I have a Mary E. Cansler m. to Young Long but not sure of my facts. Does anyone researching Cansler have better info? She was b. 1852 and He. b. 1844. She was prob. his second wife. Also have seen that he was m. to Susan Mary Hamilton with who he had many children and Pricilla Gilkey. Can any other researchers shed any light on this for me. All appeared to be in the Crofton Ky. area. Thanks, Mimi
I think Priscilla Gilkey was married to another Young Long. As impossible as it might seem. Everything I have seen on her has them married in 1835. This is 6 years before the Young Long that married Susan Mary Hamilton was born. His parents, I believe were John and Susan Caltman Long. Possibly the Young Long that was married to Priscilla Gilkey was an uncle or something close to that. I do believe that 'our' Young Long was married more than one. Whether she was a Cansler or an Eli is not clear. She also could have been one and married the other before she married Young Long. I hope that is clear? (She might have been a Cansler and married and Eli first or the other way around.) Anyway, I have a son, Clyde Ernest Long that was born in 1897 and married Edna Lantrip born in 1904 and married in 1921. I am pretty sure his mother is not May Susan Hamilton as I was originally told. So we have a mystery.
