The first Dashiell in early Somerset County was James Dashiell, who purchased the Long Hills tract in 1668. The home was built in the early 1700s, and lies on the north bank of Wetipquin Creek. Donald Singleton is the resident caretaker of the property, and is writing a book about it. If you have any information and/or old photographs of the Long Hills property, please contact him at . The cemetery, which lies between the house and the creek, is accessible via a lane that comes in south off of Wetipquin Road, about 1/2 mile east of its intersection with Royal Oak Road, and is in very good condition.
