Hello,
I am doing research on the Long’s of the Isle of Wight. I am a direct descendant of Daniel Long and am curious about the connections between the Wright family, as well as Cornelius Sculley. It appears that Daniel Long, as well as his two sons have connection to the Wright family and Cornelius Sculley. Daniel Long (as well as his brother Arthur Long) named a daughter Elizabeth.
My question: Is it possible that Daniel’s father, Robert Longe, a child born in Virgina (circa 1623) was married to Elizabeth Gibbs before she married Thomas Wright?
Just curious.
