William LITTLEJOHN (Charles⁴, Ignatius³, Charles², Marcellus¹) was born on October 10, 1833 in Spartanburg District, South Carolina. He moved to Union District with his parents and siblings in about 1840. In about 1849 he moved to Benton County, Alabama with his parents and siblings. He met a Georgia girl named Rebecca COCHRAN in Benton County. William and Rebecca were married on December 24, 1857 in Benton County. Rebecca was born about 1834 in Georgia. They had one child that I know of: Mary Jane LITTLEJOHN.

William enlisted May 27, 1862, at Oxford, Calhoun County, Alabama, in the Confederate Army for 3 years or the War. He was recruited by his uncle, Robert DRAPER, the Captain of a Company know as "The Dudley Snow Rangers". Dudley SNOW, a local pioneer, was instrumental in the Companies organization. The Company assembled and camped on Mr. SNOW's land while training. The regiment was organized at Oxford on August 11, 1862 as the 51^st Alabama Cavalry a Partisan Rangers unit. The regiment was commanded by Colonel John T. MORGAN of Dallas County, Alabama.

The regiment was ordered to Tennesse to join the Army of the Tennesse CSA. It was placed in the Brigade of Brigader General James HAGAN. HAGAN's brigade was in Brigader General Nathan B. FORREST'S Cavalry Corp of the Army of the Tennessee C.S.A. The Fifty-first arrived in the wake of BRAGG'S abortive offensive into Kentucky and experienced its first action on November 5, 1862 near La Vergne, Tennessee where they fought well in a Confederate victory.

William was captured on June 27, 1863 during the Battle of Shelbyville at Liberty Gap. He was held prisoner at Nashville until July 3 at which time he was transferred to a Military Prison near Louisville, Kentucky. On July 6 he was transferred to a Prisoner of War Camp in Ohio. He reached Camp Chase in Ohio the next day July 7, 1863. On July 14 they sent him to Fort Delaware. Fort Delaware was a mosquito-infested Prisoner of War Camp on a marshy piece of ground called Pea Patch island in the middle of the Delaware River. He arrived at Fort Delaware on July 20, 1863. All of the prisoner's clothing was taken from them and given a shirt and drawers of coarse texture. There were 12,500 prisoners on the island in August 1863. Sometime after arriving he contracted small pox and died October 29, 1863.

I do not know what came of Rebecca and Mary Jane. I suspect that Rebecca remarried and might very well have moved away.
