and died May 18, 1816 in Fairfield Co, SC1. He married
CHARITY1. She was born Bet. 1765 - 17741.

This information furnished by Lee AC.

Census records show James Long, Sr. born before 1755.
James father would be John Long, Sr. of the 1790 censuss. I
assume Fairfield Co, SC. Lee Ann says I don't know when
the Longs came to SC but they received land in 1772. All
the family except Izett & James jr, moved to Limestone Co,
AL in 1818.

2. WILLIAM D. ALBERT M.3 LONG (JAMES2,
JOHN1)2,3 was born March 08, 1810 in Fairfield Co, SC3,
and died January 8, 1863 in Kaufman Co, TX3. He married
NANCY LUCY ALBRIGHT3 Abt. 1830 in Fayette Co,
TN3. She was born June 30, 18133, and died December 07,
1882 in Belton Co, TX?3.

Notes for WILLIAM D. ALBERT M. LONG:
[Bobby Howard3.FTW]

According to Kaufman History, Vol 11, 1984, published by
Kaufman Co Historical Commission. William was a
Medical Doctor. He was murdered Jan. 18, 1863 by
unknown persons who shot him with a hunting arrow (Not
Indian-he fought off his attackers, according to the Inquest
and it was determined by shoe prints that it was white men
who killed him, also there were no Indian problems here
after 1850)

He was shot in the back while he was feeding his livestock.
His probate is filed in Kaufman Co, TX, he is buried in Fox
Cemetery, Kaufman Co., TX. Kaufman History says he
had 15 children.

The following was furnished by M. Ritchie:
This could be the William D Long who was granted a 2nd
class headright, #195, emigrated to Texas July 1837 as a
married man, tax lists 1839, 1840, Francis Long, agent for
in 1845, 1846 poll list. Source "Nacogdoches-Gateway to
Texas" vol 1, revised, a biographical directory 1773-1849.
byfd Ericson, Republic of Texas Second Class Headrights
March 2, 1836 -Oct. 1, 1837,ed Alma Nettie Wilson Barnes,
compiled by Benjamin F Purl 1904, gives the following :

Long, Wm D, Certificate 195, 640 acres, Land Dist:
Nacogdoches, Located in Cherokee, File #214

"Nacogdoches Headrights" Carolyn Reeves Ericson, gives
the following for the same grant. July 1837, William D
Long, certificate #195, 1280 acres, witnesses Geo W Long
and John Long. Also grant #38, under "Misc grants", says
this. "W D Long, Old Cert #195 issued 3 Aug 1838 for 1280
Acres, 2nd Class issued 14 Aug 1841, Witnesses: A. Sterne
& T. J. Rusk". These two characters would be Adolphus K
Sterne and Thomas J Rusk, early Texas pioneers.

There was a William D Long who is in Nacogdoches Co, in
1840 (In 1843, Rusk County was created from
Nacogdoches Co.) He owned 4 slaves and 12 cattle. The
1840 census of the Republic of Texas, ed. Gifford White,
1966, The Pemberton Press, Austin.

Republic of Texas Poll Lists for 1846 by Marion Day
Mullins, Baltimore, Genealogical Publishing Co, William
D Long living in Nacogdoches Co.

1860 Rusk Co census, shows that he is a farmer and owns
$1500 (Value in 2001 31, 878) in real estate and $5000
(Value in 2001 same as $106,262) in personal property.
Children living with him are, G. W. 23 (m), J. E. 20,(f) A.
T. W. 18 (m), Robert 15, Edward 11, Melissa 10, Mary 8,
Jacob 6, S. H., 4 (no sex given), Charity Long Berry 22,
Margaret Berry 4.He is also living next door to James N
and John A Long in this census.

Probate of William D Long: Researched by Kathey Hunt

1. On none of the papers in the packet, nor in any of the
handwritten records in the minutes, is W D Long's actual
death date given. in one record it says "Long, dec'd who
departed this life prior to 1865 in said county of Kaufman
Texas..." also See the TRANSCRIPTION BELOW which
has info on the date of death that is left blank in an
affidavit as if No one was really certain when he died....

2. Probate Minutes record Book #1 pg 336

Nancy long on 28 Sep 1867 makes application for probate
on W D Long's estate, requesting she be appointed as
Executrix /Asministrtator of the estate, stating that W D
long died Intestate. (no will) & that he had no Real
property. She swears & signs a Statement that there is 320
acres of land which is the ONLY Community Real
property, along with their household goods, but no other
property which belonged to W D Long.

However, on the same date 2 Appraisers for the Court
appeared and stated that W S Long had 640 acres of land
within Kaufman Co. these men were Henry Spurgeon &
Thomas Stayhorn. Because of this Nancy Long's request to
be made Executrix is denied & Henry Spurgeon is
appointed Administrator with Strayhorn as Suretor.
**There is a Document I sent you which also states this **It
appears that she waited this long to probate the estate
thinking it would deter any action which might come
forward against the estate (a very common practice back
then) However, in this case
I believe Long was too well known and his assets were also
well-known by his peers.

3. Probate Min Bk 1, pg 371

Dated June term 1867 after an affidavit from Mr Spurgeon
suggests that there may be other Real property belonging to
W D Long's eststate in RUSK CO TX The court
appoints 3 men to travel there & Investigate the allegation -
they are Cassidy Sanders, James Draper Sr & John
Wherry.

4.
Probate Min Bk 1, pge 383
Nancy Long again asks permission from the court to be
appointed Executrix of the estate & she is denied. She
requests permission to liquidate some real property in
Kaufman County stating that she is destitute & she is
denied that request until full appraisal of ALL W D Long's
holdings are reported by the 3 Suretors. Also on this
page is a full Inventory of the Personal property of W D
Long, made by Spurgeoon, which was made in case the
estate had to be liquidated.

5. Probate Misc Minutes Bk 1, pg 417 Term Spring-1869
The Suretors report to the Court that W D Long holds title
in Rusk Co TX to: 1276 Acres of land in one parcel
243 acres of land in a second parcel 20 acres of land in a
third parcel. All Clear title with no Debts owed in that
county against said estate.

6. Probate Misc Bk 1, pg 465
Fall Term 1871
Court concedes that there are no debts owed by the estate
of W D Long & all property s reverted into the holdings of
Nancy Long.

The probate confirms the land in Rusk Co that M. Ritchie
was reporting.

[Bobby Howard3.FTW]

According to Kaufman History, Vol 11, 1984, published by

Albrights were from Germany. They came to the Texas
Republic or what was then Old Mexico in 1835. John
Albright was killed and scalped by Indians soon after
coming to what we now know as Houston Co, TX His wife
Eliza Reitzell died bet 1840 and 1850 in Houston Co. Nancy

OH , here's a good one...seems bad times with
the law followed the Longs
somewhat...I found where Jacob "Jake" Long
stood trial for murder...and in the
news story there is mention that his brother,
Robert Long, was an accomplice.
Jacob was acquitted & no charges were ever
filed on Robert that I can find.
They were accused of killing a man named
Willingham / Wallingham in Terrell in
1874, but Jacob was acquitted in 1881.Seems it
took them awhile to get him back to Kaufman
Co --he was in Jack Co & everyone was afraid
to go out there after him because of the Indians!
From what I have here, he went back to Jack
Co, too.

Notes for ROBERT ALBERT CLAUDE LONG:

Info Taken from 1880 Kaufman Co, TX Census and book
History of Kaufman County at Wichita Falls, TX Library.
Death and burial info taken off Confederate

The pension application states the following: I was 62 years
old Feb 22, 1907. I reside in Kaufman Co ever since 1860. I
drive a wagon and have a cripple arm, weak eyes and
diseased Jaw Bone. I enlisted in Confederate army 1863
and was discharged 1865. I was in Capt. Wills Co A A.W.
Terrells Regit 34th Texas Cavalry. I enlisted in Galveston,
TX. I own one cow and one mule. The cow is worth 25.00
and the Mule is worth 75.00. I have sold one mule which
brought me 70.00. The application is dated June 19, 1907.

Notes for Robert Albert Claude Long:

Note: Robert and Sarah and their family are enumerated
twice in 1880. I'm not sure which was done first and which
second. I have the original census for Kaufman Co but not
Wise Co. Evidently Robert and family went to Wise Co to
be with brother, Edward D. in 1880. The children’s ages
vary somewhat, but all names and birth places
are identical.

Individual source: name from 1860 Rusk Co TX census.

"Long, Robert A.C., pvt: enl Prairieville 15 Dec 1862
[K1870-235 Robert Long, 25, TX, Farmer; Tex Pen 12946]"

This is probably also the same R. A. Long who, along with
G. W. Cariker, witnesses Louisa Sealy Freeman's
application for a widow's Confederate pension on 4 Sept.
1909. Robert A. Long, Confederate Service, Book:
Terrell’s Texas Cavalry, By John W. Spencer

In this book R. A. Long is shown as being in Company A.
Also shown as being in Co. A are T. F. Dickey (Thomas F.
Dickey) and J. A. Carlisle (John A. Carlisle). These two
men are listed as witness on Robert Long’s application for
pension. The book says R. A. Long enlisted at Kaufman,
TX on Aug. 5, 1863. The two men on the pension
application say he enlisted at Galveston, TX. T. F. Dickey is
shown as enlisting on Dec. 15, 1862 at Prairieville, TX and
J. A. Carlisle enlisted on Dec. 1, 1863 at Prairieville, TX.

This above information was taken from the only known
Muster Roll taken on Feb. 29, 1864. (According to the
book)

The following sketch of Company A is in the book:
Company A consisted of men mainly from Prairieville, TX
and a few from Kaufman and Canton. These were men
primarily of Norwegian descent, Six foot, four inch Israel
Spikes was the original captain, being elected on Dec. 15,
1862, when the company was formed. Spikes resigned
about a year later and William G. Hill became
captain.(This is the captain that R. A. Long mentions in his
Pension Application)

The discipline, instruction, arms and clothing of Company
A were rated as good on the February 29, 1864 company
report. Military appearance was shown as only fair, and
accouterments as good, but without bayonet scabbards.

At the disbandment in May, 1865 at Wild Cat Crossing on
the Trinity River these men were only a short distance from
home. Many of the men moved to the Clifton, TX, area
after the war and started new home and lives.

They were in the battle at Mansfield, Louisiana or Sabine
Cross Roads. April 8, 1864 Today that is the location of
Mansfield Battlefield Park and Museum. The were also in a
battle at Pleasant Hill, LA. From birth certificate of son,
George Albert Long, he is farming near Corsicana, TX in
1888.

Information furnished by Kathey Hunt:

OH , here's a good one...seems bad times with the law
followed the Longs somewhat...I found where Jacob "Jake"
Long stood trial for murder...and in the news story there is
mention that his brother, Robert Long, was an accomplice.
Jacob was acquitted & no charges were ever filed on
Robert that I can find.

They were accused of killing a man named Willingham /
Wallingham in Terrell in 1874, but Jacob was acquitted in
1881.Seems it took them awhile to get him back to
Kaufman Co --he was in Jack Co & everyone was afraid to
go out there after him because of the Indians! From what I
have here, he went back to Jack Co, too.

Death date from Cemetery listings

Following Info from Mark’s Notes:
According to note in Ruby's handwriting, J. A. Long was
Sheriff of Freestone County.

Appears in 1860 Rusk County Census (book by Dunn), next
door to W. D. Long.
He owns $1000 in property, lives with wife Sarah and
children W. W. and John.

Appears in 1870 Kaufman County Census, dwelling #445,
age 35, White, physician, $4000 personal property, born
Tennessee, with wife Sarah J.,31, keeping house,
born Mississippi, children William, 15, John R., 12, James
C., 10, George T., 4 and Edward A., 1. Children all born in
Texas.

But in 1880 he is gone from the census, and Sarah J. is
living alone.

VERY interesting note on the 1870 census: Next door to
John in 1870, and to his widow in 1880, is a Black family of
Henry Long, wife Jane, children Nellie, Rinda (Marinda,
1880), Alexander (Ector 1880), and Susannah. Are these
some former Long slaves? We know that William D.
Long, John's father owned slaves at one time.
