    "Mary Elizabeth Harris, Theresa's daughter is my 2nd ggrandmother.  She married a Henry Long, Point Deluxe [Point DeLuce].  If I'm not mistaken Therese [Dumont] was baptized at the fort.  My understanding is that there is interesting history about a fort there and our people."
    --  Timothy Merle Flynn, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 15 June 2018

    The 1870 census above shows they lived near Arkansas Post, at the southern end of Arkansas County, near the confluence of the Arkansas River, the White River and the Mississippi River.  But Henry's father John died some time after the birth of his yougnest sister Sarah in about 1877 (age 3 in the 1880 census).

    The 1880 census reported Lucretia up north in Arkansas County, in Point DeLuce, near the White River, close to DeWitt.  In this census Henry is still in his mother's household, but is reported both single and widowed.

    The age on the index marriage record matches the age reported for Mary E Harris in the 1880 census.  Her husband's name here, however, is only the initials N F, not Henry.  But I suspect the original had H F, which was misread by the transcriber.  From the 1600s till roughly 1900, it was common to write H with an upstroke from the bottom of the first stem to the top of the lst stem.  It looked different from an N, however, with the inner stroke goig up to the left, oppostie the N.  We have no access to the original handwritten record.

    The 1900 census enumerated Mollie Long with her husband Henry next door to her parents, George and Theresa Harris.  But her husband is named Henry Long, and his birth date is reported as April 1870, age 30.  That is younger than the age in the above marriage record, with birth 10 years later than we expect from the marriage record.  Was N F Long of that marrige record a different person from Henry Long of the 1900 census?  Or did the clerk make a 10-yeaar error in recording NF's (Henry's) age?

    The 1910 census records marriage information.  In that census, Mollie's husband is reported as Henry F Long, matching our expectation for the husband of the marriage record, assuming the script H was mistaken by the transcriber for an N.  Henry's age is reported as 51, making birth about 1859, matching the age reported in the marriage record.

    In the 1900 census Henry and Mollie were enumerated in the LaGrue Township of Arkansas County, next door to her parents.

    Note that the 1910 census reports that this is the second marriage for Henry.  This matches a marriage record found alater.  This reports a marriage between H F Long and Mattie Quinn in 1889, two years before Henry married Mary Harris.
