We're given a clue in John Franklin's Findagrave:
"john was born to Tom Littlejohn and Mary Kelley Littlejohn and lived in the scurry -rosser area of kaufman tx., when he was 4 years old his mother passed...", so we can estimate Mary's death to (approx) 1882, keeping on the lookout for more / better documentation.
