From a letter written by the child of Robert Long and Margaret Mounts:

"I told you before that Father taught several terms of school at Amsterdam and lived with the Arwick's and charged[?] for his board. They lived where your parents did when we left there. Mrs. Arwick was a cousin of Grandfather Long, a Martin before marriage. All the Martins in Harrison Co. are my relation. My great grandmother Long was a Martin.

Well the Arwicks had lots of work. She dyed and wove and he had a river job. So Father saw that these children was in need of a good home and schooling so he got his cousin to take our Aunt Sarah as one of her family. She was going to school to Pa - she took sick at school and went to aunts and never got away. Only lived a few days (Dear old Pa it was just like him.) He saw Aunt and Uncle were not able to take care of her. He paid all expense gave her a good burial just because she was one of his school. There is how he and mother met."
