Thank you for your help Sandra, quite an adventure for them, I assume  a lot of this is on ancestry but requiring "worldwide" membership. And some of this has popped up on the IGI !. I am hoping to be in touch with descendants of Benjamin soon and hoping to find out what happens to Rebecca and Charles.

Might be worth an enquiry at this cemetery if you haven't already done so to see if Benjamin Long belongs to your family.

Here is an exert from the HISTORY OF GRATIOT COUNTY. It was written in 1913 when Mary was still alive.

It gives a wonderful timeline of the family. It appears Mary first settled in Massachusetts after arriving in America and then moved to Nebraska in 1858. Perhaps the others also settled in Massachusetts at first before moving to Nebraska? Did the ship they took arrive in Massachusetts?

Fantastic response , thank you !!
What a nice summary that is of Mary LONG's journey. And an image of Daniel's final resting place . If mother Hannah had not died in 1839 perhaps non of this would have happened, or perhaps it was their dream, to be pioneers in a new land. To see those grainy images of Nebraska in the 1860's and the Wild West seems such a contrast to life in Wiltshire.
2 more siblings to find.
Charles the first born son.
Rebecca the youngest daughter. Must have been named after her aunt , my wife's ancestor , who herself raised a large family having married a stone mason ,some of whom migrated in a different direction
