Brethren In Northern Illinois and Wisconsin,
page 26:

"When in 1843 Isaac Long spied out the land in Ogle County he started something destined to have much to do with the future of our church in this section. He liked the prairies but he loved a maiden in Maryland so he went back home and married Catherine Highbarger. His report of the West was so glowing that in the summer of 1845 his father, Jacob Long, and nine or ten children, along with three or four other families, one of whicxh was the Isaac Rowland family, decided to come west too. They loaded into heavy wagons that were drawn by four or six horses such of their possessions as they could bring with them. They drove their cattle through. On June 19 they bade farewell to their Hagerstown friends and began their tedious trek towards the setting sun, arriving at the cabin of John Fridley, Long's brother-in-law, on July 31."
