General Notes: Husband - Robert Long

---

Tradition relates that the first American ancestor of the Long family under consideration, was ROBERT LONG, who came to the Pequea Valley, Pennsylvania, in 1688. This Robert Long took up land there which descended to his sons Hugh and John.

Tradition relates that the original settlement of Robert Long was in the limits of Little Britain township, probably that part later included in Fulton township. Drumore, one of the original townships of Lancaster County, organized August 5, 1729, orginally extended from the Maryland line on the south to the Pequea Creek on the north and from the Susquehannah on the West to the West Branch of the Octarora on the east. Little Britain was cut off the southern side in 1738, comprising the later townships of Fulton and Little Britain.

Tradition relates that Robert Long had a daughter Margaret, who married the father of Robert Fulton, of steamboat fame, or at least some near relative of his. This has not been verified, however, though it does appear that Robert Fulton, the first, was closely associated with the Long family in Drumore, and one James Fulton, (said to have been a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Stewart) Fulton, of Donegal, Lancaster County,) who died about 1760, married Margaret, whose maiden name is said to have been Long, and had sons, Samuel, John, Hugh, and James.
