I am of the Longley, Parker, Prescott, Scott lineage to name a few. I have tin types and a lineage that was commissioned in 1970 along with the rock in Groton. I would love to take this to a new level. At the very least, provide you with the PDF of the original ancestry. Our lineage which has been traced back to the royals in England and Europe ,of which my grandmother Glen Longley contributed. It took several years to complete and finally finished in the 1970's.Her father is William Longley, my great grandfather.I am so glad to have seen this. Thank you
I am a decendant also, just found out about it, and I thank you for doing this and i will be buying the books. My Grandmother was Pasty Longley, daughter of Edward and Ella Jane Longley, edward son of Scott Longley
Peter Longley has indeed made this story come alive. I am the the 8th Great Granddaughter of Hannah Longley and Thomas Tarbell. Hannah of course is the sister of William Longley Jr.
Totally loved this! I am a descendant as well... grew up in neighboring Dunstable. Knew the story my whole life but didn’t realize I was related until my sister did our genealogy. We were riveted to the story as you were telling it... could picture the scene in our minds. Thank you for sharing!
