Indiana)I have been able to find lots of information on Abram but after him it gets very sketchy. I have almost hit a dead end. Abram's father Strawder W. Long born 1808 in Indiana. Married to Amanda Mary Means, they had a lot of children of which Abram is the first born. Strawder's father is Abraham Long born in 1774 in Virgina, and his father we know nothing about except that he fought in the Rev. War. Any help will be greatly appreciated. If you need information from me just reply, I check my email many times a day. Good Day, Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
