Bloomfield/Brumfield was a son of Henry Long (b. 1650 Rappahannock Co, VA, d. 1733 King George Co, VA, m. 1689 VA) and Anne Churchill (b. 1654 Wraxall, Wiltshire, England).

Witnesses: John Waggoner, John Beverly Roy, Gabriel Jones
Bloomfield and Elizabeth settled on the 136 acres of land they had accumulated on the north side of the Rappahannock River, some from Bloomfield's father, Henry, and some from the Reynolds family. Later, Bloomfield and Elizabeth bought land in St. Anne's Parish in Essex County where they were living in 1734. By October of 1737, Bloomfield was renting land in Spotsylvania County, and in 1738 he and Mary (Bond), his new wife, were leasing out the Essex County land. St. George's Parish in Spotsylvania became "home", and there he and Mary spent the rest of their lives at a point where Stoney Run joins the north side of the Ta River [Buchanan calls it the "Ti" river, which must be a "typo", close inspection reveals no such River.]
About 1745, Bloomfield, hoping to get some help from the one son he thought most promising, Bloomfield, Jr., offered to help him get a position as an overseer if he would leave Orange County and move back to Spotsylvania. Young Bloomfield's wife, Elizabeth (Bond), now with child, was not too happy about her husband's decision to heed his father's call. However, he did go back, but the position did not materialize.... so Bloomfield enticed his son to stay and help him with his black smithing business in return for one parcel of land immediately, and another which would come to him upon his father's passing. Though the deal was struck and young Bloomfield moved in and started to build a house with a view to settling there with his family, for some reason Bloomfield became uneasy with the deal, and gave the promised land to son Reuben instead (Reuben later returned it). With this unhappy state of affairs, Bloomfield rented out the property near his father and returned to Orange County. However, feeling rightly put out by the whole affair, Bloomfield, Jr. took the issue to court, where it was ultimately resolved in 1749....one tract of land to be conveyed immediately to the son as had been promised, and another after the death of Bloomfield and Mary.
Bloomfield married twice:
He married 1st in 1713 to Elizabeth Reynolds (b. Abt. 1696 Hanover Parish, Richmond Co, VA, d. 5/15/1738 St. Georges Parish, Spotsylvania Co, VA), dau. of William Reynolds (b. 1655 Isle of Wight Co, VA, d. 1/1/1700 St) and Mary Jones (1657 Richmond, Rappahannock Co, VA-d. VA).
