biography

John came to New England with his parents in 1635. He resided in Charlestown. He kept the great ordinary, as had his father and the widow after his death retained the care of it until 1711, when she gave it to Samuel, who next year sold that "great house" built 1629 for the Gov. and Company and who above 80 years for the three generations had been the "Long" tavern.

John and his wife Mary operated the Three Cranes Tavern.

See [http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcarchexhibitsonline/threecranes.htm]

"Generations of the Long family operated the Three Cranes Tavern for more than 140 years. The Great House/Three Cranes Tavern site underwent many changes between 1629 and today. When Robert Long˜s son John and his wife, Mary, took over the tavern in 1663, they expanded the tavern complex to include a new house, a separate brewery, and a wine cellar. One of the first improvements the Long family would likely have made was to replace the old wooden sill beneath the former Great House. The house would have been raised up and a stone foundation placed beneath the sill to support the frame of the house" (Massachusetts Historical Commission. "Three Cranes Tavern."
