Grandfather was Calvin and all of these also show on a census. Calvin had 4 daughters, one of which was my mother. While I've not gone further back, I believe it is possible to keep going. There were plenty of Wells and Longs in this area! And, yes, Kirksmanville is in Todd County. Used to have a movie theatre, post office and more. Now it's got about 90 people and a couple of grocery stores. Mike
