    1. Longs in Clermont County
    2. Hi, I am trying to find any information on the following Long's. Thanks, Rev. C David Long In the "History of Clermont Co. Ohio" which says on page 464:; Under Miami twp.: "The Long brothers Felix, John and Jacob settled on Horners Run (in Clermont Co, Ohio) soon after 1800. The first was a local Methodest preacher of much ability, although somewhat eccentric. One of his sons Moses yet resides (1880) in that locality. Not long after the Longs had settled Felix Motsinger (jr) their half brother, and his mother (Elizabeth) came from North Carolina, carrying their effects hither on horses which they rode. Motsinger served in the war of 1812, and on his return married a daughter of Garret Kramer a pioneer from Pennsylvania who also lived in this locality and settled at what is called Guinea, where he died in 1858....."
