website editor believes the Longs of Burke NC and North Ga may
have been involved in gold mining. They seemed to live in places
where gold mining was very active. Conrad Reed lived next door
to George Long in 1810 Cabarrus census. Conrad Reed was 1st cousin
to Elizabeth Kiser who married George Long. George Long was living
adjacent John Reed in
1800 Cabarrus census. See NC state account
of the Reed mine.

1828 From email of Eddie Hyland:
"The following article is
about Elizabeth Kiser (27 Aug 1771- 27 Apr 1828) who married
George Long. There were no children of Elizabeth Kiser and
George Long. They were members of Meadow Creek Baptist Church
in Stanly Co., NC according to Elaine Walsh research. No other
information on George Long. Elizabeth was daughter of George
Alexander Kiser Sr. (11 Mar 1754-11 Mar 1830) and Mary Dove (1756-27
Apr 1836). George Kiser purchased land from Peter Long Cabarrus
Co.Deed Book 5 Pg 191. Elizabeth was murdered by one of her fathers
slaves. The following story was copied from a newspaper article:
Shocking Murder - We learn,
that on Sunday, the 27th ult. Mrs. Long, wife of Mr. George Long
of Cabarrus county, was killed by a negro fellow belonging to
her father, Mr. George Kiser. The fellow bore a bad character,
and had been forbidden, by Mrs. Long, to visit her house, which
he had been in the habit of doing clandestinely, for the purpose
of seeing a negro girl belonging to the family. He consequently
determined upon revenge; and on Sunday, about 3 o'clock, while
Mrs. Long was passing alone along the road to her father's, the
negro rushed from an ambush where he had been, lying all day,
seized and strangled Mrs. L. with two handkerchiefs, tying one
round her neck and stuffing the other in her mouth. The fellow
was apprehended the same day, and confessed the murder. The negro
girl was also apprehended as an "accessory before the fact"
she having furnished the fellow with food while he was lying
in wait, and being privy to his designs on Mrs. L.'s life. They
were both put in prison, and will be tried at the superior court
which sits this week in Concord. Source:Western Carolinian RRsw
