Augustus was the sixth child of the twelve born to his parents. He married, but his wife divorced him.

"The celebrated Augustus Littlejohn, temperance lecturer, has recently been addressing the people of Eagleville, Wankesha
County, Wisconsin, on the virtues of temperance; he has also lectured at Rochester, Troy and Waterford in the same State." (Aug. 22, 1849, The Broome Republican of Binghamton, Broome County, New York)

"Rev. Augustus Littlejohn, the famous exhorter in this section 30 years ago recently applied for aid to the poormaster at Kalamazoo, Michigan." (March 3, 1887, The Cuba Patriot of Allegany County, New York)

"A Kalamazoo paper reports the death of Augustus Littlejohn, who was found dead outside the walls of the poor house a f«w nights ago. The event occurred during the prevalence of the extremely cold weather. Mr. Littlejohn was upwards of 80 years of age. Nearly fifty years ago this man was widely
known in this county [Livingston County, New York] as an evangelist. With a limited education he possessed to a remarkable degree that sort of native eloquence which gave magnetism to his words and made him one of the most popular orators of this section. His habit was to travel from town to
town, wherever he could obtain a hearing, and discourse upon temperance." (Feb. 10, 1888, The Livonia Gazette of Livingston County, New York)
