Biography

From FAG Memorial: "Research comments and notes below provided by long time Delong family researcher Roy Delong as was entered when he transferred maintenance of this record to Charles Kerchner of Emmaus PA. Charles is another long time researcher of the Delong family of Berks County PA. See: http://www.kerchner.com/surnames.htm

Another source has married name Lang.

Susanna Margaretha's maiden name is perhaps Ulrich (no source for this). John D. Baldwin (the now deceased premier researcher of the DeLong surname) says "His (Henry's) first wife was named Margaretta Susanna. Maiden name not known. The Margargle is someone's inept misreading of her middle name as shown on his tombstone which reads "Susanna Margaryga D. Langin". Someone else equally inanely claimed her maiden name was Christ, a misreading of the eroded stone which shows "born [in the year of] Christ...".

Susanna married Henry DeLang abt 1753 in Berks Co., PA, they had 12 children: (2 unknown)

1. Eva Elizabeth 2. Henry Jr. b. abt 1755. 3. Peter b. abt 1757. 4. John b. abt 1759. 5. Andrew b. aft 1760. 6. David b. 1770. 7. Sarah b. 1774. 8. Maria Margarita b. 1775. 9. Margretha b. 1777. 10. Susanna Magdalena b. 1778.

Susanna likely died in childbirth with the last child." Alternate date for death is 22 Aug 1779.

She was the first wife of Heinrich DeLong.
