Note: Nancy Long of Anson lives next to Frederick Bass Jr.
(see above abstracts for James Long). She is likely the "Cherokee
indian", Nancy Bird, wife of Josiah Long living alone as
was often the custom. However, her indian ancestry is suspect.
The census enumerator would have identifed her as 00010 if she
was "other free", as they did Frederick Bass Jr. Reuben
and Josiah Long appear to live in the same area - and live by
persons who owned land in Brown's Creek area (same as James Long
above) |
