Brumfield, Britton, Benjamin, Richard, Thomas, Lucy LONG, VA>KY>MO
William MOTHERSHEAD married Lucy LONG on 11 March 1788 in Culpepper County, VA (don't know who her parents were).
The KY Tax Lists and 1810 Warren County KY Federal Census shows William MOTHERSHEAD living in very close proximity to Richard, Benjamin, Brumfield, Britton and William LONG (and several BAKER families) from 1797 to at least 1817.
October 1809 in Warren County KY William MOTHERSHEAD was named Administrator of the Estate of Mary LONG (widow of Benjamin LONG); also in 1809, William MOTHERSHEAD was given a Power of Attorney from Brumfield LONG and Richard LONG to receive any monies, etc, due them in Counties of Culpepper and Orange, VA, as heirs of estate of Benjamin LONG, deceased and of his widow Mary LONG, deceased.
Bromfill LONG married Margaret MOTHERSHEAD, 1 Jan 1817, in Allen Co KY (Allen County was created from part of Warren County) ... My personal belief is Margaret was not born a MOTHERSHEAD, but is actually the widow of a son of William MOTHERSHEAD.
Around 1819 William MOTHERSHEAD (I don't know if Lucy was still alive at that point or not) moved his family to Jefferson County MO but Benjamin, Britton, Bromfield and William LONG were all still paying taxes on Bays Fork, KY.
Charles MOTHERSHEAD marries Susannah LONG in 1832 in Jefferson County MO.
In 1834 in Jefferson County MO, Whitaker MOTHERSHEAD (possibly a nephew of William MOTHERSHEAD) married Evaline/Ellen LONG - allegedly a daughter of Thomas LONG and possibly a sister to Susannah who married Charles.
Would appreciate any information at all on any of the above families!
Thanks, Jo Ann
