16     MARY (3) b. September 22, 1800; m. George Long. October 28, 1829. 4 sons, 1 daughter.   George Long, this foster son of William Craige evidently settled west of the Craig lands and in the neighborhood, and on the same land now owned by his descendants, and where some of the Long's still live. I do not know whom he married, nor how many children he had; but he had a son by the name of "George", who married Isabel Craig, a daughter of the aforesaid John Craig - son of William. The children of the union were: Anderson, Thomas and "George". This last named George married a Miss Latta, and their sons were Thomas, Robert, John and James D. The last named (James) still lives on the original lands, and perpetuates the name, and is a stance Presbyterian. This is the origin of the Long's in Orange County, N.C.

Latta and John R. Latta. 
{"In Fayetteville he made an assignment of a business interest in trust to his cousin,
William Scarlett Latta". On this statement (1996 Note: I have know idea where it came from) this family was moved from branch No.15 to Branch No. 7, by Robert H Latta in the 1930's. But was he a 1st cousin or 2nd 3rd 4th ?.Also I have seen even today people of the same surname call each other cousin and not know if they are. This family seems to fit in this branch and so it will remain until I or some other finds a record that will prove it should be removed.}
