Linda, Joe, anyone, I have a John Long in my line. I don't know much about him. But according to a letter that was written by my great-great grandfather, Mackenzie Giles Bodenhamer (Bodenheimer) to his daughter, Mary Emma Belle Bodenheimer Vogler, his mother Mary Sink, married to Peter S. Bodenheimer, was the daughter of George Sink and ?? Long whose father was John Long. Mary Sink was born about 1812. I have no other information on any of these people and, in fact, the letter is a little confusingly written and the generations may even be a little off. Is there anyone out there to whom any of this looks at all familiar?
