Long's east TN, Rhea,Meigs, McMinn county areas, Bailey Peyton Long
Looking for father of (Bailey) Peyton Long who is recorded on 1850 census in Meigs County TN.He is living with what may be his mother or grandmother, Mary Long, and other children:
Caroline Long
William Long
Henry Long
I find the family again, during 1860 census, in Independence County Arkansas with what may be additional extended family:
Franklin Long
Mastin Long
Wiley R Long
Mary Long, listed both 1850 and 1860, is from North Carolina and other census reports show the father was also from North Carolina.Mary's age at the time of 1850 and 1860 is not clear.1850 shows she was 63 and 1860 shows she was 64.I could be a different Mary but seems strange she is among all the same family members at both locatons so I suspect she either mistated her age or the recorder made a mistake.Based on her age, she could have been 28 or 38 at the time of marriage so I suspect this was a 2nd marriage for the father and perhaps herself.
