He was a Justice of the Peace in Perry County at one time. Most of his
children and there families
relocated in Wabash County Illinois. He died in Perry County . There are
two death dates given for him:
November 18,1841 and October 06,1844.
One researcher indicated that he married a Nancy Pryor. The documented
marriage shows Nancy Barnhill. It is possible that Nancy Pryor married a
Barnhill before marrying James in 1806.
"Pryors" as well as "Barnhills" were located in Henry County and
Jefferson County during that period.
The spelling of "Latherland" was found in 1830 and 1840 census records
for members of James`s family.
According to Jan Melissa Litherland,Jonathan, George, Abner, William, and
Thomas sons of James Litherland Sr. migrated to Illinois.

James married Nancy Pryor BARNHILL on 16 Mar 1806 in Henry Co, KY. [Group Sheet]

John married Mary. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The Litherland name took on many spellings in the Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois area: Leatherland, Letherland, Litherland, Leitherland,
Latherland. Generally, the individuals were not literate neither reading
or writing. The resulting spelling in tax records or census reflected how
the the recorder heard
the name being pronounced. By the late 1800`S the spelling of
"Litherland"seems to have become the
accepted form for this particular family.
