Moses Little commanded the men from Newbury, Mass., who went to the siege of Louisburg in 1758. He was Colonel of a regiment at Bunker Hill and of another at the battle of Long Island. In 1777 he left the army on account of ill health. In 1781 he received an attack of paralysis which destroyed his power of speech. Col. Little was one of the largest land owners in New England. He was surveyor of the King's land and acquired large domains in Maine and New Hampshire. He made a large purchase of land in the town of Apthorp, N. H., which was divided into Littleton and Dalton, the former being named for him. He also became the owner of a large part of what is now Androscoggin County, Maine. By his influence with Governor Wentworth, he greatly aided Bayley and Hazen in their efforts to obtain the charters of Newbury and Haverhill, and was a grantee of this town, his right, and one purchased by him of Peter Page, and that of his brother, Stephen, now being part of the Baldwin farm on the upper meadow. It is not believed that heever made his residence in Newbury, but he spent much time here, and from here directed his land operations in the north country. On the earlier land records of Newbury, his name appears more frequently as grantee of land than any other. He was b. and d. in "Old Newbury," Mass. Moses and Abigail Little had 11 c., and descendants of three of them, Josiah, Abigail and Elizabeth, have lived in thistown. The latter m. as 2d husband, William Wigglesworth, and their son, Samuel, was father of Mrs. Edward Hale. Abigail, b. Apr. 2, 1749; m. Capt. John G. Bayley, q. v. Moses Little d. May 27, 1798.

He was interested in this town and it was quite common for him to select steady young men from Newbury to go to Newburyport and work for him. He d. Feb. 5, 1860.
LOCKHEAD.
Mention is asked for this family, but little is really known about them. John Lockhead came from Scotland to Ryegate, then bought the farm where Mrs. V. N. Daniels now lives.

He belonged to several musical associations and was an active Mason. The c. were John, jr., and two daus., who were all teachers, intelligent people, and fine singers. About 1855, Mrs. Lockhead d., and the family went west. It is understood that none of the c. were m. and are all d.
