Land records of Orange Co., NC indicate that on 10 Aug 1778 Stephen Wilson entered a claim to 150 acres of land lying in Orange Co., on the west side of the Little River. Book III, page 142, Stephen Wilson, a weaver, from John Latta, a taylor, ___232, 1786, for L80 specie, 181 acres on Little River, granted by deed July 21, 1784. Also 235 acres adjoining.

Stephen Wilson was married to Sarah Elizabeth Latta and they had three children, Mary Wilson, b. abt. 1771, Anne Wilson, born abt. 1774, and John Wilson, born abt. 1779.

George Long, this foster son of William Craige evidently settled west of the Craig lands and in the neighborhood, and on the same land now owned by his descendants, and where some of the Long's still live. I do not know whom he married, nor how many children he had; but he had a son by the name of "George", who married Isabel Craig, a daughter of the aforesaid John Craig - son of William. The children of the union were: Anderson, Thomas and "George". This last named George married a Miss Latta, and their sons were Thomas, Robert, John and James D. The last named (James) still lives on the original lands, and perpetuates the name, and is a stance Presbyterian. This is the origin of the Long's in Orange County, N.C.

He was a prosperous merchant there and an Elder in the Fayetteville First Presbyterian Church, February 18, 1844. He went with his son, John Robert Latta, to Wilmington, N.C. in 1845. A more handful formed the original membership of the Wilmington Second Presbyterian Church. The record says conspicuous among them were John C. Latta and John R. Latta.  {"In Fayetteville he made an assignment of a business interest in trust to his cousin,  William Scarlett Latta". On this statement (1996 Note: I have know idea where it came from) this family was moved from branch No.15 to Branch No. 7, by Robert H Latta in the 1930's. But was he a 1st cousin or 2nd 3rd 4th ?.Also I have seen even today people of the same surname call each other cousin and not know if they are. This family seems to fit in this branch and so it will remain until I or some other finds a record that will prove it should be removed.}

The farm was sold to Fred Cummins after Vern's death. After he and Mable married, they farmed the George K. Hobson farm in Morgan county, until their move to Iowa in 1912. Arthur butchered and cut meat for Uncle Arthur Allen and Mable helped Aunt Sadie Wrightsman cook at the store. A 1910 fire had leveled the town of New Providence, so the stores were new when they arrived in 1912.

Went to the Gasburg School, and a couple of years at Monrovia HS. His step brother had a grocery, meat market, cafe in New Providence and Vern and Mable worked for them the first year in Iowa.

Children: Ronald. Notes for JESSE BERNIECE LATTA: No Fooling...Jessie McCracken turns 100 by Scott W. L. Daravanis...It was April 1 and the residents of Miller's Merry Manor in Mooresville were laughing, and singing, and having a grand ole time. It wasn't because someone got fooled by the "your shoe's untied" trick. They were celebrating the 100th birthday of their friend, Jessie McCracken. Nearly 75 family members representing five generations came from all over Indiana and Ohio to celebrate the historic day, even Jessie's 96-year-old "kid" sister. "I've had a real good birthday," Jessie said. "I've been going full speed ever since I got up this morning." Born Jessie Latta in 1893, she grew up in the Monrovia area and attended a one-room schoolhouse in Gasburg. In 1920, she married Bonnie Phillip McCracken, the brother of former Indiana University basketball coach Branch McCracken. Up until a couple of years ago, she lived on the McCracken family farm next to the current Monrovia High School. She said she is still a big Hoosier basketball fan, but she doesn't get to follow them much anymore. Because her hearing isn't as good as it used to be, she has to turn up the volume on the radio or television louder than normal and that bothers the other residents. Over 150 residents joined the family in a 100th birthday party Thursday afternoon. Jessie was showered with kisses, cards, balloons and flowers while the Mooresville Kitchen Band serenaded her for nearly an hour. "I've had a very happy day, " Jessie said. "I got a lot of phone calls before I got here." Jessie wouldn't say what she is going to do for an encore, on her 200th birthday. Obituary: Jessie B.

Thompson Latta, she was born April 1, 1893, at Gasburg. She married the late Bonnie McCracken on February 20, 1920. A homemaker, she was a member of Antioch Methodist Church. She is survived by a sister, Florence Hinson of Mooresville, and a granddaughter, Juanita McCracken of Indianapolis; a grandson, Ronald Jimmy McCracken, died three hours after she passed away.

McCracken; five sisters, Ethel Thompson, Mabel Hobson, Edith Ginther, Flossie Wallace and Jeanettie Blanche Holloway; two brothers, Glen "Brownie" Latta and Carl L.
