Sir Richard Long, Knt. An account of him will be found in Mr. Gage's _History and Antiquities of Hengrave_, p. 119, from which it appears that he was a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, Master of the buckhounds and hawks, High Steward or Keeper of several of the royal demesnes, and Captain of Guernsey. He was seated at Shengay and Hardwicke in Cambridgeshire, and married Margaret, only child of John Donnington, of Stoke Newington in Middlesex, and widow of Sir Thomas Kytson of Hengrave, who died in 1540, by whom he had a son, Henry, born 31 March, 1544, afterwards knighted, and to whom King Henry VIII. and the Duke of Norfolk were sponsors, and three daughters. Sir Richard Long died in October, 1544, and an abstract of his will is given in that admirable work. His widow married to her third husband John Bourchier, Earl of Bath, and died 12 January, 1561, æt. 52. Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Sir Henry Long, his son, married William Lord Russell, of Thornhaugh.
