Biography
Simon Delong was born 13 Sep 1761, Albany, Albany, New York. His father Conradt DeLong (b. 18 Sep 1723 and who d. 1777) was a member of the Reformed Dutch Church and who married Catherina Froelich 18 Sep 1742, Fishkill, Dutchess, New York.[1] They were settled in the Rhinebeck area of NY in what is now Duchess County
Enlisted April 18 1777 along with his brothers John and Aaron. Loyal American Regiment, commanded by Colonel Beverley Robinson. Simon was Valet to Major Thomas Barclay Thomas. Barclay was the major of the Loyal American Regiment, i.e. the 3rd in command.
The Delong family, (Simon and brothers) were true to the Royal cause in times of Britain's sorest need: "and they were obliged in consequence to abandon all worthy possessions and fly for their lives to Canada. They formerly lived in Duchess Co., New York, in a pleasant and prosperous community and in affluence; they came here in poverty and settled in an uninviting wilderness..."[2] [3]
Arrival 1784, Nova Scotia[4]
He resettled his family at Wilmot Township, Annapolis County, N.S. In 1784 his name is found in “Loyalists and Land Settlement in Nova Scotia” [5]
Simon DeLong is found in a list of 1793 Wimot twp., Annapolis county inhabitants, hereafter referred to as "Memorialists", who filed a petition seeking government intervention regarding what they considered to be an environmental issue threatening the viability of their lands. [6] :
- "Memorialists were informed that Jonathan Randell has applied for a grant of a certain tract of land lying between the lands granted to Daniel Durland and others and the common land of the settlement. This land is not fit for cultivation, and the memorialists request that the land be granted them for the whole community, "as cutting the timber on this land will expose the whole settlement to the violent blasts and injurious fogs of the Bay of Fundy."
Death: September 1851 Mt Hanley, Wilmot, Annapolis, Nova Scotia, Canada
