John and Anna had 7 children according to family Bible.[1] His Siblings: John Long (1749 - 1823) Catharine Studebaker Long Leedy (1759 - 1837) David Long (1761 - 1816) Margaret Long Study (1763 - 1815) Hannah Long Eagle (1769 - 1832)

DAR Record

1776 Project
Corporal John Long served with 4th Maryland Regiment (1776), Continental Army during the American Revolution.
Daughters of the American Revolution
John Long is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A071268.

It currently is in dispute that the descendant list with a Jacob Long who is a son of Isaac Long, not John. NOTE: This does not mean that this John Long did not participate in the Revolutionary war, it just means that the person who actually submitted the original application used incorrect information regarding the descendant Jacob. It appears that the actual service record for John is not in dispute so I have added the DAR template and 1776 template. Long, John Jr is DAR Patriot Ancestor #: A071268 Notice: This line may not be used for Membership in the DAR: DATACF- Jacob, son of Isaac Long, not of John. 9-16-92 DH. Service: Maryland with the rank of Corporal under Captain Shields, 1775-76. Birth: about 1750 Washington Co., Maryland. Death: 18 Jun 1823 Washington Co., Maryland. [4]

Married at Washington Co., MD on 4 May 1779 to Anna Bunn, born at Washington Co., MD, died on 25 Oct 1820 Washington Co., MD.

Linda, I added some info that I found...some of it brings some questions, at least regarding son Jacob, and the information for him. DAR indicates that Jacob was a son of Isaac? So does FindAGrave, but this is for you and others in this line to hash out. Not my Long line.  :)
