George Little (South Carolina)
- George Little (South Carolina)
George Little (or Liddle) was an officer in the 3rd South Carolina Regiment during the American Revolutionary War. He was captured 12 May 1780 at Charleston when the entire contingent at Charleston was surrendered to the British. He was wounded in a skirmish against Banstre Tarleton's cavalry, the Green Legion. The musket ball which lodged in his hip was never removed, and he remained a cripple all his life.
His first wife was Mary and he remarried his son’s mother in law, Mary Hadley, a widow from Scotland who also had grown children.
