Sources: Census books by Wes Cochran 1860 Mason WV census (Upland) #337-308 Mathias Long 51 VA farmer Bertha 45 KY Lucy A. 14 OH James P. 16 OH Elizabeth 11 OH Nancy 9 OH Rodney 7 OH Gabriel 4 OH George 2 OH 1870 Mason WV census (Clendenin township) #257-259 Mathias Long 63 VA farmer Elizabeth 25 OH keep house Eliza 21 OH Nancy 19 OH The 1880 Mason WV census L021 (Clendenin twp) Tice Long, widower, 70, b. WV, farm laborer I'm not sure but thought this could possibly be Mathias Long. I could not locate your John Valentine Morgan(b. 1845) in Mason census records. Do you know where he was in 1850? Hope this helps...Debi _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
