My Robert Furlong line did move to NY before 1812. as I have his War of 1812 pension papers. My Robert was married, I think, twice. One to a Sarah Parks, and then to my gggggrandmother Rebecca Smith of NYC, 1843. He only had one child w/her, so I do not know if he had any previous children. There are several Robert Furlongs: 1 is in PA, I have his will which links him to the VA Furlongs; 1 is in Tenn., I have his will, which again links him to the VA Furlongs. James is often in the Furlong line, I agree. Where do you stand w/your James in ny? I have alot of info, some not directly linked to my line, but perhaps to yours?
