Jean,
The Baker Long Bible, as I have called it, is a loose four pages of a family Bible record now in the possession of a descendant of the Baker branch of Joseph Long's family. Joseph and Catherine Foster Long's second son, Henry, had a son named Joseph Blackburn Long. One of his daughters, Amelia Minerva, married a Baker. A great grand daughter of Minerva's has the old record. I have a photocopy of it. I had transcribed that record on one of my web pages:
