According to my aunts, all of his and my ggrandmothers children were born in Coryell County. I'm not sure about that. I accquired my grandfather's ss# application, it says he was born in Milsap, Parker County, Texas. > My ggrandmother's name was Laura Lee Ince, born in Hillsboro, Hill County, Texas. Anyone know of any Long's living in Coryell County? Some of the names that have been handed down from Robert's family. > > Irvin, Iseland, Wilson, Ida > > Any help, greatly appreciated. I know so much, yet so little. There's no death certificate, headstone, nor ss# for Robert,but I know where he died, even the tending doctor. I have a picture of he and his wife on their wedding day, April 1, 1883. I have a land tax record from 1886 from Weatherford, Parker Cty., Texas. I'm wondering where Coryell County fits into this. My uncle once told me, "your ggrandfather was a big, black dutchman from Texas." > > I won't give up, I'll find him. Peg Long >
