John Houston HERLONG

The name Herlong is a derivation of the Swiss surname Herlan. The Herlan family came from Flanders and first lived in Germany in Billigheim, County of Bargzbien, in the state of Pfalz (later Rhineland-Pfalz) in southern Germany on the Rhine River. It is believed they migrated to S.C. during the 17th century with French Protestants.
