General Notes: Husband - Capt. Robert Long

---

Springfield Twp, Fayette Co, PA

In the autumn of 1796, he purchased a plantation of Thomas Ball, on George's Creek, in Springhill township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, in the section long claimed and originally settled under Viginia patents. He did not however, locate there until at least a year later, but continued to work at his trade
of a sickle maker in Drumore, Lancaster County. According to family history he erected his sickle factory on George's Creek in the "Fall of 1797" "converting the old log grist mill built by William Griffin, into a suitable building for that purpose, where he manufactured sickles on a large scale, using the water power to run a trip-hammer, grindstones, turning lathes, etc."
He purchased additional land in Springhill township, Fayette County. In 1804, he erected a grist and flour mill across the creek from his sickle factory, and in 1807 erected a brick house on his plantation, the first to be erected in southern Fayette County. He was an industrious, frugal, and enterprising man, and met with success in his business undertakings. He was active in the temperance cause.
