Hi.I'm totally intriqued with your data.
I have an Elizabeth LONG b abt 1827 NC md. (1) THOMPSON, had several children, lived in 1850 Union Co. GA with her father James LONG and Uly CANSLER (her mom).left by 1860, returned to Fannin Co. GA 1870 with more children, appearing as THOMPSON children but who knows.What is more intriguing is a dau. of Elizabeth is named as marrying Columbus FORTNER.I believe I found Columbus in 1850 Polk or monroe Co. TN living with father Cornelius FORNAR/FORNER (was the spelling).What is even more intriguing is that the FORTNERs are related to the CANSLER or LONG line earlier. I'll have to dig that out. They came out of Burke Co./Linc. Co. NC region to GA.
