Philip  Long moves himself and his family (wife: Marie-Julie, and four kids: Georges, Romain, Suzanne and Michel) to a parcel of land adjacent to a place known locally as “la petite Décharge” (today Clair, New Brunswick – incorporated in 1887).  This location is strategic for its military value (it is on the edge of one of the most important navigation routes and across from the “Décharge” or Fish River today) and also rich with giant white pines exclusively used and « reserved » for building the masts of great ships.  This location will become the foyer of all the descendants of the Long-Lang family line that originated from Madawaska and children of Georges, Romain and Michel.  Marriage of Romain (Memen) Long to Marie-Vitaline Theriault on January 22 1828 at St-Basile, New Brunswick.

The American agents Deane and Kavanaugh prepare a report for the State of Maine describing the geology, demography and development of the disputed regions between the State of Maine and new Brunswick.  The report states that Philip Long and his two sons, Georges and Romain (Marmosie) Long, occupy a parcel of land on the north side of the St-John river, and also possess many other lots in the same area since 1828.  In this report is also mentioned the story about the act of heroism of Philip Long where he would have taken some mails from the American side and given it to the British.

Philip Long dies on December 25, 1832 at the age of around 75 years old.  He is interred in the Ste-Luce cemetery a few days later.  This parish is now in Maine, USA and it is somewhat ironic given his loyalty to and his role in protecting the border interests of the British Crown to be buried on the American side of the border.  Marriage of Suzanne Long to Jacques Hamel on August 28, 1832 at St-Roch de Quebec, Quebec City.
