I happen to have a copy of The Big Sandy Valley by William Ely. Let me dig it out and see what it says about your DeLongs and the Auxiers. I'll get back to you sometime today. I don't have either surname in my direct line, but you'll find some in my extended tree. Lots and lots of Wards' too. (link to my website is below) My Johnson County families are Preston, Johnson, Meek(s), Leek, Webb and many others. ...Karen Karen Olson Ammon Surnames: Kidd, Bays/Bayes, Akers, Hall, Johnson, George, Webb KY Counties: Floyd, Johnson, Lawrence Karen's Kentucky Heritage website: _http://www.karenskyheritage.com_ (http://www.karenskyheritage.com/)
