Note that the dates of birth & death were obtained from early Death Records in Gilmer Co, GA.
Let's start with some early census data, all of which has been taken from original handwritten documents.
1850 Census - Union Co, GA
Dwelling & Household #533
Levi Long, 48, b NC
Elizabeth Long, 41, b NC
Lucinda Long, 19, b NC
Margaret Long, 17, b NC
John Long, 15, b NC
James Long, 13, b NC
Betty Ann Long, 12, b NC
Jane Long, 10, b NC
William Long, 11, b NC
Riley Long, 8, b NC
Levi Long, 7, b NC
Martha Long, 5, b GA
Sarah Long, 3, b GA
Lafayette Long, 1, b GA
*1860 Census - Gilmer Co, GA (HH #996)
Levi Long, 55, b SC
Elizabeth Long, 48, b NC
James Long, 25, b NC
Riley Long, 17, b NC
Levi Long, 16, b NC
Martha Long, 15, b NC
Sarah Long, 13, b GA
Lafayette Long, 11, b GA
Rebecca Long, 10, b GA
*In early 1850s, the Georgia legislature deemed that "all people should be able to reach their county seat within one day". This resulted in existing county lines being adjusted to create "new" counties. One of those was Fannin County which was created in 1854 from portions of Gilmer (primarily the northern portion of Gilmer which originally extended to the Tennessee state line & eastward along a smaller portion of the North Carolina state line) and a smaller portion of smaller portion of Union County. A smaller portion along the southern end of Gilmer Co and a portion of northern were used to create Pickens Co in 1853. Thus, it is NOT clear whether this Long family actually moved or were placed in Gilmer Co as result of the new counties being created.
1870 Census - Gilmer Co, GA (HH #351)
Levi Long, 64, b NC
Elizabeth Long, 62, b SC
Martha Long, 22, b GA
Rebecca Chastain, 17, b GA
(Rebecca Long had recently married Benjamin Webb Chastain, but was visiting her parents the day the 1870 census was taken.)
1880 Census - Gilmer Co, GA
Tickanetley District
Levi Long, 80, b NC (both parents b SC)
Elizabeth Long, b SC (both parents b VA)
-------------------------------
Levi M. Long & Catherine Holder (as transcribed) married Sep 15, 1867, Gilmer Co, GA; Bk 4, Pg 332. Catherine was actually Lydia C. Holden, d/o John & Lydia Bearden Holden (married Dec 26, 1841, Gilmer Co, GA; Bk 1, Pg 18).
1870 Census - Gilmer Co, GA (HH #146)
Levi Long, 22, b GA
Lidia C. Long, 20, b GA
Martha E. Long, 5 mos (b Dec 1869), b GA
1880 Census - Gilmer Co, GA
Tickanetley District
Levi Long, 35, b SC (both parents b SC)
Liddia C. Long, 38, b GA (both parents b GA)
Martha E. Long, 10, b GA
Andrew J. Long, 8, b GA
John B. Long, 6, b GA
Levi F. Long, 1, b GA
1900 Census - Gilmer Co, GA
(HH #138 in Ellijay)
Levi Long, 60, (b Dec 1839, NC)
Manerva Long, 43 (b Feb 1857, GA)
(They have been married for 7 years; Manerva has NOT given birth to any children)
Martha E. Long, 30 (b Dec 1869)
Andrew J. Long, 28 (b Apr 1872)
Levi F. Long, 22 (b May 1878)
William E. Long, 18 (b Feb 1881)
Mary L. Long, 13 (b Dec 1886)
Ader E. Long, 11 (b Jan 1889)
Note that son John B. Long, age 6 in 1880 census, is not found in 1900 Gilmer Co census; however, a marriage record may have been found for him ... John B. Long & Marcena Bearden married Sep 1, 1892, Gilmer Co, GA; Bk 4, Pg 190. No further information on this man.
Above info suggests that Lidia C. Holden Long died between birth of Ada in Jan of 1889 and the date Levi Long married his second wife, Manerva (Jan 1893). During that time period, "widowed men" with small children tended to re-marry rather quickly (usually within a few months); it is probable that Lidia died in late summer or early fall of 1892.
Info concerning Levi's death & burial site were obtained from some old Georgia Death Records which I found approx. 20 years ago. Death Certificate #17467 - informant was his son-in-law, J. ?. Greer.
