I know this posting is from years ago and you probably have tons of info since then, but would like to see if you can connect Francis and his brother Isaac to their father, John Delong, Jr.?The following is what I have on Francis and wife, Ann Stone:
Francis is not a proven son of John, but John was the only Delong that stayed in the Smithfield/Stroud twp. area, so I have attached John, Francis, and Isaac to older John for this reason, only. Older John is most likely the son of John Delong and Rachel Pugh.I have more info on those people if anyone else is related.
1820 -- Stroud twp., Northampton Co., Pa. census listed as Francis Delong with the count of 311100 / 41021
1830 -- Stroud twp., Monroe Co., Pa. census listed as Francis Delong with the count of 001001 / 231101
1840 -- Stroud twp., Monroe Co., Pa. census listed as Francis Dulong with the count of 0000101 / 1112001
1850 -- Luzerne Co., Pa. census listed as Delong, Francis - blank, Annie - blank, Mariette - 11
1860 -- Luzerne Co., Pa. census listed as Delong, Frank - 67, Anna - 67, Maryette - 24
Biography from the History of Luzerne Co., Pa. reads:
Peter H. DELONG, farmer, P.O. Loyalville, was born in Stroudsburg, Monroe Co., Pa, June 18, 1818, a son of Francis and Ann (Stone) Delong, both natives of Monroe County. Ann Stone was a daughter of Richard Stone, who served seven years under Washington in the Revolutionary army, and notwithstanding he was an Englishman by birth, fought for the cause of independence as a loyal citizen of the new republic. Francis Delong was a worthy citizen of Monroe County, whose life was uneventful, and honest man of energy and pluck and possessed of good moral principles. There were nine children born to him, six of whom grew to maturity, and two of them are now living. Peter H. Delong, who is the second in the family, was reared and educated in Monroe County. In 1839, he removed thence to Forty Fort, this county, where he remained a short time, and then came to Plymouth, where he worked at his trade, that of boot and shoe maker. During the Civil war, he served one year in the sutler’s department, connected with the Fifty-second P.V.I. In 1864 he removed to Lake Township, where he purchased 105 acres of land, some of which was improved, and he has shown himself to be a practical farmer, in the development of his present surroundings, his fields are clear of obstructions, while his buildings are commodious and comfortable. In December, 1842, Mr. Delong married Miss Levina, daughter of John and Elizabeth Santen, by which union there were twelve children, eight of whom grew to maturity and seven of them are living: John, Sarah, Henry, Caroline, Elizabeth, Andrew and Susan, all married and well to do. Mr. Delong is a charter member of the Grange and presented that organization with a lot on which to build. He and his good wife are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in good standing and influence. Henry, his son, who is a promising young man of enterprise, has leased for life, conditionally his father’s farm. Politically they are Republicans.
