The Origins and Early Ancestors of the New Brunswick DeLong Families
																								by Theodore Brassard		November 9, 1997

																		Introduction

     This article is being written to provide information condensed from about
15 years of notes derived from many sources.  A great deal of this data was
contributed by William Tufts of Ontario who spent many years researching
DeLong family lines.  Thanks to his persistance and determined efforts it is now
possible to tie my New Brunswick ancestor, Catherine DeLong, to the DeLong
families that settled in New York towards the end of the 17th century.
     The surnames found in the records studied have considerable variation and
changes over a period of more than 100 years before the name was fairly 
consistently spelled as it is today as DeLong.  Some of the most often seen 
variants are: De Langet, De Langen, Langen, De Langh, DeLonge, Langet, and
De Laenge. In some cases the DeLong surname was dropped entirely with the 
person using their middle name instead.
     One line still under study is that of Franciscus Adrianusz. De Langet who is
the progenitor of the New Brunswick families. He was born in 1634 in North
Brabant, The Netherlands and, one of his sons, using the method of those times
in adopting the father's given name as a surname, was called Adrianus
Franciscusz. De Langet.
      This second generation individual used various shortened forms of his name
which made tracing his activities very difficult to say the least. Some of the forms
he employed were:  Ary Fransen, Ary Franz Langet, Adriaan Fransen De Langet,
Arry DeLangen, and Aryan Fransen.  There may be others not yet uncovered.
     Ary was probably born about 1655, since his first child, Willemtje, was born
in New Amsterdam about 1679.  His marriage to Rachel Jansen Pier occurred in
1678 or 1679. I have no records to substantiate these estimates that were given
to me by other people.  The first factual evidence I have actually seen concerns
their second child, Frans, who was baptized at Kingston, Dutchess county of New
York on the 24th day of April in 1681.
     It appears so far that the major part of the early family history of this part-
icular DeLong family line centers in the Dutchess and Ulster counties of New York
and the towns of Fishkill, Kingston, and Poughkeepsie.  Research by William Tufts
of Ottawa, Ontario indicates that Westchester county is also involved.
     To further complicate the research many of the DeLong names found in various
areas may possibly be related to the line of Peter DeLong of Pennsylvania and who 
is said to be of German ancestry.  It is also quite possible that all DeLong families
could be of German ancestry having migrated down the Rhine to The Netherlands.
Peter does appear in a list of the taxpayers for the town of Fishkill as will be shown
later. 
     It has therefore ben necessary to be extremely cautious in attributing and
connecting any descendant to the line of this family whose head is said to be
Franciscus Adrianuszoon De Langet.

                            wife of Frans(1718).   Arie Jr., Lawrence, and Elias were in all
                            probability brothers and sons of Frans(1718).

     Authors note: In all probability this was the Arie DeLong who is said to have
                            married Anne Wiltsie on 6/6/1734, but there is a question
                            concerning her surname.

         Arre, Rachel, Nicolas, Lawrence, Jean, Mary, Liddiah, Elizabeth, Catherine,
         Elias, Geshee, and Egie."

     Authors note: In all probability this was the Frans Langet who married on
                            6/9/1703 to Maritje Van Schaak (Schaik).

II    The Descendants of Franciscus Adrianuszoon De Lange
     	     He was born at North Brabant, The Netherlands in 1634.  Franciscus
        married and had at least:

           He came to New Amsterdam and eventually settled at Kingston in Dutchess
           Co., New York.  Adrianus married Rachel Jansen Pier about 1678/79.  She
           was born 1657-59 and was the daughter of Jan Theunisson Pier and Marritje
           Jans.  Jan Pier who was most likely born in The Netherlands, died before
           1676, since his wife, Marritje remarried on the 12th of April in that year
            to Willem Jansen Roman.

               on the same day between Willemtje and Hendrick Klaaz Schoonhoven
               who was the widower of Cornelia Swartwood.
