Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/297 Surname: Long, Bond ------------------------- Seeking to locate information on Thomas D. Long and his wife Mary Bond, md 8 July 1822, Louisa Co, VA. Third child, Catherine Long Ritchie specified that she was born in Spotsylvania, VA- Orange Co. Moved to Ky, about 1833, and traveled around moving from various locations. With the colloboration of many cousins we have compiled a list of descendants. We also, have pictures of some family members......and are willing to share anything that we can. Would like to find the parentage of Thomas D. Long, but, have had no luck so far. Mary Bond is the daughter of Wright Bond and Frances Grady/Gready of Louisa Co, VA following is the bio of Jasper Newton Long, the youngest son of Thomas D. Long and Mary Bond. =========================================================== "A Life of 77 1/2 Years Dotted with Pleasure, Toil, and Sorrow, Yet, after all, life is worth living if it is lived out right." Munfordville, KY, 21 Nov 1917. Jasper Newton Long, the subject of this sketch, was born in Barren County, KY, on 28 May 1840. He is the youngest of nine children borned to Thomas D. Long and Mary Bond Long, three girls and six boys, namely, Eliza Ann, Richard D., Mary Jane, Catherine, John Thomas, William J. (borned dead, a son), Beverly Franklin and Jasper Newton. In 1845 his father, with all his family, including two sons-in-law, Simon Clutter and Lemuel Potter, moved in wagons to Camden County, MO, going through Bowling Green, Greenville, Madisonville, KY, Shawneetown, IL and St. Louis, MO. In 1848 the entire family, except his oldest brother Richard, moved north of the Missouri River to Davis County. Here his youngest sister Catherine married a Mexican War soldier by the name of John Richie, and his brother Franklin died here on November 16, 1850. In 1852 the entire family except the oldest brother Richard moved back to KY by water, took boat at Burnswick (sic) on the Missouri River, came to Cairo, IL and changed boats, came up the Ohio River to Cloverport, KY, got off, moved to Hardensburg (sic), Breckinridge County. Here his mother died on May the 11th, 1852 with measels (sic), and all three of his sisters, Mary Jane's children, died with the same disease a few days later. Here the family broke up. His father, brother John and he moved with his oldest sister down to Green River in the upper edge of Butler County, and the next oldest sister, her husband, his brother Jack moved back to Barren County. His youngest sister and her husband moved to Allen County. He lived with his oldest sister in Butler County a few months, then went to Barren County and lived with his next oldest sister awhile, then went to Allen County to live with his youngest sister. Here he worked on the farm for Ben Pulliam through crop time in 1854, the dry year. In October of that year he and his two brothers, John and Jack, went back to Butler County near Rochester, where he made his home until 1899. In the spring of 1855 his father married the second time in Butler County to Loureasie Wornal. To this union a son was borned, James B. Long. On October 10, 1856. In 1857 his mother died. In 1859 his father and all three of his sisters moved to Arkansas, the youngest sister going on to Texas. His father died in Fayettsville, Arkansas, on March the 17th, 1865. >From 1854 to 1861 subject followed working in timber and flat boating to New Orleans. He made six trips. On one of these trips he had a very fearful experience. The boat he was on run out in a crevas (sic) at Mathers Bend on the Mississippi River and sunk. The skift (sic) he was in was torn to splinters by the current and he was forced to climb a tree or drown. He was in the tree ten hours before he was rescued. On August the 25th, 1861 he married Maria Jane Bunch of Butler County, KY. To this union 13 children were borned. William Jackson, Charles Burr, Joe Annie, Lee, "Ed and Ebby, twins," Frank, Katie, Henry D., Emma, Ella, Nellie and Carry, six boys and seven girls, five dead and eight living. He continued to work in the timber business and farming from 1861 to 1899. In 1867 he raised a company of men and served until the war closed. In 1866 he lost everything he had but a growing crop and some stock, by fire. In 1867 he run a saw mill in Skilesville, Muhlenberg County. Here he made a profession of religion, joined the Methodist church. I was immersed by W.J. Findly in Panther Creek near Old Pleasant Hill Church. His text that day is recorded in the 3rd chapter of Galation (sic) and 29th verse and reads as follows: "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heir according to the promise." In 1876 he bought 50 acres of land, worked the timber off and paid for the land; between 1876 and 1886 he bought five farms joining the fifty acres, worked the timber off and paid for the land, giving him a farm of 1,300 acres. In 1887 one of his barns was struck by lightning and burned, together with all his farming tools, wagon, gear, saddles, bridles, wheat fan, 150 bushels of wheat, and his entire crop of hay except two wagon loads of hay in the meadow, and his entire crop of oats. The barn was among the largest and best in the county. One of his sons, Lee Long of Bowling Green, KY, was in the barn when it was struck, had just drove in from the meadow with a load of hay as it commenced raining, took the mules loose and turned them out in the lot, and he stayed in the barn until after it was struck, but owing to the amount of hay and oats that was above him he wasn't hurt. In August 1888 he sold 750 acres of his land and bought a tract of 1,075 acres of land in Muhlenberg County, for which he paid $6,000, keeping his home place in Butler County, he worked the timber off the tract in Muhlenberg and sold the land. In the early spring of 1888 he joined the F. and A.M. at Rochester, KY, and has held all the important places in the order, his membership now is in Greenville, Muhlenberg County, KY. On Dec the 19th 1888 his wife died, also his baby Carry two weeks later, leaving him with a house full of little children. On July 28th, 1890 he married the second time to Eunice Iduma Shultz of Ohio County. To this union two children were borned, Myrtle and Nat. In the fall of 1894 he and two of his sons, C.B. and Henry Long, his brother W.J. Long and his daughter Ebby all went on a visit to MO, AR and TX. They had not seen the older brother for 46 years and had not seen their sister for 34 years, the whereabouts of the older sister and family was lost in time of the Civil War, and he has never heard from any of them since. On their visit they had an all round pleasant time and all got back home safe. In 1896 he lost another large stock and feed barn on his home place by lightning, one of the finest pair of five year old mules he ever owned was burned in the barn, also his wagon, gear, saddles, bridles and all his feed. None of his buildings were insured that was burned. He sold out in Butler County in 1899 and bought a farm on Rockey (sic) Creek in Muhlenberg County and moved to it on April the 22nd, 1899. His second wife died in 1903. Myrtle, Nat and his youngest daughter by his first wife kept house for him. In 1908 he sold his farm and built a house in Powderly (Muhlenberg County) and moved to it, here Myrtle and Nat kept house for him. In 1912 he sold the house and lot and has about lived out all his money and is living with his children. He has 10 children living and five dead, 33 grandchildren living and eight dead, and six great grand children. He is now waiting for the call from his Lord and Master, but, like Joseph's father, "wants to see his baby boy before he departs." He can say in the language of the poet to his children and friends, "I am bound for the Promised Land." "I will soon be at home over there, for the end of my journey I see, many dear to my heart over there are waiting and watching for me." Will gladly share whatever that we can, would like to learn the parentage of Thomas D. Long b. 1803, VA. email me please Pam Long [email protected] Sacramento, CA
