Biography

" Robert Long, the "first who came to Nant," who is shown to have been a land-owner there in 1707. He married Sarah Skiff of Sandwich, Cape Cod, about 1695, and may very likely have come to the island from Cape Cod, in connection with the introduction of whaling. The Nantucket records state that he was born on December 6, 1669, but do not give his birth-place. Referring to Chapter II, on the Charlestown Longs, it will be noted that his birth on the above elate is shown at Charlestown, Mass., the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Pinkham) Long, and that further record of him was lost at Charlestown. I am therefore including him as the fifth generation of this Charlestown family."

ROBERT LONG, son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Pinkham), born in Charlestown, MA, Dec. 9, 1669. He married about 1695, Sarah, ( daughter of James, Jr., and Sarah (Barnard) Skiff), of Sandwich, Cape Cod. He probably came to Nantucket from Cape Cod, and was a landowner in Nantucket in 1707, where he died in 1736.
