In court, he declared that he was Richard Longley: and that he was the man called William Longley, and also John Longley; that at one time he received land under the name William Longley.
Temple work for him was done under the name William with wife Joanna Goffe and children supposed to be his but who were really children of his son William and wife Lydia; many had the same name as children of Richard and Joanna but were born twenty years or so later.
About 1676, King Philip's Indians attacked Groton, killed many, carried some prisoners to Canada, and others moved away; Richard moving to Charlestown.
I tried many times to straighten out the families of Richard and William. Finally, through the Hartford Times, Mrs. E.J. Kling of Butler, Missouri fixed them. She is a most excellent genealogist.
Is Temple work done for Richard? I think not; for Joanna Goffe as wife of William Sr.? For children of William Jr. and Lydia as children of William Sr. and Joanna? I suppose it all should be done over. How grateful we should be to the Hartford Times and, in this case, to Mrs. E.J. Kling.
