1882 - Marries Mortinette Long,  Jun 11, 1882, Tucker Co., WV. 

Marriage License and Record for Carroll Long and Mortinette Long.  License has the date of Jun 9.  Record shows marriage occurred on Jun 11, 1882

  About this marriage.  Yes, Mortinette's maiden name was Long.  Her parents were James E Long and Harriet Parsons.  Most family trees on Ancestry.com have James E Long's parents as Adam Hull Long and Nancy Hart, the same as Carroll.  If this were so, then Carroll married his "brother's" daughter or his niece.  Problem is.....Adam Hull and Nancy Hart did not have a son by the name of James E Long.  Look at the Census records and Adam's will or at the top of this page.

However, if you look at the hard-to-read marriage record for James E Long and Harriet Parson in 1861, James' parents are John G Long and Susan H Long.   This would actually be John H Long and Susan Hull, the same parents as Adam Hull Long.  Adam Hull Long and James E Long were brothers.  Carroll and Mortinette were first cousins.  Marriage of first cousins was infrequent BUT was not uncommon in the mid 1800's.

  According to death certificates for both Carl and Mortinette, they are buried at the Bethel Cemetery, Holly Meadows, Tucker Co., WV.  Either their grave marker(s) is(are) missing or illegible or in an area of the cemetery that no one has photographed and placed on Find A Grave or BillionGraves.
   
Children of Carroll "Carl" William Long and Mortinette Long
   
  Stella Long - b and d. Oct 3, 1884, Holly Meadows, Tucker Co., WV
 
Stella Long
  Whether this was the baby's name or not, is unknown.  The name came from family trees on Ancestry.com where they do not bother to source any of the information. Most just copy information without confirming it.

What is known, is Montinette had two children that died before the 1900 Census.  Going on this, I searched both birth and death records from 1882 - 1900 on the WV Culture website using ' l*ng ' as the last name.  I then looked at every record, looking for both Carl and Mortinette as the parents.  This included either birth or death where a baby remained unnamed. 

No records were found for a baby who was born or died in 1884 for this couple.  I did however find baby Duncan's below.
   
  Duncan W Long -  b. Apr 2, 1887;  d. May 8, 1887,  Black Fork, Tucker Co., WV
 
Duncan W Long
  I could find no birth record for this child.  I did however find the death record.  Baby Duncan "Dunkan" was reported to be one month and six days old on May 8, 1887,  Which would make the birth day Apr 2. 

Some family trees have April 8, some have the child born in 1885. Again, no sources given for these alternate birth dates.

Also, Duncan's middle initial could either be a "W" or an "M"

  1966 - Was living in Atwater, OH according to brother Paul's obituary.
  Death unknown.  Some family trees have her dying in Maryland in 1978.  Yes, there is a Viola Long with a birthday of 30 Aug 1888 and a death of Jul 1978 in the SSDI.  However, it is unlikely that she went off to Maryland in her senior years unmarried.  Someone has also created an online record at Find A Grave with this information.  There is no marker photo to confirm this burial. This is most likely another Viola Long.  Unless I see a death certificate or grave marker, I am not convinced that the Viola Long who died in 1978, is this Viola Long.

Lessie Married again to Phillip Leroy Davis, Jan 27, 1945, Monongalia Co., WV.  They had one daughter Rosie Davis who married Vernon Dalton.  Phillip was also the father of Thelma Pearl Davis, Melvin Edgar Davis, and Palmer E Davis who married three of Claude and Lessie' children.  See below....

Birth Record for Claud Long

Select the image for a larger view

The birth date given in this record is February 29, 1890.  First, 1890 was not a Leap Year, so there was no Feb 29, 1890.  Second, the Month and Day given on all historical documents is Feb 5.  So the birth "day" is wrong in this record.
  There also appears to be an issue with Claude's birth year.  Some documents have 1890 or 1888.  Some have 1894.
The Birth Record above supports that Claude was born in 1890.

Claude was also Deaf according to his WWI Registration.

  1945 - Widow Lessie marries the widower Phillip Leroy Davis, Jan 27, 1945, Monongalia Co., WV.  Lessie is listed as Rebecca Long on marriage license. Phillip Davis becomes both step-father and father-in-law to Carl Long, Jr, Ida Mae Long, and Marie M Long.  This is because Carl, Ida, and Marie marry three of Phillip's children; Thelma, Melvin, and Palmer.

There is something odd about this family only marrying their step-sisters and step-brothers.  I can see it if they were the last people on the planet....but they were not.  Everyone is a cousin AND an in-law of each other.

Obituary for Michael L Davis

Accessed Dec 1, 2019

Michael L. Davis, 54, of Point Marion, Pa., died Friday, April 8, 2011, at his home, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Born June 7, 1956 in Morgantown, he was a son of the late Melvin E. and Ida Mae (Long) Davis. A 1974 graduate of Albert Gallatin High School, he retired after 20 years of service as a deckhand on the river boat “Wanda B” with Consolidation Coal Company. He then worked for the West Virginia University physical plant as a trade specialist 2 until his health declined.

Mike was a social member of the American Legion, Post 499 and the VFW, Post 747, both in Point Marion.

Surviving are three sisters and their husbands, Sharon and Dennis Vasquez of Washington, Pa., Debbie and Frank Danko of Bobtown, Pa., and Pat Davis of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; a brother Melvin Davis of Uniontown, Pa.; nephews Gary McKee and Logan Danko; a niece, Kim McKee; four step-grandchildren, Matthew Chisler, Emily, Hannah and Hadlee Banks; and his loving companion, Melodie Campbell.

Deceased are his parents and one brother-in-law, Mark Adams. At the request of the deceased, there will be no public visitation. A celebration of Mike’s life will be held at a later date.

Marie M Long
  Birth year of Marie - She was born in 1942.  On her marriage license, she lied and said she was born in 1940, so she would be 18 years old.  If she had been born in Feb of 1940, she would have appeared with her family in the 1940 Census because their house was visited in April of 1940 by the Census taker, when she would have been a couple months old.  Her mother gave consent for the marriage between her and her step-brother.

Name for Marie - In all of the historical documents, Marie's name is given as Marie or Marie M.  The 'M' middle initial might stand for Mortinette.  The name Mortinette is provided in a couple family trees on Ancestry.  However, there is no documentation for this.
