EV. JAMES LONG was received as a member by the Virginia Valley Conference, in 1841, at Antioch chapel, in Rockingham county. In 1848, the Conference was appointed to meet at Liberty, in Page county, but only Elders Long and Seever attended. The church disapproved the action of the other ministers, and appointed the next meeting at the same place in August, 1849. In 1850, Elder James Long preached regularly for the church at Timber Ride, and the church "was in good order."
