The Lankfords & Langfords of Virginia By Bruce Montgomery Edwards Gateway Press, Inc. Baltimore 1987 Genealogical Department Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Salt Lake City, Utah, Page 55. John Lankford was born some time around 1662, son of Thomas of King and Queen. Northing is known about him during his early life and until 1704 when he was shown on the Quit Rent roll, the payment to the crown for use of his property, holding 100 acres in King and Queen. In the next year, on 2 November 1705, his identity is firmly established. He received a grant, or deed, to 228 acres "of which 186 acres had been bought by his father Thomas Lankford and 42 acres for the importation of one person, Elizabeth Trappo." He had inherited part of his fahters estsate and had purchased a head-rihgt from someone who paid Trappo's passage to Virginia. This did not necessarily suggest that the immigrant was anywhere near the property, or even in the county. She may, however, have been in John's household later - no one knows.

Ibid., Page 56. 1. Cordelia Lankford was born about 1682 - purely as a guess. Her birth date, and others of the family, are projected from what little there is available and admittedly, may be off by several years. Her brother Thomas had been the first Lankford known to be associated with the Quakers and Cordelia had followed him in requesting membership in the Friends. She was married on 20 November 1704 to Frances Clark in the Black Creek Meeting of Friends, located near Sedley, 8 mi. north of Franklin in Southampton County. No efford has been made to follow her further.

, Page 62. 4. Thomas Lankford "of New Kent" may have been the youngest, rather than the oldest of the children of John of King & Queen. He will be called Thomas of New Kent to distinguish him from the many Lankfords of this name. He must have been born some time about 1675- 1680 - we cannot know positively.

A newspaper item gives the only personal information available: The Virginia Gazette of Williamsburg, issue of 7 January 1736-7 "On Christmas Eve died, in Hanover County after a very short illness, Mr. JOhn Lanford, a noted and skillful musician. His death is much lamented by his acquaintences in general whose love and Esteem has been Acquired by his facetious, good behavior, and the more so having left behind him a poor widow and six or seven small children , who 'tis hoop'd will receive some comfort under their affliction from the beneficent Hand of those Gentlemen and Ladies whom he has often delighted with his Harmony.".
