Francis M. Long was the youngest child and son of James and Nancy Long. James Long was a potter of Crawford County, Georgia; his business had been passed down to several of Francis's older brothers, including Jesse Bradford Long, the eldest child and son of James and Nancy Long.
Francis is listed as a jugmaker on the 1850 census at the age of 17, but did not remain on his parents' farm or continue with the family business.
Contrary to a DAR record of the Long Family, he did in fact marry. His first wife was Miss Elizabeth Neal; they married in 1852. At some time prior to 1860, Francis moved to Macon, GA and took a job with the old State Road as a Railroad Conductor, and he continued to work there throughout the War Between the States, eventually retiring from the railroad. Elizabeth Neal Long passed away in 1884. Francis remarried to a "Roxana" (maiden name unknown). He had one son by his first wife, Cicero Long. Francis died in 1902 of apoplexy. He was working as a night watchman for several businesses in Macon at the time. Francis was a long-standing Mason and had been baptized at the Primitive Baptist Church one week before his death.
