Elizabeth became the wife of Brumfield Long, born circa 1686, in St Mary's Parish, Richmond county, Virginia, a son of Henry Long and Anne Churchill. [1] Brumfield's father's plantation was on the Rappahannock River, in what became King George County, in 1720. [2] Brumfield and Elizabeth settled on the 136 acres of land they had accumulated on the north side of the Rappahannock River, some from Brumfield's father, Henry, and some from the Reynolds family. Later, Brumfield and Elizabeth bought land in St. Anne's Parish in Essex County where they were living in 1734. [3] On October 2, 1730, a Bond was recorded between Brumfield Long, with Elizabeth, his wife and Thomas Turner for the transfer of 136 acres of land, 34 acres of which was a part of 84 acres of land formerly belonging to William Reynolds, father to Elizabeth (Reynolds) Long.
