Anyone on the list researching Mahala Long who married Peterson McGill ? I think but have no proof that she may be sister to my Nicholas Long. Mahala Long according to 1850 census was born abt 1815 either in Tennessee or Alabama. Mahala Long and Peterson McGill lived across the line in Limestone County, Alabama in 1850: 1850 Federal Census District 4 , Limestone County, Alabama November 1850 Image 32 Line 236 Peterson McGill: 34. Male. Farmer. Tennessee. Mahala. Wife. 35. Alabama Robert. 13. Alabama Aaron. 11. Tennessee James M. 8. Tennessee Sarah E. 8. Alabama Eli. 6. Alabama Nicholas. 4. Alabama Washington. 1. Tennessee The name James, Sarah, Nicholas and Washington are common names in my line of Long's. One of Peterson's Great Grand-son's ( Billy Ray McGill ) married Barbara Long ( daughter of Lother Lindberg Long and Lillian Lucille Long ( who were first cousins ). Any help would be appreciated Many Thanks Robbie
