General Notes: Husband - John Long

---

He followed farming and lumbering, and trapped and hunted in the winter as long as his age would permit him to engage in such avocations. His family were noted for their great strength and powers of endurance. His wife, though a small woman, could stand in a half bushel and shoulder three bushels of wheat. Game was so plenty that in the first years of their married life Mr. Long would frequently go out and shoot a deer while his wife got breakfast. The Indians were frequent visitors but were always peaceable.

He and his wife were the parents of eight children, six of whom were still living in 1888.

General Notes: Wife - Jane Robinson

---

Her brother, Hance Robinson, had settled on the old Long farm in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and started a store in Pine Creek township. He brought his sister from her home in Indiana County to keep house for him, the journey being made on horseback through the unbroken forest. Soon after her arrival they made the acquaintance of the young pioneer, John Long, and their marriage followed the following spring.
