"We have no authentic record by which to carry the pedigree of Long beyond Robert. The earlier descents are vague and traditional, and only given in a letter of the date of 1668, quoted in Collins's Baronetage; but the statement of Leland, who lived in the time of Sir Henry Long, the son of Sir Thomas, carries with it some authority from its coincidence with what we know to be the fact. He makes the first of the race (Thomas by name) acquire a fortune by a "good marriage" to which he was "preferred" by one of the "old Lords Hungerford," meaning, I apprehend, the father, grandfather, or great-uncle, of the Lord Treasurer, who flourished in Wiltshire in the reigns of Edward the Second and Third. "To him," he says, " succeeded Robert and Henry. ..."
John Long of Draycot Cerne (c. 1419 – 20 September 1478) was an English landowner and member of parliament.
Born in Wiltshire, the son of Robert Long and Margaret Godfrey, he was elected Member of Parliament for Cricklade in 1442 and in 1449 was an Elector for Wiltshire. He died 20 September 1478[1] and is buried at Draycot Cerne, Wiltshire.
He married Margaret Wayte who, according to the printed Long family pedigree, was his half-sister. There were three sons from this marriage including Sir Thomas Long of Draycot.
