I don't have anything other than family stories that Dorothy Long was born in KY.. I know Thomas Bird was born in Grainger County, as was his sister Mary Ann. The three older Bird siblings, Redman, Hilliard and Nancy were born in NC, as were their parents, James M. and Cloa. Thank you for the information. I do not believe there was Indian blood on the Longs, because they owned land and their children went to school, which Indians could not do, causing many to deny Indian heritage. Cinda
