General Notes: Husband - Peter Little

---

He obtained a patent, September 18, 1760, for 311 acres of land in Germany township, York (later Adams) County, on which he laid out the town of Petersburg, in 1765. According to the original plan it consisted of fifty-seven lots, 66x254 feet. Each purchaser was required to build a dwelling house eighteen feet square within three years. Although the deeds recited that it was to be called Petersburg forever, the German part of the population named it "Kleina Stedtle" from the outset, and it soon became known in English as "Peter Little's town." Then the name Peter was dropped, and the village took its present name of Littlestown. This confusion led to a blunder in Appleton's "Cyclopedia of American Biography," that has in it something of the irony of fate. Peter's Klein's son, Peter Little, of Maryland, being described as born at Petersburg, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania.
