«b»Notes from Jeff Long:«/b»

«b»Jesse Long and Anna Catharine Duey«/b»

Jesse Long married Anna Catharine Duey in 1859 (1910 US Census) probably in Dauphin County, PA where their families lived. Jesse was 23 and Anna Catharine (also known as Katie, Anna, and Katherine) was 22. The second of their six children was Frank Keith Long (b. 1864), from whom we descend.

A genealogy puzzle: Frank's death certificate (1914) states that his father's name was Jesse M. Long, and his mother's name Catherine Cameron. After searching the records, however, it is very clear (from an 1890 genealogy, «i»Genealogy of the Ludwig Bretz Family: 1750-1890«/i», by E.W.S. Parthemore) that Jesse married Anna Catherine Duey. It is possible that Anna Catherine married a Cameron before marrying Jesse, and was widowed or divorced. Or Frank's son, Harry, may have confused her last name with Cameron County.

The first few years of their marriage, the young couple lived in the Harrisburg region. Jesse worked as a blacksmith. His father George was a farmer in Dauphin County. His father-in-law, Frederick Duey (1796-xxxx) was a weaver in Susquehanna.

((here discuss the closeness of war – Gettysburg in 1863, i.e. 35 miles south of Harrisburg, etc.)

Katie (Anna Catherine) was one of twelve children.

Two of her brothers entered the army during the Civil War. John-Jacob Duey enlisted in Co. K, Pa. Reserves in on June 8, 1861, and transferred to the 190«sup»th«/sup» Regiment, Penn Vols, on May 31, 1864. He was probably wounded at Staunton in early June, and he died on June 8, 1864 near Washington D.C.
Frederick Jr. mustered in to the 20«sup»th«/sup» Regiment Cav, 181«sup»st«/sup» Penn Vols, Company C, on Feb. 5, 1864. Just three weeks before his brother John was wounded, Frederick was captured by the Confederates (May 6, 1864.) He was taken to the notorious Andersonville POW camp at Sumter, Georgia, and managed to survive for six months in horrific conditions. But on Oct. 22, 1864, he died. (this material is drawn from primary sources on PA-Gen. com. Cite sources XXXXXXXX)

And so 1864 was a profound date for Katie, the year that her second child, Frank (our ancestor) was born (in Marysville near Harrisburg,) and the year she lost two brothers to the war. Jesse was somehow spared the war, or at least the records have not yet shown him pressed into service. (One note, though: their first child, James, was born in 1860. Their second, Frank, was born in 1862. It is possible that Jesse was enlisted during this period. No proof exists of that, however.)

Katie's other surviving brother, Simon Duey, a carpenter by trade, was a "very active" Republican politician and was twice elected Register of Wills and also served as Prison Warden for Dauphin county from 1884 to 1887.

Katie's extended family included the prominent Bretz clan, and that ancestry influenced the Long future. For one thing, many of the Bretz offspring resided in Lykens Valley, PA, which held a public road connecting Harrisburg to Sunbury. Besides Jesse and Katie's family, at least one other branch of the Bretz family moved north to Sunbury after the Civil War (Clare E. Bretz, married to Henry Free Shupe.) Several of Katie's relatives work with the Pennsylvania Railroad, and Jesse followed suit. Sometime before 1870, Jesse took a job with the railroad. It was the wave of the future.

Sunbury began its rise to prominence just before the Civil War, becoming a secondary hub to Pennsylvania's railroad industry soon after. At that time, most of the race to build railroads ran east-west in a constant reach for the Western frontier (today's Midwest). But an effort mounted in the 1850s to connect the fifty-four miles of north-south Susquehanna Valley between Harrisburg and Sunbury by rail.

Two motives drove this expensive pursuit. One was the railroad's goal of siphoning business from the Erie Canal (a rail line already existed between Sunbury and Erie, but without a connection south.) The other was to forge a connection with the coal fields all the way to Mount Carmel, PA. During the Civil War, the railroad industry grew more important than ever. After the war, it became a monolith. (from «i»Pennsylvania Railroad: Color History«/i», by Mike Schafer and Brian Solomon, MBI Publishing Company, 1997) Sunbury flourished as a crossroads in northern Pennsylvania, drawing to it both Longs and Baumgartners.

The Jesse Long's moved to Sunbury at the right moment. There is no record of how he made the switch from blacksmith to engineer, but between 1860 and 1870 he changed careers and set the course for the next two generations of Longs. His son Frank Long worked as a conductor, and grandson Harry B. Long as a lumber inspector for the Reading Railroad.

Ludwig Bretz

«/b»On Aug. 15, 1750, Ludwig arrived at Philadelphia onboard the Royal Union from Rotterdam (its captain was Clement Nicholson.) He was one of 248 male passengers, and one of just ten who were marked "on board", meaning they were probably confined to the ship by sickness.

His place of birth is unknown. Germany. Protestant. Ten years later, in 1760 he settled in Lancaster County, PA. He owned a farm, which he sold just before the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately he took continental money for the property, and that currency collapsed shortly afterwards. It left him impoverished.

He then moved deeper into the frontier and became one of the first settlers in Lykens Valley, about five miles north of Millersburg, near the Mahantango mountain. He carved out a small farm and raised a family.

Soon after settling in Lykens Valley, he joined the American army and became a member of Captain Albright Deibler's Company of Associators of the Fourth Battalion, an all-German company, commanded by Col. James Burd. This company saw combat at the battles of Trenton and Princeton, and was in service for a year. A portion of the command was captured at the battle of Long Island, and Ludwig was wounded in battle. He returned home in January 1777.

On March 26, 1778, Ludwig appeared before Joshua Elder, a justice of Lancaster (now Dauphin) County, and took the oath of allegiance.

On April 23, 1781, Ludwig returned to the military as a sergeant of Captain Martin Weaver's company. This time the enemy was Native Americans who threatened the settlements of the West Branch Valley. He returned home from service in time to plant the spring crop.

He died in the year 1807.

Ludwig's wife's name was Elizabeth (last name unknown.) In the words of 19«sup»th«/sup» century genealogy, they "had issue." Seven children were born to them, all in Lykens Valley.

1. Mary Bretz b. circa 1761; she married Emanuel Duey. They are our ancestors.
2. Catherine, b. circ. 1763
3. Elizabeth, b. Oct. 17, 1765, m. Henry Bomgardner.
4. Susan, Jan. 20, 1770
5. John, Dec. 15, 1771
6. Ludwig, circ. 1773
Magdalena. These latter two appear to be twins.

Mary Bretz and Emanuel Duey lived in Dauphin County. They are buried in the Shoop's Church graveyard in Dauphin County.

Their 13«sup»th«/sup» child, Frederick was born on March 24, 1796. He married Barbara Peiffer (buried at Shoop's Church, too.) They "had issue". Their seventh child was Anna Catherine, b. April 11, 1837.

Anna Catherine ("Katie") married Jessie (sic) Long. They moved north to Sunbury, and are now buried at Pomfret Manor Cemetery there. (all of the above material comes from «i»Genealogy of the Ludwig Bretz Family: 1750-1890«/i», by E.W.S. Parthemore, published in Harrisburg PA, 1890)

Their third child was Frank Keith Long.

Frank would marry Elizabeth "Lizzie" Andrews, from Wales. One of their sons was Harry B. Long.
