Linda, About the George Deppisch? I think he might have been a step-father to John or Anna Long from Germany. I saw where he came to America in 1866 well after they were here. It was odd saying father.I haven't got any concrete information concerning who he was.I don't know where he is buried either.It said he was a widow on one of the census.I think he was around 40 years old when he came to America.John J. Long died at the age of 55 in Taylor,Williamson Co. I visited his grave but Anna isn't listed there. Anna was living with her son George W. Long in 1900 in Lampasas County. Listed as a capitolist in that county.I believe she was 70 or 71 in 1900. Haven't been able to find her after that.Checked the cemeteries in Lampasas Co. and no luck.They bought and sold properties also.They had four children. Unlike their son who spit them out.His siblings didn't have a lot of children either.I would imagine his siblings didn't think a lot about him having so many children.His children didn't have large families like him either. A lot of his children didn't have any children. Bonnie
