My dear Sir:-

Your information of December the ni ninth is received, for which I thank you.

I wish to find out more about the father of Jacob Long, whose Record you furnished me with a few weeks ago. Hitmans History, P. 268, says t that the father of Jacob Long was Wm. Long of Va., 1st Lt. 2nd Va. State Regiment, May 10th, 1771, Capt. 1780, and served to Feb. 6th, 1781. This is all the data of him I can give, but if he applied for or received a pension, his record will not be hard to find.
Very truly yours

Madam:

In response to your letter dated the 4" and received the 16” instant, you are advised that the name of the father of Jacob Long Rev. War pensioner Wid. File No. 1790, is not
stated in that claim.

This Bureau is unable to furnish the history of a soldier of the Revolution, unless a claim for pension or bounty land is on file on account of his services, and a careful search of the records fail to show such a claim on file for William
Long 1st Lieut. and Captain 2d Virginia regiment.

You were furnished on January 26, 1910, the history of the only William Long of Virginia found on the Revolutionary War records of this Bureau.

Very respectfully,
