I am researching my Great
X5 Grandfather John Long b. 1758 (?) d. 3 MAY 1819 (Rowan County,
NC). He married Mary (last name unknown) b. abt. 1759 d. 6 OCT
1820 (Rowan County, NC). My John Long appears numerous times
in the court minutes for Cabarrus County beginning with its formation
in 1793. My family lived near Cold Water Creek and Dutch Buffalo
Creek and are buried in the Old Crystal Springs Presbyterian
Graveyard located on the county line between Rowan and Cabarrus
Counties. Trying to determine John's parents and origin. Thanks!
