The name Langley or Longley is derived from the residence of its first bearers at places so called. It originated in "lang" or "long" combined with "ley" or "lee" and means "the long meadow". There are numerous spellings, but Langley is one most accepted in America today.
William Longley was born in New Jersey. He lived in Virginia in 1780 when he joined the state militia and served with General Lafayette in Yorktown during the Revolutionary War. He married Mary Bodine, September 1, 1784.
William received a land grant for 160 acres on the Little Pigeon River in Sevier County, Tennessee dated November 23, 1809. Mary was a member of the Forks of the Little Pigeon Baptist Church in 1807.
