Jo Anne,
Thank you so much for replying to my query about Sarepta Chaudoin Little. Your information helped a great deal. I'm of some belief (fueled by several of my older relatives) that Sarepta's mother was Cherokee or of Cherokee descent. Sarepta's father, James Chaudoin, was of French Huegenot lineage. Sarepta's first child, a boy, was James Newton Little and he was my paternal great grandfather. I will continue to try to find her mother and will now focus my attention on Cherokee Co., AL as the place the marriage took place. Thanks again. Leslie Bean

RE:Sarepta C. Chaudoin Little
Sarepta is listed on the 1850 Alabama Census as living with her sister Emily Jane Chaudoin Standefer, Franklin H. Standefer was head of household.
F. H. Standefer/age 35/m/farmer/$2000., b TN
Emily Jane/age 26/ f/b.TN
William A. C. / age 5/m/b AL
Mary C./ age 3/ f/b AL
Sarepta C. Chaudoin/age 17/$800/b TN (could be age 19)
This was in Cherokee County, AL ...Her first son was born in 1851; therefore must have married in Cherokee Co. in 1850
NOTE: On some later records Standefer was spelled as Standifer.

When at the cemetery 18 months ago I found Sarepta's stone broken off of it's base. I took several pictures of the stone (either my aunt or I took turns holding the stone up). We never found the base and I am in the process of trying to figure out where exactly Sarepta is buried in the Mt. Bethel cemetery. I would like to have the stone fixed or redone and properly placed.
I believe her husband William was killed on May 2 or 3, 1863 at Chancellorsville, VA. He was a Private in the 3rd Georgia Regt. enlisting across the Cherokee County line in Chattooga County, Georgia. He isn't buried at Mt. Bethel but Sarepta and Wm.'s youngest child William & his wife are. Their stone is standing as is James Newton Little's marker. James Newton was my greatgrandfather.
I will be happy to send pictures or other information to anyone who is interested. Right now I'm on the path of trying to determine Sarepta's mother's name and the date and place of Sarepta and William's marriage. Thanks. Leslie Bean

Does anyone know where William Little is buried. Next to the grave of Sarepta Little is the base of a marker the same size as the one for Sarepta's marker. However the top part is missing. The top of Sarepta's was not attached to the base. Just wondered if it is Williams grave and someone has either taken the top or it was broken and disposed of.

Leslie, I have always heard that Sarepta came to live with Emily, my gggrandmother, in Cherokke or Dekalb County. I would say it's a good chance that they were married in one of these counties. I have a picture of Lizzie Little and from the grave markers at Mt. Bethel Cemetary in Cherokee County, it appears that this would be a daughter in law to Sarepta. I too have always heard that our "indian blood" came from the Shadowens. I don't have any record of their mother. Some say Anne Rankin but I just don't know!

My gggrandmother was Sarepta Carolyn Chaudoin, born 10-31-1831 in Marion County, Tennessee. Her father was James C. Chaudoin and her paternal grandfather David Chaudoin. Sarepta married William H. Little and they lived in Cherokee County, Alabama. William was killed in early May of 1863 at Chancellorsville, VA. Sarepta and her children are listed alone on the Cherokee Co., AL 1870 & 1880 censes records.
Sarepta had 2 brothers, David Franklin and Calvin Morgan. She had 4 sisters, Martha, Emily, Louisa and Mary. I am seeking information on the place and date of her marriage to William, and would like to find the name of her mother. Family lore seems to believe Sarepta's mother was Cherokee. Would appreciate help from anyone. Thanks.
