     Note: Here, in part, is what Newland DeVault had to say about Samuel Long:

Samuel Long's parents were Killian and Rosy Long of York County, Pennsylvania. On Samuel's grave is a Revolutionary War Marker. According to the DAR, he served at one time in the same York County Militia as his father-in-law, Henry DeWald, and his brother-in-law, Philip DeWald. In 1781 he was a private in Captain Abraham Furray's Company, as was his father-in-law. He was an ensign in the 6th Company, under Captain Blair according to the returns of election of Military Officers for the County of York, Feb 21, 1794 (Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series).

Samuel Lang was born on 26 August 1761 at York Co., PA, birth date according to Newland DeVault's genealogy

A date of 1772 is found in: "York County Church Records of the 18th Century, Vol. 2" (Trinity Church baptism 26 APR 1772) -- but this is not consistent with the likely marriage date of 1784. Probably the christening was when the boy was 10 or so years of age.

He was the son of Killian Lang and Rosina Selkirck. Samuel Lang was christened on 26 April 1772 at Trinity Church, York Co., PA; Sponsors: Jacob Raheusser and wife

Source: "York County Church Records of the 18th Century, Vol. 2"

Without the parents' names, cannot be sure whether this is the same Samuel Lang.

He married Mary Margaret DeWald, daughter of Henrich DeWald and Maria Catherine Greaver, circa 1784 at Pennsylvania. Samuel Lang died on 25 April 1842 at Hanover, York Co., PA, at age 80. He was buried in April 1842 at St. Matthews Lutheran Church Cemetery, Hanover, York Co., PA.
