1850 U.S. Federal Census; Isaac Long I
family was living in Lookout Valley,
Walker Co., Georgia. Later in 1858,
he moved his family to Harris Township
in Izard County, Arkansas. At this time,
her two children and his three children
from their first marriages aren't listed
in the U. S. Census.
Early in the Civil War, a group of outlaws,
called Bushwachers came to Isaac's
farm in Stone County, Arkansas. They
destroyed everything.
Isaac was beaten severely and left
for dead. He even heard the men
say, "well boy's, all he lacks of
being dead is laying the quarters
on his eyes." After Isaac recovered
from the beating, he moved his family
to Missiouri.

Isaac Long I served in the Union,
during the Civil War. He enlisted
in Rolla, Missouri and served about
one year when he became very ill.
Isaac died in the Hickory Street
General Hospital in Saint Louis, Missouri.
It is noted that his older brother, John
Long II and his family lived in Lookout
Valley, Walker Co., Georgia. Some of the
descendants of John Long II family are
still living in Georgia today.

Isaac's brother, Maples Long and his family
lived in Arkansas, Boone Co., moving
from the old family home place in Sevier
Co., Tn., where Maples and sibblings
were raised with their parents, Rev.
George W. Long I and Nancy Elizabeth
'Maples.' Later, Maples Long raised his
family in his father's old homeplace,
in Sevier Co., Tennessee till they moved
to Arkansas in Sept., 1857. Isaac's
brother Levi Long and James Long
also had lived in Walker County,
Ga., where their brother, John Long II
lived with his family.
Isaac, James, and Levi all moved their
families to Arkansas. Isaac owned a
farm in Stone Co., and had donated land
for a family cemetery. His wife, Rebecca and
3 of their son's are buried in the old
homeplace cemetery. His sister, Ruth 'Long'
Gorman lived in Willard, Greene Co., Missouri
w/her family. Ruth and her husband David are
buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery, on the old
