Long's in Va. Tn. & Ark.
The Long DNA project results matches 3, that is correct with out a doubt. However, the documentation of the Edward Long they suggest is proof, isn't anymore proof than the written records the Rev. George W. Long 1 family has had for many many years on his father, John. It has been recorded by many of the family (long before the books came out) that it was John and the record was recorded in the Maples Long family Bible, seen by family, and passed down through the generations. The Bible was lost during the Civil War when the Long family home was burned to the ground. Maples Long was the son of Rev.George W. Long 1.
Maples Long had 15 children, two being Baptist Ministers,
Rev. George Long 111 and Rev. Robert H. Long.
They as well as all of their sibblings had recorded and told the story about their great grandparents, John and Mary Long. They had seen the records in their father's Bible all of their life. Maples sibblings had recorded and told the stories to their branches also. Maples and his family had lived in the old homeplace of his father, which was built by his grandfather, John Long. Books written long ago about John Long,also a 100 year old family member recounting and recording the name John in a article upon his retirement at the age of 100 which was published in the local newsaper. Also several extended families writing books concerning George Long and family.The Edward Long line has one phamplet that mentions a George Long, with the writer thinking about an uncle who was he thought to be a preacher in Tn.?The Will of the Edward Long doesn't mention a son named George? This is another opinion from a family member and long time researcher, Phyllis 'Long' Rhodes. Thank you.
GGG Granddaughter of Rev.George W. Long 1 and Nancy 'Elizabeth' Long.
