This institution of learning was erected on part of a tract of land once owned by Isaac Litton. He was the grandfather of Litton Hickman, Judge of Davidson County from 1918 to 1950. Named in honor of both, the school formally opened on October 25, 1930. In 1954, a junior high school facility was added to the campus. Administratively separated in 1966, the high school was phased out in 1971. Through its achievements in the areas of athletics and scholarship and its devoted graduates, Isaac Litton High School earned a significant place in the educational history of Davidson County.

Example

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
