However, research by another contributor, Kathy Sullivan, in July 2017 is convincing that spouse relationship link was in error, for a variety of reasons, not the least of which was that the William Milton Davis in that particular memorial would have only been 12 years old at the time of the marriage. Other factors have been researched by Kathy to show that while Sarah did marry a William Davis, it was not the same William Milton Davis that this contributor had been asked to, by edit request, link to.
As a result, this particular spouse link is being removed a/o August 1, 2017.
Perhaps someone, sometime, will determine the burial location of the William Davis that Sarah did marry so that a legitimate spouse relationship link can be entered.

"Sarah Long (69491089)
Suggested edit: SOURCE: "Blackburn's Today and Yesterday" by Frances Hilliard Blackburn. p. 237
Sarah H. Blackburn was born in North Carolina, March 23, 1789, she was married to William Davis February 10, 1807 in Harrison County, Kentucky. Nothing is known of William Davis except his name. He died and Sarah married Rev. Robert Long. To Sarah and William Davis were born several sons in the State of Kentucky; James B. born April 23, 1808, Robert, born April 8, 1810 and John born July 11, 1815. Something happened to William between the years 1815 and 1822 for Sarah H. Blackburn Davis was married to Rev. Robert Long probably in 1822. To them the following children were born, a son, William K., in the year 1823 and a daughter, Elizabeth Jane in the year 1825, then another son, Samuel Davis Long, on May 22, 1828 in the State of Indiana. It was in the State of Indiana that the Longs met a family by the name of Samson Smith. They were to meet later in the State of Iowa.
The Longs started migrating west sometime during the year 1829, and in the state of Illinois twin daughters were born to them on November 21, 1830. They named them Mary Armilda and Sarah Alexander. They gave the twins, as well as their oldest daughter nicknames which were Polly and Sally for the twins and Betsy for the oldest daughter. We next find the Long family in the State of Iowa, Jefferson County, in the year 1840 in Polk Township. Sarah H. Long passed away May 20, 1855 in Jefferson County and her internment was in the Smith Branch Cemetery, which is section six of Locust Grove Township in Jefferson County. Robert Long passed away six years before on December 12, 1850 and he is buried in the same cemetery. The family lived in or around Blandensville, McDonough County, Illinois, Macomb is the county seat.

Note: there is an "Elizabeth J Long", died Sept. 19, 1849 at age 1y 2m 7d (daughter of W.K. and C. Long) buried next to Sarah and Robert Long. Likely a granddaughter of at least Robert Long.

The headstone slab for Sarah Long is leaning eastward, and was difficult to photograph with the sun in the background and having to use flash to bring out what inscription detail could be seen. Very weathered headstone at this point. Her headstone is between that of Robert Long and Elizabeth J Long.
