Brister circa 1900

I am looking for information on my grandfather's (William H. Brister) children from his first marriage. My grandfather lived in Shelby around 1900 before relocating to Arkansas. He and his first wife (Lucindy, remarried second marriage to Henry Barnes) had several children, but only six lived. They're names were:

Long(?) born 1878
Lylee 1884
Izella 1882
Ardie Mae 1889
Lucindy 1893
Benjamin 1897

My father only knew half of his half siblings; Izella, Lylee and Benjamin. Of the half siblings he knew, none of them had children. Long (as her name appears on the 1900 census, I couldn't understand my Grandfather's handwriting from the family bible, it appears that "Long" is short for something else.) was married in 1904. The family bible doesn't say to whom. Uncle Ben used to visit "his sister and his nieces" in Mississippi
back in the 1940s or 1950s if not both, but never mentioned who he visited by name. I know that none of my aunts are still alive, but I strongly believe that some of their children are. They would probably be elderly, but I still believe that some of them are alive.

Any information on any of these folks, would be greatly appreciated.
