I came across a list for unclaimed civil war medals at the wv archives here are a list of the LONG's(unfortunately none were my relatives but I hope someone out there sees somebody in there family):
Long, Andrew J.; C; 13th Reg Inf Vols
Long, Archibald; I; 2nd Reg Cav Vols
Long, Floyd; H; 1st Reg Lt Art Vols
Long, Hugh; I; 4th Reg Inf Vols
Long, James; D; 12th Reg Inf Vols
Long, Perry L. G.; C; 17th Reg Inf Vols
In order to claim an ancestor's medal, a claimant must submit his or her line of descent from the veteran along with documentation to support this line of descent. To establish line of descent, claimants must include copies of primary sources, including birth, death, marriage, will, deed, military, census, Bible records, etc. Old letters, diaries, marriage announcements, or obituaries may also prove helpful in verifying a descendant's claim. Please note that a family chart submitted without further documentation is not sufficient.
If one of these men are your relatives go to this website to apply for the medal:
