*************************

From HIstory of Allegany County pg 80
The father, John Littlejohn, was born in Harper's Ferry, Virginia, and came to
Michigan with his parents in pioneer times. The grandfather was P. O.
Littlejohn, a son of Colonel John Littlejohn, who was born at Martha's Vineyard,
Massachusetts, Oct 10, 1790. He acquired an academic education, and before he
attained his majority had gained considerable reputation as a teacher in the
district schools of his native place. After the outbreak of the war of 1812 he
offered himself as a volunteer defender of the Union and was commissioned
lieutenant. He was wounded at the famous battle of Lundy Lane, and was commended
for his bravery by General Scott, the commanding officer. Following the close of
hostilities he engaged actively in business, being connected with the
construction of the Erie canal and successfully executing large contracts and
winning an enviable name for integrity, honesty and upright character. To him
belongs the credit of building the most difficult link in the first important
railroad in this country -- the inclined plane between Albany and Schenectady,
New York. He was also conspicious in the building of the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad and the James river and Kanawha canal. About the year 1840 he removed
to Allegan, where he invested considerable capital, taking up the work of
developing the resources of this place with his customary energy and enterprise.
One of the commendable results of his business capacity and dilegence was the
building of the first flour mill of considerable size in the country. Impaired
health, however, obliged him to live retired from active business during the
last decade of his life and he passed away while on a visit in Omaha in January,
1868. Colonel Littlejohn was twice married. He first wedded Miss Amy Dewey, who
died seven years later, and in 1823 he wedded Miss Eleanor Newkirk, of
Montgomery county, New York, where she was born November 23, 1799. She lived to
an advanced age.
