John Long is mentioned in the article "New Englanders at Sea" as a sea captain (Master of the ship "Consent") and was apart of the migratory expedition to Cape Fear (now North Carolina) in April 1662/3. The migratory expedition was subsequent to the exploratory expedition the previous year. These were under the auspices of "the Merchants' 'Commitee for Cape ffaire at Boston.'" This second expedition was not a roaring success and resulted in Capt. Long having to sue explorer participant Henry Douglas(s) for money damages upon return to Boston. The article cites the Middlesex County Court, Files, #2374 (not located), in Long vs. Douglas, Deposition of William Courser, sworn 16 June 1663.
