John Jacob Long Family

 

Jacob Lang, a single man, came to SC aboard the Brittania in 1766 and obtained a 100 acre bounty grant near Prosperity. He obtained an additional 200 acre Colonial grant on Camping Creek. In 1800, Jacob Long, with wife Elizabeth, made title to these grants to their children (Newberry Deeds E39). Land near Prosperity was deeded to son, Thomas Long. Land on Camping Creek was deeded to grandsons, children of the deceased son, Bartholomew.

In these deeds Jacob Long signs his name as John Jacob Long, with wife Elizabeth. The deed for the land on Camping Creek stated that John Jacob Long and wife lived on that tract.

Elizabeth, the widow of Jacob Long, made will in 1815 leaving items to daughter, Rosannah Barbara Koon, and the balance of her estate to daughter, Susannah, wife of John Michael Cromer. During Elizabeth Long's sickness, she lived with her daughter and soninlaw. In the will of John Michael Cromer, Matthias Hair is appointed executor of the estate and mentioned as being an uncle of Cromer's wife, Susan. On the basis of these records the wife of John Jacob Long is believed to have been Elizabeth Hair, daughter of Peter Hair, Sr.
