LITTLETON LONG, farmer, P. O. Shady Nook, was born in Nicholas County, Ky.,
Jan. 25, 1813, to Eliakim and Jemima (Victor) Long, natives of Maryland,
near Snow Hill. Littleton, our subject, was the seventh of nine children.
He received a common school education and commenced the battle of life as
a farmer. He was married in Harrison County, Feb. 18, 1840, to Miss
Nancy Maffett; who was born in Harrison County, Dec. 23, 1821. They had
two children, viz: Marion and James R. (see history). Mrs. Long was a
daughter of William and Nancy (Killum) Maffett (see history of John H.
Maffett). Mr. Long is a man of noble impulses and a generous spirit, and
is well worthy of the high esteem in which he is held by the community.
He is a very energetic and enterprising farmer, and a thorough business
man. He commenced life a poor boy, but by making good use of his
abilities has accumulated a good property. He now owns a farm of 120
acres of choice farm land. In connection with his wife he is a member
of the Christian CHurch at Indian Creek. Politically he is a Democrat.
