Research Notes

Research needs to be done to see if the various Longs that married the various Kirklands were related (likely they were):

• Robert's sister Catherine Kirkland married James Long. It seems likely that James and Jane Long were siblings. Both James and Jane are believed to have been born in Tennessee.

There is a Henry Long (1764-1836) that was born in Virginia and died in Greene, Tennessee. I located a handwritten note pn p. 34 of a typed report entitled Genealogy of Ware Long of Culpepper that states that Ware Long had sons Nicholas and Henry who died in Greene County, Tennessee. On p. 35, the typed report states that Henry or his brother Nicholas married Margaret Turner, a sister of Sarah, wife of their brother Christopher. Henry accompanied his brothers John and Nicholas and settled in Kentucky or Tennessee (writer was not aware of which).Genealogy of Ware Long of Culpeper (Just located a Rev. War pension record that shows that Nicholas Long's wife's name was Margaret Darlene Athey Hill).
