I've considered the DNA route also. Sounds promising. It would be so cool if you find a Long in your lineage. Sanford trained for medicine in Washington Co, then migrated to Hyde where he practiced. Thomas was a shop clerk in Plymouth, and someone ran across something somewhere that Happy managed dry goods, so possibly Thomas worked in her store. No confirmation. Sanford Jr never married. Thru Eliza we relate to the Sparrows and Midyetts in Hyde Co. I'm itching to know what got Happy excommunicated from the Baptist church. I've tried googling the church records, but there is not much available.
