Thank you so much for another lead.
In my research this past year, I found I had some wrong information and have learned some
new information.
Harry Oliver Long is my grandfather. He was born 30 Dec 1868, North Vernon, IN.
His father was John Long. He was born 18 February 1841, Madison, Jefferson County, IN.
He married Martha Elizabeth Wise in Jennings County, IN. She was born and raised in
Jennings County, IN. Her father was Henry Wise, who is another dead-end on that line for
me. Martha's mother was Nancy Ann Shields, who was a daughter of "Colonel"
James Shield's first marriage to Sarah McCausand.
John's father was Nicholas Long, born either in France or Germany. He applied for
naturalization in Jefferson County in 1839/40, according so information I found on
internet.
John's mother was Magdalene Hill, born either in France or Germany, I think.
I will see if I can search for the parents of the Jane Long you mentioned to see if they
are related.
My dead ends are (l) the parents of Henry Wise, born 1822 in Kentucky, died in the Civil
War in 1863 in the Chicamauga Battle, and
(2) Nicholas Long & Magdalena Hill
If this blends in with anything you have I would so appreciate hearing about it from you.
Thanks so much. Happy hunting for family ancestors!
