1 Wootton Bassett Wilts Parish Registers, Baptisms. The Register incorrectly shows Esther's (Hester's) mother's name as Mary. This is an understandable error inasmuch as another Robert Little (1746-1818) and his wife Mary were having children at a time which overlapped the family of Robert Little and Anne. The identity of Esther/Hester's mother is implied in her father's Will inasmuch as the names of her siblings are shown in the Register as children of Robert Little and Anne. As such, Esther was Robert's and Anne's eldest-born child.
