Langley & Longley Family

By Chapter member Linda Longley.

For those interested in family genealogy and early New England, this unique book is about saints, solid citizens, and scoundrels, all members of this one family with a recorded history over a period of eleven generations. With the Langley Family origins rooted squarely in Colonial America, many family members over time participated in the persistent wars, the industrial revolution, and the expansion to the Western Territories. This book offers over 400 individual profiles with citations for every recorded event, and over 100 photos including early signatures from petitions and court records. The index has over 6,500 Langley, Longley and allied family names.
