- The following is written by James and Frances' daughter, Helen Long Mooring (#53174308) for her niece's DAR application:
"... [James Long] moved from Lowndes Co., Alabama, to Mississippi in young manhood and married Miss Josephine Frances Bell in December, 1948 [sic], at Guntown, Itawamba (now Lee) Co., Mississippi.
"He had had unfortunate business connections and felt that he had been swindled out of his estate which was of considerable value. After their marriage, his health was never very good. They settled near Guntown, Mississippi and all their children were born there."
From the Itawamba County, Mississippi Marriage Book 3:
