John Son of Joseph Longfellow

John Longfellow b. 6 Jan 1740 was the son of Joseph Longfellow and an Elizabeth ? John born 1740 married to Elizabeth D. Bradley daughter of Charles Bradley abt 1760 in Maryland. With new records surfacing I have become uncertain about all the children of this family. Any new information about This John and Elizabeth would be appreciated.They had the following children: 1) Elijah Longfellow b. 28 Mar 1767- on farm of Queen Annes County,Md Elijah lived in Kent,Delaware for several years.Elijah later migrated to Hamilton,Butler,Ohio. 2) Joseph Longfellow b.9 Nov 1768-on farm at Queen Annes County,Md. Joseph also lived in Kent,Delaware for several years. Joseph migrated to Concord,Champaign County,Ohio it appears after the final disbursement of John as many other children left after that disbursement.I am using the birthyear that Joseph himself gave to a Judge and also from a letter from the Veterans Administration which seems to prove 1768 instead of 1766 3)William Longfellow -Kent,Delaware b. 2 Jun 1770 Murderkill,Kent, Delaware. William migrated to Indiana settling in Henry County,Indiana by way of Kentucky stopping in Butler,Ohio where Elijah stopped and remained. 4) Nathan Longfellow b. abt 1772 Kent, Delaware. Nathan followed his brother William Longfellow to Rush County,Indiana. 5) Rebecca Longfellow b. abt 1773 Kent,Delaware.She married to a Mr. Morris ? 6)John Jr. Longfellow b. abt 1775 7) Cynthia Longfellow b. 1777 Murderkill,Kent, Delaware.Who did Cynthia marry? John's Administrative bond can be found at the Delaware Public Archives for the year's 1796-99 so he must have died 26 Oct 1796. In this bond it shows no mention of a wife but payments to John Jr.,Joseph,Elijah, and Rebecca Morris. This Bond also shows different goods and Chattels from that of John Longfellow b. 1715-1794 which does list his wife as Rosannah The following Bible record was contributed by Mary Mitchell which shows Rosannah Longfellow as Roanna Longfellow and William which migrated to Indiana

These two probate's of John Longfellow (1794 and 1796) seem to be for two different John's. Any other idea's about these two John Longfellow's would be welcomed. At this point I have information on William b. 2 Jun 1770. Read on or checkout the link for William.
