Note: RESEARCH STANDARD APPLIED Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 21, 2021 Mary Ann Long is my paternal third great aunt, which is via common ancestry with Andrew Long and Jane Nevan. Mary was initially identified in the 1875 census living with her parents. Based on the application of recognized genealogical standards of proof, the descent and family structure of Mary Long is sufficiently established beyond any reasonable doubt. The basis for the descent of Mary begins with the census record, which shows her living with her parents. This is followed by her obituary naming her father, and being named in the last will and testament of her mother. The descent of Mary is also demonstrated horizontally by a newspaper article concerning, which names here as a sibling of Margaret, Robert, and Daniel. The family structure begins with the census records, and is followed by her obituary. This has been subsequently supported with the additional interlocking records and documentation listed further below. While her father was in the U.S. Army during the Civil War, Mary Ann Long lived with the family of George Steele, as stated in the newspaper articles further below and shown on the 1865 census. The article mentions that Mary was pregnant in the fall of 1866, which means she would have given birth circa early 1867. Any further information about this child has not yet been determined. One wild possibility is that her sister Cora was actually her daughter. The spelling of the forename of Orrin is unclear, as some of the records list it as Orren. 1849 BIRTH OF ORRIN CHARLES CHAPMAN Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 17, 2021 Orrin Charles Chapman was born circa 1849 in New York, USA. The approximate year of birth was determined from the census records. 1850 BIRTH OF MARY ANN LONG Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 17, 2021 Mary Ann Long was born circa December 17, 1850 in Lockport, Niagara County, New York, USA. There are ranging discrepancies on her year of birth. The obituary indicates that she was born on December 17, 1844, and that she was 92 years old, which obviously conflict with each other, as she died on September 29, 1941. It is assumed that the day and month of December 17th are correct. For her to be 92 years old, that would indicate that her birth date would be December 17, 1848. The ages listed in the census records are inconsistent, but a couple of them imply a birth year a couple of year laters, so 1850 is an assumption. 1855 CENSUS OF MARY ANN LONG Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 17, 2021 The New York State Census enumerated on Saturday, June 22, 1855 shows Mary Ann Long living with her parents in Lockport, Niagara County, New York, USA.

The following information was transcribed from the actual document, which was obtained from the Ancestry website: "Mary Long, age 13, female, white, servant, born in Niagara County." 1867 NEWSPAPER ARTICLES ON MARY ANN LONG Researched by Timothy J. Barron, updated April 18, 2021 The following appeared in the Lockport Daily Journal newspaper from Lockport, Niagara County, New York, USA, on Tuesday Evening, May 28, 1867. "Niagara County Circuit Court. Hon. Noah Davis, Presiding. Tuesday, May 28th, 1867. Andrew Long vs. George Steele. Farnell & Brazee for plaintiff; Holmes & Fitts for defendant. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to secure damages for the alleged seduction of his daughter by the defendant. The facts of the case are briefly as follows: The plaintiff, Mr. Long, is a German, a resident of Lockport, and the defendant, Mr. Steele, a farmer, over sixty years of age, living in the town of Newfane. In the summer of 1861 Mr. Long went to the war, leaving his wife and five children, who some months after, being in indigent circumstances, sought refuge at the poorhouse. In March 1862, Mrs. Steele, the wife of the defendant, went to the poorhouse and took Mary Long, a girl of about twelve years of age, home with her and adopted her, or at least kept her in the family. Mary remained in the family until the fall of 1866, when it was ascertained that she was enciente. During the summer a boy named Ferdinand Horning, age fifteen years, had been in the employ of Mr. Steele for about three months, with whom Mary, it is stated, was on rather intimate acquaintance, as well as with one or two boys in the neighborhood. According to the evidence for the defense, when questioned as to who was the the father of the child, she repeatedly stated that the boy Horning was; but that she afterwards denied that he was, and said that Mr. Steele was the father. Mr. Steele, the defendant, has been a resident of Newfane for some twenty-seven years, has hitherto borne an excellent character, and been much respected, and those who know him intimately will not believe that he was guilty of doing such an act. The defense claims that the case is one of conspiracy, to extort money from Mr. Steele, as the boy Horning had no property, and therefore no damages could be obtained from him. The case is still on trial." The following appeared in the Buffalo Daily Courier newspaper from Buffalo, Erie County, New York, USA on Thursday Morning, May 30, 1867. "Court of Oyer and Terminer. The trial on the carpet today is one for seduction. It it is an action brought by a father for the seduction of a daughter! Andrew Long is a German residing in this city, and in the spring of 1861, went to the war, leaving his wife and children behind. After his departure, his family were compelled to go to the County Home, and some time after this Mrs. Geo. Steele, wife of the defendant, took Mary Long out, for the purpose of taking her in the the family. She remained with Mrs. Steele about four years, and in the fall of 1866, it was discovered she was enciente. There was a young man living with them, and Mary has said that this young man was the father of the child, but she now claims that Mr. Steele, over sixty years of age, is the father. Mr. Steele is a farmer residing in the town of Newfane for the last thirty years, bearing an excellent reputation, and probably the action was brought to obtain money. The case is still in progress." 1875 CENSUS OF MARY LONG Researched by Timothy J.
