William Longley

6/15/2020 edit. William Longley sued the Town of Lynn in 1661 because he had not been given 40 acres granted to early inhabitants. The court procedings had several long-term residents testify that the name "Richard Langley" had been written down by mistake decades ago when the grant was made, and that William Longley was the only Langely or Longley living in the town. He was awarded a choice of 40 acres or the money. A

Some published sources state that Richard Langley must be either William's father or brother, but no proof has ever been found.

There were previously 2 separate profiles of Richard and William as brothers, but they were merged 6/15/2020. See page 161 of The Genealogical Quaterly Magazine Vol 3.
