Biography

Ann Pope (b. 12 Dec. 1761, d. 13 Oct. 1828), was was the daughter of Jesse McKinnie Pope and Mary (Fort) Pope of Hancock County, Georgia. (See Will of Jesse McKinnie Pope). She was married to Henry Long and had three children: Martha Randle, John Calvin Long and William Henry Long [Jr.].

It is believed that she married Henry Long after his service in the Revolutionary War as a County light horseman for the 10th N.C. Light Horse Regiment of North Carolina, Franklin County (formerly Bute County), under Benjamin Seawell. DAR #A071261. In 1788, Henry and Ann sold property left to them by Henry's mother, Prudence (Joyner) Long. (See bio of Prudence Long).

It appears that by 1793, Henry and Ann were living in Powelton, Hancock County Georgia, along with Ann's father and mother, Jesse McKinnie Pope and Mary (Fort) Pope, along with Matthew Rabun and Sarah (Warren) Rabun who in 1786 helped to establish the Powelton Baptist Church. [See Powelton Baptist Church notes attached herewith.]

They had three children, Martha Long (b. 1789), who married Peter Randle, the son of James Randle, John Calvin Long (b. 1793), who married Martha Jones, the daughter of Jacob Jones and Col. William Henry Long, a/k/a Henry Jr. (b. 1798), who married Susan Faucette Battle, the daughter of William Sumner Battle (1761-1827) .

In 1794, Henry Long is shown as a landowner on the tax list for Capt. Whitfields District, Hancock County, Georgia, owning 380 acres on Powell's Creek, near Powelton, Georgia. In 1807 he participated in the Georgia land lottery along with his father in law, Jesse McKinnie Pope. By 1812, he is shown to be living in Captain Connell's District in Hancock County, Georgia.

In 1853-4, Henry and Ann's two sons, John Calvin Long and Henry, Jr., filed a Revolutionary War pension application on behalf of their father, #R6427. In their application, John and Henry state that their father was formerly of Hancock County, Georgia, and that their mother was Ann Long. They also state that Ann Long was born on December 21, 1761 and that she died on October 13, 1828.Source: http://www.revwarapps.org/r6427.pdf

Based upon a family tree that was done in 1925 as well as the organizational minutes of the Powelton Baptist Church (see attached), it is believed Ann's first name may have been Mary and that she went by her middle name. In an Indenture filed in Halifax County, North Carolina, Henry's wife is identified as both Mary and Ann. (See Bio of Prudence Long) .
