Andrew Peterson Longacre BIRTH 1684 Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA DEATH 1739 (aged 54–55) Pennsylvania, USA BURIAL Gloria Dei Church Burial Ground Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, USA MEMORIAL ID 128279050 · View Source

Second son of Anders Petersson Longacre, progenitor of the Southern & Western Longacres. Born in Kingessing. We have surveys of land in the Kingessing area in 1736, where Andrew & his brother Peter seemed to have divided up the land their father & mother owned. Since the family belonged to the church at Gloria Dei, we are assuming he and his wife Elizabeth were buried at Gloria Dei. In the book Colonial records of the Swedish Churches in Pennsylvannia, Vol 4, page 334 it is stated that he is buried in Gloria Dei. Newspapers of the day had his death date as 1738 or 39.

Request of Andrew and Peter Longoker to resurvey and divide 200 acres of land at Siamessing, 2nd month, 5th day, 1736, page 77; ibidem, page 81; patent to Andrew Longaker for 140 acres in Kingsess, Philadelphia Co., an old Swedes' grant, 8th day, 7th month, 1736-same vol., page 81, Peter Longoker presented draft of about 40 acres of Swamp Cripple, or meadow, lying in Kingsess, next to the Schuylkill, desiring confirmation of the same, etc.

-----------------------------

Andrew Longacre, born in 1684, married Elizabeth [parents not identified] about 1705. His father gave him that part of Siamensing lying north of the King's Road (Woodland Avenue). He also acquired Gabriel's share of Siamensing lying south of the King's Road. He and his wife Elizabeth sold all of this to Peter Stille of Philadelphia on 24 December 1736 for ^133. The family then moved to Calcon Hook to live on the Geörgen plantation. Andrew apparently died soon thereafter. His widow Elizabeth died at Calcon Hook 14 February 1758 at the age of 78.

They had two known children:

  • Elizabeth Longacre, born c. 1706, married Peter Tussey of New Castle County c. 1725. Their sole surviving child, Elizabeth Tussey, married her cousin Anders Geörgen (Urian), Jr., of Calcon Hook.
  • Andrew Longacre, born c. 1712, married Hannah, daughter of Richard Ireson c. 1737. They joined a group of Quakers moving to Frederick County, Virginia, in the 1740s. The family was active in the Hopewell Friends Meeting in Winchester, Va. Hannah died 4 August 1793 and Andrew died three years later. They had six children (Joseph, Mary, Richard, John, Andrew and Benjamin) and became the forebearers of the "southern" Longacres.
