Birthplace
I disambiguated Allen Township, Pennsylvania to link to Lower Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, but this may not be correct. At the time Longnecker was born (1820), Allen Township was a single township in Cumberland County. But in 1850, it was split into Upper and Lower Allen Townships. I tried to find more details of his birth location, and ran across a [https://books.google.com/books?id=jbJGAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA23&lpg=PA23&dq=%22Henry+Clay+Longnecker%22+mechanicsburg&source=bl&ots=_Egrk9OjH6&sig=OmP3mFL_rdTucuV_xvQ3KsbBRQo&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjnxZvCocnJAhXLsoMKHd3fBcoQ6AEIGzAA#v=onepage&q=%22Henry%20Clay%20Longnecker%22%20mechanicsburg&f=false source] or [https://books.google.com/books?id=148pAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA352&lpg=PA352&dq=%22Henry+Clay+Longnecker%22+mechanicsburg&source=bl&ots=CQGHTxD8vq&sig=5CgcQvMqgcurb0GBydPVK-Lqs-U&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjnxZvCocnJAhXLsoMKHd3fBcoQ6AEIHjAB#v=onepage&q=%22Henry%20Clay%20Longnecker%22%20mechanicsburg&f=false two] that said he was born near Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. But it turns out that Mechanicsburg [http://mechanicsburgborough.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Street-Map.pdf borders BOTH] Allen Townships.
I leave it to editors with better references to pin down the right location. — Gorthian (talk) 07:56, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
