DRUMORE TOWNSHIP
THE LONG FAMILY OF 3^X39X35X3® LMIC ASTER COUJTTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
Tho section of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, lying between Conestoga
Manor and the present line of Maryland, and contiguous txas part a of Lhe
latter province, aa well as adjoining parts of Chester and New Castle
counties, was largely settled by Ulster Scots, commonly known as "Scotch-
Irish", though the latter name is somewhat of a misnomer, and resented bj
many of the best informed of their descendants. Thoy were in no sense
Irish, though coming to Pennsylvania from that ooxintry. The troublous
times in Scotland, resulting from civil and religious strife, augmented
by jealousy and local strife between rival clans, drove a great number
of Scots to settle in the Province of Ulster, North Ireland, in the last
quarter of the seventeenth century. From here between the years 1710,
and 1750, vast numbers of them cane to Pennsylvania, and settled prinoips
ly in colonies, made up to a great extent of families more or less relate
to each other. Thin 4^ true of nearly all the Scotch-Irish settlements
A
in different parts of Pennsylvania,
The principal ports of landing of these Ulster Soots were Philadelphia
and New Castlie. Most of those landing at the former place, settling up
the vacant lands in upper and central Bucks, and northern Chester County,
with isolated families in Philadelphia, now Montgomery County. The Bucks
settlers pushing northward into what is now Lehigh and Northampton Countj
Those landing at New Castle, however, foiind homes in Delaware, the a'aSt
em shore of Maryland, and the southern part of Pennsylvania, now compriE
ing the counties of Lancaster and York, and portions of New London and
Nottingham townships in Chester Co^jnty. From these points they pushed
and expanded westward and northward, and with the adventurous sprirt of
their race, became the vanguard of of the army of settlers which rabidly-

peopled the wilderness west of the Susquehannah, and aoon pressed over*
and
the Allegenys into Fayette^^ Westmoreland ooTinties, and a generation later,
on to the Ohio, and the "Dark and Bloody Groimd to its southward, as well
as do\vn the eastern slope of the Alleghenys into Virginia, and the Carolinas,
The earliest expansion was not along parallel lines, but more in the na-
ture of waves ofi a sandy beach, in cescent foinu, and on lines of the least
resistance, up against the mountains in nearly a half circle, with the
neighborhood of New Castle or the head of the Chesapeake as the centre of
its base. One camwk look at the map of Pennsylvania and note in the shape ^
of the southern-central counties, the successive advances made in this form
by these waves of migration, westward and northwestward, l^at is trae
of the genearal migration from this early settlement is also true of hhe
family under consideration, hence this digression.
Historians differ as to the date of the first setllement of the regiion
bordering on the Susquehannah in the present county of Lancaster, in lihe
valleys of it tributaries the Octarora, Pequea and Connestogoe, by the Ulst-
er Scots, Sorao place it as early as 1700, and some even earlier, but the
truth probably is that very few if any of them arrived before 1710, add no
general Colony of them prior to 1720 or 1725; the latter being the dates
at which the Scotch-Irish began to arrive in any great numbers in Pennsylvan!
ia. That they did settle in this section before the bounds of the lands
acquired from the Indians were definitely settled and before the land of-
fice was established for their survey, is a well-lcnov/n fact. For this reas-
on it is almost impossible to ascertain from civil records the exact date
of their settlement, and in many cases the names of the first settlers.
By a system then in vogue actual settlers acquired a title to their "im-
provement", which was often the only title except that of possession which

- S -
they wver held. It being an inheritable right, the lands passed to their
heirs, who later took out warrants of survey, paid the arrearages of quit-
rent and received a patent. ,i^uch of lihe land held by the Long family in
the townships of Drumore, Little Britain and Martick, Lancaster county,
was patented at different periods from 1737 to 181!;?. Many large tracts
contiguous to each other being surveyed and patented for the first time
between the years 1795 arid IBIO; whereas it is a well-known fact that
all the land in that section had been taken up and actually settled long
before the Revolutionary War. The only explantation of this fact is,
that it was in the possession of the family one, two, and three genera-
tions before a fee title was aot^^ally confirmed in regular form. In many
oases there was doubtless transfers of Warrants of Survey, representing
definite locations, and in most cases surveys returned into the Surveyor-
General's office, but no patent issued by the commissioners of property,
either through careleaslness of the purchaser or failure or inability to
pay the entire purchase price.
Tradition relates that the first American ancestor of the Long family
under consideration, was ROBERT LONG, who came to the Pequea Valley in
1638. That this Robert took up land there which descended to his sons
H-ugh and John, the latter dying without issue, and the former being the
father of John, James and Robert Long, and their sisters, Martha Brother-
ton, Elizabeth Watson, and Isabel Long, the latter the wife of V/illiam
Long. These being the first of the family in which we are interested of
whom we have any definite, authentic and clear record. Tradition alsp
relates that Robert Long, the first had a daughter Margaret, who married
the father of Robert rulton, of steamboat fame, or at least some near
relative of his. We have not been able to verify this however, though

it doec5 appear that Robert Pulton, the first was closely associated with
the Long family in Dmmore, and one James Pulton, (said to have been a son
of Samuel and Elizabeth (Ste^mrt) Fulton, of Donegal, Lancaster county,)
who died about 1760, married Margaret, whose naiden name is said to have
been Long, and had sons, Samuel, john, Hugh, and James.
A diligent seacch of land warrants, surveys and patents at Harrisburg,
and of deeds, wills, church and other records in Lancaster and Chester
Ooxmty, fail to bive us any definite evidence of the existence of a
Robert Long, of sufficient antiquity, to have been the grandfather of John
Long, the "sickle-maker", of Drutnoro, bom 1726.
The same is nearly true of Hugh, as a possible father. However, some-
body seems to have owned the land taken up by warrants of survey, by the
said Long and other cotemporary members of the family before it was ao
taken upj and in a deed made by the heirs of John Long, the "sickle-maker"
for land in Martick township in ISOO, is recited the grant to him of 137
Acres, by patent from "Thomas and Richard Penn, Proprietaries, &c, dated
September 3,1739", in which both the adjoinirJ^ landowners named in that
patent and those then holding said lands is given. And adjoining this
tract on the west was the tract of John Long's brother Robert Long of
Martic^ township who died in 1306. This tract is referred to in the
heirs' deed as "Hugh Long, now Robert Long's", though a search of its
title shows that it was surveyed to Robert on Tyarrant of Survey issued
to Robert, dated Axigust 11,1767. This is the only tangible evidence of
the existence of a Hugh Long as the father of the family with which the
authentic record of this family begins, namely, John Long, the sickle
maker and his brothers and sisters, six in number.
LONG FAMILY OF DRUMORE T01/TO3HIP, LANCASTER COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.
BY WARREN S. ELY.
There was however a Hugh Long in Drumore township, who on April 18,
1759, assigned to his brother John Long, of the same place "all right
and possession, claim and demand, of and in all that certain tract ofl.
land and plantation whereon said Hugh Long dwells, situate in DrxJinore
township, joining lands of William j4y©3on, Edward Brine, - - - Green,
Weedow Ball, Charles Harrow, Jeremiah Smith and John Reed." The contents
of this tract is not given in the assignment, which is entered of record
in the office of the Recorder of Deeds &c. at Lancaster, No deed a^ears
of record by John Long, in which the assignment is recited.
By plotting out the different tracts surveyed to the several members
of the Long family in Martick and Drumore township it is foimd that in
most cases they represent the parts of larger tracts apparently divided
by an amicable arrangment, not of record and surlieyed and patented to
different individuals, members of the same family.
The names of the brothers and sisters of John Long the sickle maker are
ascertained from the will of Rev. James Long his brother probated in 1803
which, the testator dying childless, devises legacies to his brother's
and sisters and their children. Among these legates is a sister Isabel
t
Long, wife of William Long of Martck township, who was doutless a cousin,
A
and received through his wife, an allotment of the land in Martlck town-
ship, evidently descending from a common ancestor, on which William and
Isabel executed a mortgage to James the brother of Isabel in 1770.
Tradition further relates that the original settlement of Robert Long,
the traditional grandfather, was in the ^KaaoaJC limits of Little Britain
township, probably that part now included in Pulton township, Drumore, one
of the original townships of Lancaster Coimty, organized August 5,17??9,
orginally extended from the Maryland line on the south to the Pequea Creek

on the north and from tlae Susquehannah on the West* to the West Branch
of the Octarora on the east. Little Britain was out off the southern
side in 1730, comprising the present townships of Fulton and Little Brit-
ain. Drumore, the name derived from "Drum Moir" signifying a great ridge,
a strong fortified place in County Down, Ireland, was originally settled
by the Scotch Ir^h, '•as early as 1700", says Evans in his History of Lan-
caster. No prodftf has however been adduced of any settlement there at
that period, and while there may havebeen isolated settlers there earlier
«
|t3 actual settlement by the Scotch-Irish who gave it the name and fovmd-
ed Mm there the Presbyterian Church of Drumore, now Chestnut Level, was
much more likely about the year 1725 or a little later.
The earliest tax lists quoted by Evans is 1755, and on that of Drumore
for that year appears the names of Patrick Long, Hugh Long, John Long,
Robert Long, William Long, "living with John Long", Jotm Ward, "living with
Hugh Long", and Claude Long, "living with Patrick Long. A gat rick Long
lies buried at Chestnut Level, hia tombstone bearing the inscription,
SHere lieo the bod;y of Patrick Long who departed this life
October 10,1741" or "1747".
The year is somewhat illegible and it is impossible to determine whether,
it was intended or 1741 or 1747, the upward stroke of the figure "1" in
the old style may have been intended for a "7". This (^s the oldest ia-
sription in the name of Long, though it is stated that the family were
among the founders of the church in 1730. The tax list of 1759, gives
"Hugh Long, living on John Long's land" 100 acres; "#©kH Long, Taylor".
"Jol-m Long, Smith" and "John Long, Tavern Keeper", That of 1760 adds to
these "Cloude Long" 30 acres; Hugh Long, without land; and William Long,
without land; Robert Long being taxed for lOO acres; John Long, Smith for
I'^O acres; and another John Lonn- r "^^■wii ^ vS" <^^-^--^-a. ■

All of these are accoianted for in surveys, deeds, wllla or subsequent
tax lists, except Patrick Long, the appearance of whose name on tax
lists many years after his death we are unable to account for. Claudius
Long, was taxed for 150 acres fn Dnmore in 1771 and 1773, and for a
like quantity of land in Franks town, Huntingdon County in 1788.
The Robert Long, mentioned on all three of the tax lists above quoted
was not of the direct line of John Long the sickle maker. He received
a warrant o£ survey for land in Druinore and Little Britain, XKacKzisxiX^
tXiS^ January !?7,174B, and purchased the right of William Mclntyre in
a warrant dated March 18,1745, and on 1749, there was surveyed to
hira in right of these two warrants, 183 acres on Peter's Creek, a draft
of which is on file and recorded at Harrlsburg, a copy of which is here-
to attached. It was resurveyod May 2,1770, and he by will dated March
9,1795, devised it to his son Robert, who on April 17,1302, conveyed it
to James Hambleton, of Solebury, Bucks County, who settled thereon. This
will proved L'arch 25,1799, mentions his sons William and James as being
already provided for; names sons Stephen and Joseph, daughters, Martha
wife of James MacPherson; Mary, wife of William Long; Elinor and Margar-
et Long. The will of Elenor Long, the daughter who died unmarried in 1811,
gives us further details In reference to the family. William Long, the
son-in-law married Mary Long, at St. Jsjnes P. E. Church, Lancaster, KsyxtS,
Xa^^ August 12,1790, and another William Long, presumably the son martied
at the same church >'.ay 19,17o9, Jane Grimes. Stephen Long was likewise
married at the same church, June 11, 1788, Catharine Atkinson. The wide
range of dates of marriage would indicate that there were two lota ofy
children. Robert was Joined in the conveyance of 1802, by wife Catharine.

John Long, mentioned as "Tavern Keeper" on the tax list of 1759, was
a 3on of another John Long of Drumore, who died intestate in 1744, leav-
ing a widow Kary, who d>n March 5,1746/7, applied to the Orphans* Court
of Lancaster County, for a division of his estate and the appointment
of guardians for his children. John DeHuff was appointed guardian of
the three minor children, Ann, Margaret and Elizabeth, and the estate
was distributed to the widow,(;0ois8i "the eldest son", evidently onlv son,
and to da-aghters, Mary, Catharine, Ann, Margaret and Elizabeth.
XHxiXXa A warrant of survey was granted to John Long, December 1,1742
by virtue of which there was surveyed to him March 22,1743/4, 66 acres
of land in Drumore township, but whether this was the father or son j
is problematical, probably the son, since in 177B, John the son also died
intestate and his son John Long aplied for partition of the 66 acres of
which his father h-d died seized, to the Orphans 'Court held January 3,1779.
This resulted in the appointment of James Long of Martiok township, as
guardian of Baxter and James Long, minor children over fourteen years of
ago; and of John Long,Sr. of Drumore, as guardian of Martha and Patrick
Long, minor children over fourteen. The guardians being respectively. Rev.
James Long, and his brother John Long, the sickle maker, of the family
with which this narrative is specially interested. Thus strongly indica-
ting a close relationship, and the appearance of the name of Patrick among
children suggesting the possibility of not probability of the Patrick^ Long
of 1741 or 1747, as a common ancestor. The widow John the intestate, Mar-
jjaret married John Turbit, prior to January 12,1779, on which date, sfee,
with her second husband executed the following quaint renunciation of dower
rights in the property of her first husband, John Long.

Proved by the affidavit of Moses Irwin, Esq. mark
before John Hubley Esq. May 14,1779.
As a result of this renunciation and the petition of the son before
noted, the pna^ia 66 acres were adjudged to John Long, the eldest son
and distribution of the proceeds made equally between the widow,Margaret
Torbet, except that John was awarded two shares as eldest son txnder the
then Intestate laws. In addition to the four minors above mentioned,
one share went to "Robert Long and Isabel his wife" without any state-
ment as to which was the child of the intestate. The inference however
would be that Isabel was the heir, otherwise her name would not have
been mentioned. If this be so we are unable to place her husband Robefct
Long. Isabel being the second child, and of age in 1779, while the ne±t
younger was a minor, was probably bom about 1750 to 1755, too young to
have been the wife of Robert Long of Poter's Creek above mentioned who
names no wife in his will in 1795, though he probably had two. Neither^
does Robert Long, the yoxjngest brother of John the Sickle-maker, name
any wife in his will in 1B06. Neither perpetuated the name of Isabel,
Robert may have been the son of William Long of Drumore hereafter men-
tioned. The will of Isabella Long, of Chanceford township, York County,
just across the SusquehaniiaJi from Di'umora, dated Jeinuary 50,1814, pro-
bated Octdber 19, 1817, mentions children, John, Elizabeth, Hugh, Martha,
and George, and a granddaughter Isabel Long, daughter of John, Hu,r:h Long
is named as executor.

The Willian Long, mentioned in the tax list of Drumore 1756, as living
with John Long,waa probably the William Long who married Isaiel Long,
sister of Rev. James, and John the sickle-maker. There was however a
William Long who died in Drumore, leaving a will dated Sept 3, 1778, and
proved March 23,1799, that we are unable to identfy with the William
of Martick township, husband of Isabel, from the fact that when William
of Martic sold his farm there in 1775, his residence was given as
Guildford township, Cumberland County. It is of course possible that
he may have returned to Drumore. The will mentions no wife. It devises
his plantation to his son John for life, then his, John»B,son William.
To another son Robert, he devises ten pounds. James Morrison, and
Reverend Samson Smith, the pastor of Chestnut Level^ci^re mentioned as
Executors.
A John Long married Martha Culbertson, at St. James P.E. Church,

JOHN LONG, of Drutnore township, Lancaster County, the eldest of three
brothers said to have been the sons of Htigh Long, and grandsons of
Robert Long, was bom in the year 17S6, as shown by his tomstone on the
old graveyard at Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church, in the township in
which he lived and of which he was many years an elder. On June 14,
1755, he purchased of Joseph Irwin a tract of 173 acres in Drumore town-
ship, which Irwin had purchased of William Craig by deed dated Fay 4,1743,
and which had been granted to Craig by John, Thomas and Richard Penn.
John Long also received a patenTfrom the Penns for 137 acres and allow-
ance, in llartick to^mship, dated September 8,1769, adjoinging lands of
Hugh Long, and others, which he likewise owned until his death. On his
Drumore homestead he erected a sickle-making factory which he conducted
until his death and the business was continued by his sons and grandsons,
there and in several other localities. The site of the old sickle factory
is still visible on the homestead plantation now occupied by Ms great-
great-grandson William Long,
John Long evidently took an active part in public affairs in his native
or at least resident totmship. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War
he was one of the foremost patriots of his section, and was Selected as
the representative of his township in the Lancaster County Committee of
Safety, in 1775, He also saw active military service, being enrolled as
a member of Captain Well's Company, Colonel Thomas Porter's Battalion,
which, when the enrollment of the battallion was made August 13, 1776, was,
"On t»ho Itiaroh for the Jerseys" to support General Washington in his at-
tac'^ on Howe on Long Island, Evans in his History of ^fe©»^©*» Lancaster
Cotinty, says he was a Captain in the Revolutionary War, but of this we
have no record. He was however a member of Captain John Caldwell's Company

Ei/ans in his History of Lancaster County also otates that John Long
was a member of the state Legislature.
John Long, Sr, of Drumore tovsnship was appointed guardian for Martha
and Patrick Long, minor children of John Long, in 1778.
John Long married about 1762, Mary Helm, who surrived him nearly a
half century dying November 16,1832 at the age of ninety-seven years.
She is supposed to have been a daughter of Henry and Rebecca Helm, for
some years residents of Drumore township, but later of the town of Lan-
caster. Henry Helm was surety on several marriage license bonds in
Lancaster County, in 1758, and in 1763, On November 7,1762, he purchased
Great
a tract of land"on the &i?®^ Conestoga Creek, near Lancaster"
1767,
whic^with his wife Rebecca he conveyo in/^1773, and 1776, their resid-
ence in these deeds being given as the Borough of Lancaster, and his w£"
cupation as SS "Inkeepor" in 1773, and "Cordwainer" in 1777, the deed
of the latter date being for property of "Adam Skellin, former husband
of Rebecca, now the wife of said Henry Helm."
John Long died on his Drumore plantation about September 1,178-9^ leav-
ing a will which he had dictated to Rev. James Latta, pastor of Chestnut
Level Presbyterian Church, but which he failed to sign, becoming to weak
with his fatal sickness by the time it was completed. The will is as

John and Mary (Helm) Long, had J:^ children who survived them, another
Henry Long, died at the age of 13 years, August lo,1776, a little over
two weeks before the birth of their fifth son, whom they also named
Henry Long. The feeH children in the order of their birth as near as
can be ascertained were as follows ;-
Hugh Long, born 1762, died 1832, married Ann Irwin,
Henry Long, bom 1763, died A.ixgust 13,1776, buried at Cheatnut Level.
John Long, who was living in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, April 2,
1800, when he Joined in the deed for the conveyance of his father's
plantation in Hartick, township. His occupation as given in that
deed was "Cutler", from which we are to infer that he was follow-

The John Long homestead in Drumore township Lancaster County, the site
of the sickle factory, does not seem to have been the property of the
Long family vmtil purchased by John Long of Joseph Irwin and liary his
wife by deed dated January 14,1755. Joseph Irwin had purchased it of
John,
William Craifl and wife. May 4,174-3, and it wao granted to Craig, byy^Thom-
as and Richard Penn, Proprietarieo etc. at a date not giren in the recital
but a warrant of surrey granted to William Creag; February 15,1739, for
150 acres in Lancaster county, was probably the foundation of the surrey
of the 173 acres and allowance, which he conveyed to Joseph Irwin in 1743.
John Long by his will dated July 30,1783, directed that his wife Mary
her
should have the use and profits of his plantation during Uss life or wid-
owhood, and it would seem that ibhe made it her home until her death on
November 15,1832, probably with her unmarried son. Dr. George Long, as
after her death letters of administration de bonus non, cum testament© an-
nexe, were granted to her grandson James B. Long, who sold the property
at public sale on December 22,18?.2, and it was purchased by Dr. George '
Long, for ;f9.1G 1/2 per acre, and a deed was made to him by James B, iong,

REV. JAMES LONG, of Martick toTOiship, Lancaster CoiJiity, brother of John
Long, of Drumore, the sickle-maker, was bom, as shown by a memorana of
his birth written by hic^self in a book still in the possession of the
family Jtine 22,1755. He figures in the history of the family in various
capacities, but little information personal to himself has been gathered.
A mortgage is made to him in 1770, by William Long of/ljartiok township,
and Isabel, his wife, presiaraably his brother-in-law and sister on two
tracts of land in Martick toimship, which he later satisfies. He and
VJilliam Long were members of Captain James Morrison's Company, mustered
August 13,1776, in Col. Thomas Porter's Lancaster County, Battalion; or
rather "a" James and William Long were, since James and Robert Long, were
members of Captain James Watson's Company in the same battallion, at the
same date. James Watson being a brother-in-law, it is more probable Lhat
the latter were the Drumore brothers. The first mentioned ifames and Will-
iam Long may have been the sons of Robert Long of Peters Creek, before
mentioned. Rev. James Long was named as guardian for Baxter and James
Long, sons of John Long of Drumore, January 6,1779, his brother John being
named for two other of the children of the same decedent.
James Long was licensed by the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia, in
1763# but where he had charge of a church we have not been able to learn.
He settled the estate - f his brother John Long as administrator with the

Elizabeth Long, the sister mentioned in the will of Rer, James Long,
married Captain Jamea Y/atson, who was conmiSGioned one of the captains
of Colonel Thomas PorterSs Battalion, in the Flying Camp, which company
was inspected and passed by the Committee of Observation and Inspection
of Lancaster County, August 13,1776, and took up its march "for the Camp

1776, as shown by a sworn statement of the Lieutenant John Patton, of
the losses of blankets, gi^ns and other equipment in the battle, the prop-
erty of its individual members for which a claim of payment was made.
Among the losers was Captain James Watson himself. Jamea and Robert Long,

went out at the same time in the sarce battalion.

ISABEL LOIIG, the sister mentioned in the will of Rev. Jamec Long,
was without doubt the wife of William Long of llartick township, whom she
Joined in a mortgage given to Rev. James Long, on July J57,1770, on two
very irregularly shaped tracts of land, one of 71 1/4 acres on Hartiok
township and extending over the line into Drumore, and the other of
142 3/4 acres in rrvunore tovmship. The first of these tracts had been
conveyed to William Long, April 17,1770 by john McDowell afld :.iary his
wife, and had b«Ti granted to McDowell by the Penns Septeciber 28,1751.
No account of how the 142 s/4 acres in Drumore was acquired is given
but there is little doubt that the title was in Isabel Long, the wife,
otherwise she would not have joined in the mortgage. Both the tracts
were sold by '.Yilliam Long to George Hess in 1775, and the mortgage given
by Hess to William Long dafed May 17,1775, gives the latter* s residence
as "Guildford to^vnshlp, Cumberland Co\anty, Pennsylvania." iixu Guilford
toT/hship became part of Franklin County on its organization out of Cum-
berla-nd in 1784. It is somewhat significant that we find John Long, son
Jolin, aiid nephew of Isabel, in Franlclin county in 1800, when his fath-
er's real estate was conveyed.N Nothing is known of the descendants of
William and Isabel Long. f^u \ O/WU^ dt^mi] ^^^^^ hvyecl ^^^^ QCa^ '- i^i^ai/KA
Neither have we been able to determine the ancestry of William Long

ROBERT LONG, the yoimgest of the brothers of John Long, the sickle maker,
died in Martick township, Lancaster County, in 1806, "aged 63 years" as
recorded on his tyomstone at Chestnut Level Churchyard.
By vit?tue of a warrant dated March 24,1795, for 180 acres, there was
surveyed to him 167 acres and 6V perches of land in Martick to^vnship, a
draft of which on file at Harrisburg shows that it adjoined a tract of
land marked "Hugh Long". This tract surveyed by virtue of a warrant dated
Aiigust 11,1757, for 230 acres, adjoined the tract patented to John Long,
tKe sickle maker in 1739, sjid in the latter patent is described as adjoin-
ing "Hugh Long, now Robert Long", This latter tract was not patented
to Robert Long in his lifetinie, but in 1814, 196 acres and 6r perches
thereof, surveyed to Robert Long, Hay 29,1795, was patented to james B.
Long, and John Buchanan, the administrators of his son Hugh Long.
Robert Long, with his brother James was a private in the company of liheir
brother-in-law Captain, later Colonel jamos Ylataon, in the Flying Camp,
and participated with it in the battle of Long Island August 27, 1776. He
took the Oath of Allegiance before Jolin Porter, Plsq. May 25,1777.
Robert Long was the principal legatee under the will of his brother
Reverend James Long, he and his children inheriting the greater part of
June 15,1806' June 16,1806,
the estate. The will of Robert, dated litXEBfexayiZ^, probated KKXBkx2S,

share of his father's estate, and directs the payment of the shares thereof
to his sisters ilarta and Margaret, ejnd devises the residue of his estate
to his wife Ilary, and a child unhom. A deed dated April 17,1010, by Hary
Long, of Lower Paxtan?^, Dauphin Coiinty, widow of John Long of Ifartick towr
ship, Lancaster county, and Hugh Long of Martick, brother of the said John
recites the will of Robert Long the father, in I8O0, and the death of the
unborn child referred to in the v/ill of John, and conveys the 167 acre
tract to Robert Coleman and Edv/ard Brlen of Martick Forge, Ironmasters,
Hugh Long, the other son died intestate and letters of his admlnistoa-
tion were granted in ini4, to James Long and John Buchanan, son and son-
in-law of John Long, the 3ickle maker, to whom the other tract surveyed
to Robert Long was patented, and by them sold under order of the Orphans'
Court. Hugh was evidently unmarried as no wife joined in the deed of 1310.
He was biiried at Chestnut Level, where his toinstone records the date of
his death an September 23,1311, and his age as 40 years.
His brother John Long was also buried there, "died October 9,1808, aged
32 years."
Thus neither of the brothers of john Long the sickle maker left
surviving issue, and the only male descendants of Hftgh Long, Sr. bearing
the name are the possible descendants of his -daughter Isabel, sniA wifeof
VJilliara Long, and those of Jolm and ITary (Helm) Long, an account of whom

HUGH LONG, eldest son of Johia and Mary (Helm) Long, 'born in 17i32, died
in 1332. He was also a aiokle maker, and spent his whole life in Drumore
township, Lancaster Ooiinty, By the will of his father in 1783 he was de-
visedxkszis the set of tools, anvil, bellows etc. he now occupies and uses,
and he probably continued his trade in the old sickle shop for so;ne years.
He acquired a tract of land adjoining his father's homestead in Drumope,
which was annKXHysiSxt patented to him March 23,1812, though he had owned
and occupied it at least three years prior to this date, as shown by the
draft of an adjoining tract surveyed to him by virtue of a warrant datfed
December 1003, It is probably that the first tract was the land 4)f which
his grandfather Hugh Long Sr. assigned an interest therein to his brother
John in 1759, Tradition relates that this brother John died without issue,
and under the ancient intestate law, prior to 1794, the real estate of
an intestate who died without issue descended to the eldest brother or
the eldest son of an elder brother entire, and it may have been the orig-
inal homestead of the family in Drumore, Sure it is that it could not
have lam vacant xiiitll patented to Hugh Long In 1812, that grant being
made solely to colper deficiences in former title held by his predecessors
whether of the blood or not. Another papent^ was made to him May 23,1812,
for 123 aci^es also adjoining the John Long homestead, making his total
holdings as given in the patents 278 acres and allowance of six per cent
for highways, viz Survey of December 1803, 75 acres and 70 perches; patent
of ilarch £5,1812, 175 acres, and Patent of May 23,1812,128 acres. The

the said Hugh Long then dwelt to their tfeXKa sons, Janes Long and Robert

profitable to follow their vocation elsewhere, John going to Franklin Coxin-
ty, Pennsylvania, and James to Frederick Coxmty, Maryland, He however re-
turned to Drumore township in 1808, smd purchased on March 24th of that

of which there was surveyed to him 142 acres and 136 perches in Drumore

LONG, - 31 -
ROBERT LONG,»e¥«H^fe eighth child and fifth son of John and Hary (Helm)
Long, (if we include the son Henry, who died in boyhood), was bom in
Druraore township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, August 16,1774, and
was therefore but nine years of age at the death of his father. He
doubtless received the education prescribed in his father's will for
his XusKiHXEkiiiiEaKxshsii in the following clause, "It is my will that
while she (the wife Llary) continues my widow, all my children should
live and continue with her until they come of age, marry or go to learn i
some trade, during which time it is ray will that she enjoy the benefits
of their industry in order to enable her to maintain, clothe and educate
them so that my male childrenLhall be able to read and write and tinder-
stand ^he Common Rule of Arithmetic, emd the females to read and write."
He evidently chose to learn his father's trade, and succeeded his
elder brothers James and John in the use of the shop, on their coming
of age, under the provisions of the will, as ^^was still in Drumore
in 1800, at which date we flnjLhoth the elder brothers removed to other
counties at that date; while the two« younger sons, Henry and George,
toj^k the other provision of the same clause and sought other vocations
at the age of sixteen years.
According to the records of Fayette County, and the family record,
however he began to look about for another location than his native
county and tovmship, on coming of age in 1795, and in the Pall of 179a,
purchased a plantation of Thomas Ball, on George's Creek, in Spring Hill
to^.mship, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the section long claimed and '
originally settled under viginia Patents. He did not however, locate
there until at least a year later, but continued to work at his trade
i?mmm^l.%LYT''^'^ totoship, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.
Long, - 32
of a sickle raaker in Dr>umore, Lancaster County, According to family Ma-
tory he erected his sickle factory on George's Creek in the "Fall of 1797"
"converting the old log griat mill built by ^7illiam Griffin, into a s^t-
able building for that purpose, where he manufactured sickles on a lagge
scale, using the water power to run a trip-hammer, grindstones, turning
lathes, etc." In the absence of authentic records to the contrary itw
would be safer to asauine that his removal to Fayette County, was three
years later. His residence is clearly given in the deed of April 2,1800,
as "Driraore townahlp, Lancaster County," and occupation, "Cutler". The
means v;ith which to improve his new purchase was probably derived from
this partial settlement of his father's estate, and another corroboration
of the date is the return of his brother James to Drumore about isoi or
inor', to set himself in the sickle making business, doubtless taking the
shops vacated by Robert at the old homestead until his own purchase in
190P. In 1803, Robert Long purchased additional land in Spring Hill,
tov-Tiship, Fayette County. In 1B04, he erected a grist and flour mill e
across the creek from his sickle factory, and in 1807 erected a brick
house on his plantation, the first to be erected in southern Fayette Coun-
ty. He was an industrious, frugal, and enterprising ma^, and raet with suc-
cess in his business undertakings, and reared a large family of children.
He was active in the twmperanco cause, and a public spirited citizen, and
a God-fearing Christian gentleman.
Robert Long married December 89, 1802,^ Jean Harah, who was born in Ros-
traver township, neSS. West Newton, on the Youghiogheny river, April 9,1?'^2,
soon after the settlement of her parents, Charles and Wargaret (GilcnS^t )
A
in that township. The birthplace of Char#les Harrah is unknown. His wid-

a resident of Little Britain township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, un-
til the breaking out of the Revolutionary War, He was taxed for 150 acres
in Little Britain in 1771; for 200 acres in 1772j and for 300 acres in 1773.
The other tax lists for the period prior to the Revolution do not seem to
have been preserved,
Charles Harrah, was a private in Captain Robert Campbell's Company,
in Colonel Thomas Porter's Battallion, Lancaster Coxxnty 2{ilitia, which
company, "Destined for the Camp in the Jersys", was "mustered and passed
by the Committee of Observation and Inspection of Lancaster County, on the
Fifth
15th Day of Axigust 1776," See Penna. Archives 6©e©Hel Series vol. VII, page

later, and with# ofther companies of the Flyv^g Camp, and Associated Bat-
taiiions, was disbanded in the Fall of 1775 or Spring of 1777. Charles
