My great-great-great-great-great grandfather was John Longman. His son Jonathan Longman was Angeline's father. Angeline married Levi Myers on 12\24\1855 in Washington Co. Maryland. Angeline was born 10\16\1834 in Maryland. She died 10\14\1912 in Mt. Carrol Illinois. The Family name is really German spelling Langmann. John Longman was one of the German soldiers purchased by the british to come here and fight in the revolution. He was captured in Fredrick Maryland. After the war, the German soldiers were allowed to return to Germany or stay here. He stayed and when he became a citizen the name was changed to Longman. Hope this information helps.
