William H. Long

William H. Long
Son of John R. Long & Sarah Ann Piper
The search for the family of William H. Long was not easy, since there were many individuals by the same name in Michigan from 1860 to 1900. Moreover, some of them were soldiers in the Civil War.

I am not publishing every document pertaining to the Long/Munn family. Using those that I have selected, anyone can easily find the missing ones in order to complete a family tree.

I have, in fact, retained the following ones for various reasons. The main one is the fact that (according to my research…) William’s brother, George Jackson Long, married Aucillia C. Munn in 1869 from Illinois USA. William H. married Mercy Ann Munn (also known as Mary Munn and Mercy Munn in some documents) from Illinois (New York in other documents). So, brothers married sisters.

William H. first appeared in the 1850 Census at Gaines Orleans New York. He was six (6) years old, hence born about 1844.
Ten years later, he appeared in the 1860 Census at Walton Eaton MI. He was 14 years old.
There is more than 10 years difference between these two screenshots. Sarah Ann Piper had died and John R. had remarried with Nancy M. Parker from New York NY.

Up to now, I have found the following members of the family of William H. Long & Mercy A. Munn.

About Mercy Ann Munn

Death certificate for Mercy Ann Munn-Long
on June 21, 1936 in Calhoun MI.
Her father was Abraham (Abel) Munn 
and she was born in New York NY.
This 1860 Census taken in Orleans New York is quite revealing, since John R. & Sarah Ann Piper lived in Orleans in 1850. 
It is, then, reasonable to believe that 
the Long & Munn families met there.
