He married Deliverance Crisp, possibly on on May 15,1672 at Groton,MA and certainly by 1674 as she was the mother of Lydia. Early sources indicate William had two wives, the first being Lydia, and the marriage is found in Mass VR.

Children: Lydia Longley, William Longley III, Betty Longley, Jemima Longley, John Longley, Joseph Longley, and two infant children. Some sources indicate the two infant children were Richard and Nathaniel. Other online sources state that they were Zachariah and Nathaniel, the former being about aged 20.
