My Long's originally came from Germany and settled in North Carolina.My 3 great grandfather was born in North Carolina and moved to Illinois where he remained until his death. .My great-great grandfather, Willis Long, was born in Illinois in 1862 and moved to Missouri, spent a couple of years in Kansas around the 1890s and then back to Missouri. I didn't see where any my Long's were from Virginia, of course that doesn't mean that one of my Longs had moved to Virgina many many years ago. I may not need the 1900 census information.I did find the information on my great grandfather Frank Declue. Although I could not find him on a census I do have marriage and death records which puts him in Jasper County. I am; however, trying to locate his father, Richard Declue/Duclos. He died in Jasper County somewhere between 1893 and 1900 but I can't locate any information on him. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Candy
