Adam BRIGHT and Eliza ?LONG of Beaver Co., Pa.
I am searching for the ancestors of the following family:
Adam BRIGHT b.? 26 Sept. 1806 d. 2 July 1872 m. bef. 1844 Eliza (Louisa) LONG? b. bet. 5 Oct. 1820 - 26 July 1821 d. aft. 1860
Children bef. 1848 b. in Allegheny Co., Pa.
Resided 1850 New Sewickley, Beaver Co., Pa.
Resided 1860 Pulaski, Beaver Co., Pa.
Resided 1870 Fallston, Beaver Co., Pa.
Milestones Vol 9 No 4--Fall 1984
"One of several farms in Daugherty Twp. is the KRUT Farm, purchased by Anton KRUT in July of 1857, from Jesse DEAN and his wife Tabitha. Mr. DEAN had bought the farm from Adam BRIGHT and his wife Eliza. The farm then was in Sewickley Twp. then Pulaski Twp."
According to this site:

Adam's spouse was Eliza LONG b. 1821
I calculated Eliza's birth range above from the 1850 and 1860 census. In 1850 her name appears as Louisa or perhaps Louissa.By 1860 it appears as Eliza (same age).
No documentation yet, but I believe Adam to be descended from the John Brecht line of Schaefferstown, Pa.:
John BRECHT (b.1735/6) + Margaret SCHAEFFER (b. 1740, Berks Co., Pa., dghtr. of Alexander Schaeffer,b. Germany d. in Schaefferstown)
Son was Michael BRECHT/BRIGHT (b. 1762 Lancs. Co., Pa., resided 1814 Allegheny Co.) + Barbara Anne WINTERS (b. 1763 Schaefferstown, Lebanon CO., Pa.)They had a son Adam b. in the right time range.
I am wondering if Eliza may not be descended from the Christian LANG family that established in Lancaster County, Pa. from Germany.Any help sorting this out appreciated.
