    1. [PACENTRE] Long Family
    2. An article in this weeks Livingston County (NY) News tells of the 100th reunion of the Long family.? Twenty-two descendants held their reunion on August 23rd in Lakeville, NY. Christian and Elizabeth Long and others of the Mennonite faith came to the Livingston County area in 1806 from Nittany, PA.? It seems that veterans of the Revolutionary War had come home with stories of a beautiful little lake called Conesus.? Fertile fields abound in this area.? Christian Long purchased 20 acres of land on East Lake Road along Conesus Lake.? Christopher,? his son, settled on land south of his father. The article tells that attendance has dropped at reunions as years and members passed away and a faithful few held on for the 100th and last reunion. Eighteen boxes of history and the small treasury of $250 will be donated to the Livonia Historical Society. Descendants of the Long family who may tie into this branch may want to contact the Livonia Historical Society in Livonia, NY 14487. Judy Offen Caledonia, NY (Livingston County)
