Jane S. Jones was of Welsh descent. She married Edward Long in Loudoun county, Virginia on 17 Jan 1762. In the words of her grandson, Rev. Peter Long "They were both belonging and attached to the Church of England, but the Baptists coming about they changed their views and united with them. They were both considered decidedly pious, and Mrs. Long in particular was considered to possess more than ordinary intellect and piety, and was a Shumanite in her family. She felt much of the fervor of religion, and was very solicitous for their spiritual welfare. I will name one circumstance, illustrative of this fact, which I have heard my father relate. Grandmother Long was one night busily employed in her domestic affairs, until looking around her slumbering children, and fresh desires for their eternal welfare awoke in her mind. The reflection struck her with much force, "shall one of these, my children, be forever lost, -- How can I bear the thought?" With this impression of mind she began to implore God but such was the fervor of her mind that at length she wept and cried aloud and awoke the astonished family"
Jane's son, George, died in McMinn county TN in 1849. The George Long linked below is fictitious.
