The record mistakenly indicates Edna was a 2-year-old white male. She and her mother were born in Texas. Her father was born in Alabama. She was listed as Edney. Her sister Ivy Lee was listed as Uler L. The next page of the census list shows the town of McDade so the family probably lived in the northern part of Bastrop County. No other Long families live nearby. Townsend families lived in the two houses next door. These are probably Edna's grandparents and uncle.
According to the 1880 U.S. census Edney Long lived in Justice Precinct No. 8, Bastrop County, Texas. Her relationship to head of the family was son. She was listed as a 2-year-old white male. Her birthplace was Texas. Her father's birthplace was Ala. Her mother's birthplace was Texas.
She is listed on penned page 20D in supervisor’s district 5, enumeration district 16 at line number 25, dwelling 135, family 129. The name of each person whose place of abode on 1st day of June, 1880 in this family were head George, 23, wife Sarah, 20, son Edney, 2, and daughter Uler L, 4/12.
