Shows he is the father of William Long.3Notes.
Note: Thomas Long settled in Indiana Co reportedly in 1817. If this is true
then it is doubtful that William Long was born 31 Oct 1819 in Ireland. Need to check on this. (It seems that the 1817 date was a little premature). Ruth Bingham had recorded Thomas Long died 10 Feb 1875 age 72. This would be an estimated birth year of 1803. (This would not be correct so it must have been an approximate date.).4Caldwell, History of Indiana County, Page 448, Indiana Historical Society, Indiana, Pennsylvania.
