Answer 1

I see Cinnea already pinned down the 1910 census, which I was getting ready to post. Cool.

However, the full image has some interesting issues.. it shows Kizzy with the Long surname, and daughter to Joshua.. but it also indicates that she is married.  That is a challenge.

You didn't indicate if you have her death date, or if you have tried to find a death certificate for her.

The above Kizzy is the only one in Union co, so I think she has the right lady.

Answer 2

Kizie is certainly an unusual name! I even double checked the image to see if it could be Lizzie, but it is definitely a K.

There is a Kizie Lang, 5 years old in 1900:

Name:  Kizie m Long

Kizie m Long 5

And then in 1910:

Estimated Birth Year: abt 1894

Birthplace: Tennessee

Relation to Head of House: Daughter

Father's Name: Jashua {Joshua}

The parents names are different, but it is likely that it is the same family. On the 1900 census, both parents had J as their middle initial. And, in fact, Marin J., Anna J., Joseph and Alice Long are all living in Maynardsville, Union Co., TN in 1920, ten years older, and Maynardsville is described on the census images as "New District 4."

Ancestry has TN marriage records, which shows Kizzey Long and Charley Cooper were married in Maynardsville, Union Co. April 9, 1910. Joshua or Jashua Long married Josephine Dial on March 16, 1893, also in Maynardsville (likely Kizzie's parents). My conclusion is that her parents were likely Joshua Martin Long and Anna Josephine Dial of Union Co., TN (or some form of those names).
