No known VT connections: family tradition say this doll was suppose to have belonged to Susan Little Church (Cleveland) who was born in 1796 in Lebanon, NH. She was a direct descendant of Moses Little for whom Littleton, NH was named. However, Susan died in 1823, about 60 years before this doll was made. It was likely owned by a later member of the same family.Acquisition
