A shotgun made in England in the 1700's and believed to have been used by one of the Long family in the Civil War is presently in the possession of Kevin Erickson (2001) handed down by Grandfather Aubrey Nobles. Aubrey also gave Kevin a Springfield rifle (4570?) that he believes was used in the Civil War by one of the Long family.

From the Research of Annabelle Pennington Nobles Stone:

"Lucy Annie Payne Long and her two sons J. Newt Long and William (Billy) Long took or kidnapped the children of her daughter, Lucy Annie Long after her death. The children were taken from their father, James J. Henderson.

Lucyan Payne Long and her sons brought the Henderson children down the Ohio River to the Mississippi River, then down the Mississippi River to __________. When they reached __________, they traded their river boat for a wagon and team and proceeded to Texas.

George and Jim Henderson died and were buried in Elgin, Texas. Lucyan Payne Long, her sons and two grandchildren, Jeff Davis and Polly Henderson continued to Burnet county, Texas where they homesteaded a farm about eight miles southeast of Lampasas, Texas at a place called Bachelor's Peak. This was probably around 1867/1870. She died on this farm on October 16, 1876, and is buried there. The graves of her two sons and herself are still to be seen at the family burial spot on this farm. They are the only three graves there.

I have heard two reasons that Lucy Long felt it necessary to take the children away from their father, Jack Henderson. One was that the father was one-half Indian and the Long family thought him unworthy of the children. The other reason was that Jack Henderson had remarried and they did not approve of this marriage. Perhaps a little of both reasons is true."

~~~~~~

"BACHELOR PEAK. Bachelor Peak (Bachelor's Peak) is on U.S. Highway 183 fourteen miles northwest of Briggs in northern Burnet County (at 31°00' N, 98°06' W). It rises 1,391 feet above sea level, nearly 200 feet above the surrounding countryside. Early settler Alexander Brown and six other bachelors once had a picnic on its summit, and the hill was named for them.

From the Research of Annabelle Pennington Nobles Stone:

"Jack Henderson was a river boat builder for Ohio River boats. According to his grand-daughter, Vida Holly Henderson East, he was one-half Indian (she did not know which tribe).

He was undoubtedly not a very good father and husband. After the death of his first wife, Lucy Long, his mother-in-law, Lucyan Payne Long and her two sons, J. Newt Long and William (Billy) Long, took or kidnapped the above listed children from him and brought them to Texas."
