Linda,
Israel was the son of Tobias Long [Lang] and Martha Rich Robinson. Martha was a Quaker in Nottingham, Pa. Her first husband was Peter Rich. He died. Martha later married Tobias Long. [Tobias was the son of Edward John Langue. The spelling changed at some time from Langue to Lange or Lang, then Long.]
Tobias and Martha had at least six children from all reports: John, Eleanor, Sarah, Israel, Solomon, and Reuben. They were all born in Cecil County, MD. The Tobias Long family reportedly moved to Randolph County, NC in about 1771. [This is currently in Guilford County, NC.]
I descend from John Long, Israel's brother.
Henshaw's "Encyclopedia of American Quaaker Genealogy', Volume I, lists Israel & family, Rachael and some other brothers/sisters or husbands/wifes in the "Deep River Monthly Meeting," Guilford County, N. C. Examples of entries: "1789, 4, 6. Israel & fam (sons: Reuben & Tobias) received by request"; "1802, 12, 6. Reuben, disowned, married out of unity"; "1808, 5, 3. Tobias, of Blues Creek, disowned"; "Israel & wife granted certificate to Westfield monthly meeting"; "1813,6, 7. Rachael granted certificate to Westfield Monthly Meeting".
Westfield is in Stokes County near the border of Surry and Stokes Counties. [I grew up in Surry County.]
Israel was born in Abt 1755 in Cecil County, MD. Rachael ws born in Abt. 1756 [Guilford or Stokes County?]. They married in 1774/1775 in Guilford Co. NC. But, apparently they moved from Randolph [Guilford County] in 1813 [or at least that is when they transferred their church membership from Guilford to Stokes County]. Their children may have included: Josiah, Rebeccah, John, Tobias, Reuben and Martha? [Different researchers have reported different children. I've not researched their children.] Both Israel and Rachael died in Westfield, NC [Stokes or Surry County].
I'm not sure if this information helps. I have other information on the Long family. Please e-mail me and let me know the specifics. Thanks!Johnny
