STORY
"According to a family tale, at least what I can remember of it, while Drury and George were serving the CSA, some Home Guards came through looking for recruits. They burned several houses, including Drury's house, raped some of the neighborhood women and killed a boy when he couldn't tell where his father was. About this time Drury and George was arriving home on furlow. I'm not sure exactly how it happened, but the neighborhood men along with Drury and George tracked some of the home guards down to the river and at about sundown, attacked them. One of the men was able to hide-out all night in the river, but they waited on him and the next morning he was caught. He soon gave the names of the other soldiers and was shot. The other soldiers were tracked down and killed, the last being the one who killed the boy. I was told that the man begged them all for mercy, but the boy's father said "I reckon you aint no better than my boy was" and he shot him dead right on his front porch.
After that, George and his brothers Peter, Joseph, and William all went together to Nashville, Tennessee to join the Union Army. One of the brothers had to be ferried across the Tennessee river on a log by his brothers because he couldn't swim. Another William Long that I suspect to have went with them, served in the same unit with 2 of the brothers and is buried in the same community."
