Hey there... I am also researching the Long family. I am researching a William Stanhope Long 1852-1924. He was buried in Clear Creek, Mecklenburg Co., NC. I believe his parents were Jacob K. Long and Tabatha P. Polk. I also believe Jacob's parents were Jacob Green Long and Martha Simpson. They were in Cabarrus in 1850. I would love to hear from anyone researching these names below. Here are my direct line surnames: (You can see dates and connections on my website http://creeder.taylordata.com/) Reeder, Pressley, Baucom, Long, Estridge, Blackmon, Polk, Simpson (2), Medlin(2), Helms (3), Price (3), Presson, Ferguson, Lee, Ogburn, Rainwaters, Whitley, Williams (SC & NC), Keziah, Tom(b)erlin, Trull, Griffin, Mullis, Curlee, McCollum, Cagle, Robards, Morton -----Original Message----- From: Tarheel963@aol.com [mailto:Tarheel963@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, March 20, 1999 7:43 PM To: NCUNION-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [NCUNION-L] UNION COUNTY ADDRESS JERALD B LONG 8708 MCCARTNEY WAY CHARLOTTE, NC 28216 RESEARCHING LONG, HELM, RICHARDSON & BLYTHE THANKS ______________________________

I think there has been a misunderstanding about a message I send in reply to a message from Dale Deason. Dale was wanting everyone to resend the addresses because he lost his email. I have not had a problem with my email. If you have already send me your address, you don't need to send it again. If you would still like to send you mailing address and surnames being researched to be on file in the Heritage Room, you can still send it to randy@perigee.net with the subject: Union Co. Address. Please don't send the addresses to the Union Co. list. I will give you a few more days to get them in before I compile the list. Thanks Randy

Randy, here is my info once again. I certainly understand those computer glitches. They are wonderful machines, but when they decide to cause trouble, we are at their mercy!! Cynthia HOLL Porcher 300 Hobcaw Drive Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464 843 881-1911 I capitalized my maiden name because I have seen the HOLL name in some Union Co info. I believe there was a Mary HOLL. I would love to hear about her. The families I am researching in the Anson/Union county area are: HAMILTON BIVENS MARSH MASKE GRIFFIN JAMES BOGGAN BEAVER PIGG EVANS BLAKENEY HUNTLEY WATTS DIGGS Also the related lines. I have tried to research the connecting lines as well as the direct lines. Would love to share info. chp

Hi all, Would everyone mind sending their surnames again. I accidently deleted all your emails and would like to have the names again.
