Author: michaelfcalhoun Surnames: Bullen, Kennedy Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.cherokee/2715/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I've only recently begun researching my Bullen family, and have lots of questions, and would love some help, please! I've been confused by the Cherokee censuses. When it listed Waterloo, I thought that was the town up by Pickwick Dam ... Where is Waterloo in Cherokee County? I'm just down in Coweta County, Georgia, and had no idea I was so close ... Road Trip! But first, I need to know where I'm going, so would love some info on just where is Waterloo? lol My grandfather was Arthur Lee Bullen, son of John Columbus in Oliver Springs, TN. I found on the census for 1900 that Granddaddy and his brother lived in Waterloo at that time. His brother was William T. Bullen, who was married to Alice Kennedy. I found that her father was a brother to Frances Dorothy Josephine Kennedy Bullen, wife of Samuel Jefferson Bullen, son of William Carroll Bullen and Elleanor. William Carroll was a son of Isaac Bullen back in Roane County, Tennessee, and older brother of John Columbus Bullen. I've read a wonderful story online about Wiiliam Carroll and his wife and a trip he had to take to bring her back to Alabama from up north, and that their surviving son was a twin. Does anyone have any information on why William Carroll moved down to Cherokee from Roane County in the first place?

Author: Gerald_Hodge Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.cherokee/2711.5.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Sir or Ma'am, I'm tracking the same material that you have found. I currently am not convinced that his middle initial is "A." I want to see some court papers and/or other documentation noting this. The problem with the "A." as a middle initial is that they're several John A.'s in the various counties in the area. This guy went began his murdering career in 1864 so I tend to lean away from a sixteen year old being so violent at such an early age. "Long was a native of the Cove; he was not, however, related to the Longs in the lower part of Chattanooga Valley." This statement, if true, would knock out at least two and this would include the twelve year old in 1860. This Long family location is actually shown in the Atlas for the Official Records. HOWEVER, the family could be lying to deflect later criticism of the family. Even today, many people do not want to talk about home front Appalachia and the bloody conflict were murders took place years after the war. Many want to present the South as a united front were everyone rushed to volunteer and everyone marched dauntless into battle but nothing could be further from the truth. McClemore's Cove had huge issues during the war. I researched some of it for my master's thesis and will cover it more indepth in the regimental history that I am writing. This little venture on John Long is just one of many thus far. I looked at the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Federal Census for John Long. A John W. Long pops up in 1870 that would be in the age window. There are lots of John Long's in the surrounding counties; Bradley, McMinn, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia. I saw the Compiled Service Record for Alexander Long. He deserted in February 1864 and there is no further record. In contrast, there is a Brevell Long in the same company and there are records beyond that point for him. Therefore, I tend to believe that Alexander (if it were John) was not honorably discharged as stated by Bullock. Enough for now. Thank you for your assistance. I will continue to dig.

Author: ltate29 Surnames: Long Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.alabama.counties.cherokee/2711.7/mb.ashx Message Board Post: In regard to my last response in which information was given about John A. Long having served in the 11th Tennessee Union Calvary, I checked the National Park Service's online database Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System for John Long in that unit and could not find him, although there were three Longs in the unit: Alexander, Bruce E., and Josiah. Since John's middle initial is A., the Alexander Long may be him. If so, he entered as Pvt in Co. H, however there was no rank given when he left the unit although it should be stated the unit was consolidated into another unit and he may have been discharged from the latter. The CWSS shows that there were some John Longs in other Tennessee Union Calvary units.
