Per the 1860 PA Census (Landisville, East Hempstead Township):
Samuel Little, age 66, a farm laborer, born in PA

Calvin Little, age 22, farm laborer, born in PA

My note: I do not at this point know who the 2 children are or what the relationship is.
The Lancaster Daily Intelligencer of Aug. 29, 1889 mentions Elizabeth Applebach very casually in an article "A Stable Destroyed" about a barn fire. Apparently Abraham and Elizabeth were renting a barn at 761 N. Lime St, Lancaster and it caught fire - and over $300 worth of bundled rags were destroyed. The article goes on to say that it might have been set by a tramp who was turned away without a meal earlier.
