This is my ancestor 6 generations back.

Died: 1857-08-21 Allen Co, Kentucky USA
Marriages:
1. 1792-11-19 Mary "Molly" or "Polly" Garrett
Children of Benjamin Long and Mary Garrett:
Notes:
His death record says he was born to Brum + Elizabeth in Culpeper Co VA, and that he was an old soldier.
It also gives his age as 80, but that would make him 15 when he married.
