Hi Jeremy, This is interesting for me as well. When I visited the Long Ranch Family Cemetery in the 1970s, I was intrigued by the tombstone for John Henry HAUB, as I hadn't heard his name before. Unfortunately, other than my own branch, I know very little about John LONG's descendants. My grandmother, Justena Ella LONG (1871 - 1946), was the daughter of John and his first wife, Mattie (Martha Frances) BRIANS (1855-1918). They were married in 1870 and divorced several years later. Like her father, my grandmother married twice. She and her first husband, Frank SEARLES, had two daughters, Ruby Ella (1889-1991) and Lenora (1893-1970); both daughters were born at the Long Ranch. Justena and her second husband, Frank S. KELLY, were the parents of Thelma (1910-1974). It's all convoluted, I think. I would appreciate knowing more about John's second family.

How interesting! I do not have the descendancy of his six children, perhaps you can fill me in. John LONG's younger brother was George Washington LONG (1860-1925). George married Mary Ellen DAVIS (1859-1940). One of their children was Winifred Lenore LONG (1894-1968). Winifred married John Henry HAUB (1888-1958). John was the son of Frederick H. HAUB (1853-1940) and Sarah Margaret OWENS (1859-1952). Sarah's older sister was Nancy Tabitha OWENS (1857-1960 - yes, age 103). Nancy married James Buchanan BROWN (1855-1925). James's youngest sister, Kittie Lavilla BROWN (1881-1936) was my maternal grandmother. Is that sufficiently convoluted?
