Long Family of Longs Mill near Liberty,
Randolph County, NC
Posted by: Katherine Dick Benbow Date: May 29, 2004
I am posting this here, in addition to the
Randolph County page, as there may be those who would be interested. I have not researched this family in depth, and so I will not promise you that this information is complete or totally accurate. And I do need to make a trip to
Randolph County to get some records on them. This Long family moved to NC as Quakers. They belonged for a while to the
Cane Creek Meeting in SW Orange County, but they actually lived "over the line" in an area that became part of Guilford County in 1771 and then became part of
Randolph County in 1785. The known family line starts with James Long of New York, and his son John Long, who married first Mary
CLARK and then Mary
Wilson. John is buried at
Cane Creek Meeting in what is now Chatham County, NC. His grave marker is shown on their website.
A man that some call John Long, Jr., is actually Dr. John Wesley Long. He was born in 1785 in Loudoun County,
Virginia, a son of John Long and his first wife Mary
CLARK. Dr. John Wesley Long married Sabra Shepherd "Sibby" Ramsey of Fayetteville, Cumberland County, NC.
