The 1870 census-Vermillion Co., Indiana lists Henry Longfellow and wife Mary (Fortner) as being born in Ohio. Have reference to other Fortner's in Ross Co. but this is the first mention of Longfellow's in Ohio. Have not found Longfellow in the 1860 census in Vermillion Co. as of today. Henry Longfellow was born in 1815 and Mary Fortner Longfellow was born in 1820. Children: Henry, Martha, Emiline, Caroline, Stephen and Nancy are listed in 1860. Stephen Longfellow was my ggggrandfather.
