Died 1671 at Middletown or Hartford, Connecticut 

Mary Long of Dorchester petitioned the court to declare her husband, Joseph Long, dead in order to remarry as found in the following archived petition and court action:

• "Mary Long states that her husband, although not in good health, went to England to obtain a legacy of 60 pounds left him by his father, but since the receipt of a letter from London in which his intention of proceeding the next day is stated, no further word had been received. Capt. Poole of Taunton had speech with William Long, the brother with whom Joseph was to transact his business, who had not seen or heard of him. Mr. John Holmes receives letters from his father-in-law, Mr. Bishop in England, who has endeavored in vain to obtain trace of Long. Others, who have correspondents in England were interested, but without result. Hence it is thought Joseph is dead. The Court thinks any man can marry with the said Mary without anticipating trouble." [Mass. Archives, book 9, p. 16 at the State House, Boston]. On 22 May 1651 "In answer to the petition of Mary Long of Dorchester for liberty to Marry, this Court declares, there can come no damage to any magistrate or any other p'son authrized, that shall marry the petitionr p'vided she be published according to law." [Records of the Colony of Massachusetts Bay in new England, p. 232 found in the State House, Boston] (Cites Bates: Gen Sarai Stow Ellis p. 47-48.)
