John Long was baptised on 20th November 1784 in Gwennap, Cornwall, England. His parents were John and Jane Long (nee Bawden). At this stage, only two siblings for John have been found, a sister Jenefer and a sister Mary. John was the youngest of the three siblings.
Marriage[]
John married at aged 19 to Margaret Bray, who was known by the name of Peggy. The couple married in Gwennap on 30th September 1804, and witnesses to the marriage were a William Bray and George Moyle. John signed his name on the register, and Peggy marked with a cross.
The couple settled in Gwennap and had 8 known children there. John is recorded against some of the baptisms as a miner, and on others as a labourer. They are recorded at St Day parish for the earlier births, but St Mary's is recorded as their parish for later baptisms.
Death[]
It is known that John died before the year 1841 as he is not listed in the 1841 census for Cornwall, and his wife Peggy is listed as independent. The most likely burial recorded for him is on the 6th October 1836, in the Gwennap district, with the residence being recorded as Carharrack. The age of this John was recorded as 53 years, which matches the age of our John. Peggy would outlive him by 20 years.
