National Genealogical Society Quarterly, p. 23 Internet Download: www.genealogy.com Note: I believe the information quoted above is in error as it pertains to Ware Long's longevity. Court testimony in the case of Ware Long v. Turberville suggests that he was the oldest son of John Long, who was the oldest son of Richard Long. "Reuben Long (No. 12) who leads the Third Generation was born in Culpepper County, Virginia, in the year 1773. He married Martha Witt, daughter of Jesse and Martha (Chatham) Witt, in the state of Virginia. Their children were six in number and were named Jesse Witt, Christopher Allen, Reuben, David Ellis, Martha and Sarah, the girls being twins. He settled in Whitley County, Indiana and engaged in farming for the term of his life. He died in September 1838, aged 65 years."
