Note: Alexander LONG (and bros. Samuel & James) were named executors of the 
will of their father William LONG (dated 29 Jan 1781, proved 18 Sep 1781). 
William (II) died before the will was made; his son William (III), the legatee 
mentioned above, d. before this conveyance was made, 9 Jan 1798. 
A transcription of the will (WB6:187) is posted at:

Samuel's will (dated 5 Dec 1805, proved 24 Jan 1814; WB11:309-11) mentions 
that bro. James had moved to Kentucky.  It is not clear from these records 
why Samuel & James did not take on themselves the burden of the execution of 
their father's will.  A transcription of Samuel's will is posted at:
