1870

Family # 1

For all practical purposes, the Abner Long family has disappeard off the Stone County census in 1870. Abner, and his eldest son, Joseph are dead. Polly has taken at least one grandchild to Illinois in 1865, and has since died by 1868.
#10101 John Henry Long can be found in Phelp County, Missouri living with Marquis Hull family in the 1870 census. In 1889, Thomas Mexwell was appointed guardian, and Hardy Harp and Amanda Jane Harp testified to his prents. I believe this is #106 Amanda.
#107 Marcellus Henry Long - according to his pension papers, he is living in 1870 in Franklin, MO, then Lebanon, then Springfield, then Maple, AR.
#102 John P Long - a John P Long testifies in 1889 that he was present when Joseph Calvin Long #101 married Elizabeth Retina Bobbitt. His military records show his middle initial was P.
#103 William "Bun" Long - see later for legends about Bun.

This may imply that Joseph moved his family from Carroll to Stone shorty after this census was taken - They will all appear in the 1880 census as residing in Stone
