    3. I just found the following online at GenealogyLibrary.com: Irwin Hoch Delong. 1926. "The Lineage of Malcolm Metzger Parker from Johannes Delang." Harry W. Parker, Pittsburgh, PA. On p. 49: =============================== DD. UNCONNECTED DELONGS These DeLongs are added here to lay the basis for possible future researches concerning the DeLangs in the United States and in Europe... =============================== On p. 52: =============================== c. IN NORTHAMPTON CO., PA. I. Abraham Delong, Lynn Township, Northampton Co., Pa., made his will December 21, 1755, and it was approved September 22, 1756. The will mentions a son Peter; other children are referred to but are not mentioned by name. Testator's wife "Catren" is named as sole executrix. The testator made his "mark," a capital D between his given name and his family name. The will is on file in the Court House, Easton, Pa., but it is not recorded. Witnesses: John Everett, Samuel Braun, Michel Baumgerter. Children: II. 1. Peter Delong, made his "mark," a capital D between his given name and his family name. 2. Math. Delong. 3.

(Release, Peter Delong et al to Catherine Delong, dated August 3, 1764, witnessed by George Briner, George Kistler, Philip Schuman, and Daniel Straub. Court House, Easton, Pa., Deed Book B, Vol. 1, pages 375ff.). =============================== The author doesn't say how he found the names of the other children, besides Peter. Andrew STRAUB is, of course, Matthias Andrew, who has a brother, Daniel. See: http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/6/Straub/FGS/MatthiasAndreasStraub-CatherineDeLong.htm
