GEDCOM Note

Much of the information that I have about the Long and related families came from the book "Our Hill Country Heritage Volume II Long's and Related Families" by Paul J. Long which was published in 1972. From that book: Records indicate that our ancestors were in the Tennessee-North Carolina area before Tennessee became a state. Alfred Long must have migrated to Indiana as a young man, possibly in his early twenties, and before he married Marty Thompson in 1826. There are many questions that still need answering about the early members of the Long family. Most records show Albert born in North Carolina. Census records show that William Long's father was born in Tennessee. If we are correct about James Long, in Knox county, Tennessee, being William Long's father, then the parents of Alfred and James must have moved from North Carolina to Tennessee shortly after 1800, as Alfred was born ca 1800 and James was born ca 1810. It is quite possible that the family was in the area of Tennessee before it became a state. Who then are the parents of Alfred, James and Job Long? There re several Longs on the 1830 census of East Tennessee that are old enough to be their parents. Did Alfred Long migrate to Indian with a group of Quakers, or some other group?
