I assume you have checked the 1850-1870 censuses not only in Rockland Twp but in nearby twps, including over the border in Lehigh Co. Spelling might be a problem -- You can do searches by first name as well as last name, and scan the list for the township to see if there's a weird spelling. Also, have you ever tried browsing line by line through a twp? I've found people that way. Also, perhaps you could start at the early end and try to connect the immigrants to their descendants. The only two DeLONGs I have are: Two brothers, Abraham and Peter DeLONG / DeLANGH who came down to Penna. from the Palatine settlements along the Hudson River in Dutchess County -- Peter m. Eva Elisabetha WEBER b. 1707 at Quassaic Kill and had children baptized there; he came to PA after 1736 (per child bapt in NY) and patented land 1738 in Maxatawny Twp where he died May 1760 near Bowers. You'll find his will in Berks Co will abstracts. His brother Abraham b. abt 1700 m. a Catharine, d. 1756 in Lynn Twp (just over the Berks line in present Lehigh Co).
