My earliest documented Langford/ Lankford ancestor is:
Euclid Langford b. ca. 1757, most likely in Caroline County, VA. , d. 1810 Hancock County, GA. Euclid had six sons John, Nicholas, Edmund, Henry, George Nicholson, and Robert, and one daughter Elizabeth (Betsy), who may have died before Euclid, as she is not mentioned in his will. Robert was my 3-greats-grandfather. His son Robert (Jr.) was my great-great-grandfather.
Euclid's father is believed to be Nicholas Lankford d. after 1795 Caroline County, VA. Nicholas secured a debt for Euclid in 1785 in Caroline Co.
Euclid served in the Revolutionary War, Virginia State Regiment, and was present at Valley Forge.
Robert A. Langford (Jr.) died in the Civil War in 1862 at Richmond, VA. He was serving in Company K, 15th Alabama Infantry, Confederate States of America.

Davis, Jeffrey W. E-mail: [email protected] Armstrong, Janet Langford, Bill K. (DNA Project Participant) Langford, Eric (DNA Project Participant) Langford, Jim (DNA Project Participant) Langford-Odom, Linda (One of our original researchers before I began). Wade, Hugh Wade, Peggy
Our oldest documented known Langford ancestor is:
George Langford, Sr. was born 1727 in Brunswick County (now Lunenburg County), Virginia, and died May 1782 in Warren County, North Carolina. He married Judith [--?--] Abt. 1754 in North Carolina. She was born Bet. 1727 - 1738 in Prob. Virginia, and died Aft. 1786 in Prob. Warren County, North Carolina.
Another key ancestor in my research, who is George's grandson is: Benjamin D. Lankford, Sr. was born 1795 in Warren County, North Carolina, and died December 10, 1854 in Warren County, Kentucky. He married (1) Nancy Wood Abt. 1817 in Prob. Kentucky, Possibly North Carolina, daughter of Henry Wood and Sarah Lawson. She was born July 20, 1795 in Warren County, North Carolina, and died October 02, 1840 in Kentucky (Probably not Simpson County).

Wade, Ron E-mail: [email protected] My line comes from James Langford (I) who died in 1777 in Johnston County, NC but I have been unable to go back farther than him. His wife was named Martha and died in Johnston County, NC in 1779 and both have recorded wills. They had three children, Mary born in 1772 in NC, Edna who was born 1774 in NC and married Lewis Teal in Johnston County and who probably died in Anson County, NC but I have nothing else on either of these children of James. The mass of my research is on the thousands of descendants of James and Martha's third child, James Langford (II) born 11 MAR 1770 in Johnston County, married Winifred Brady 24 May 1791 in Johnston County and died 26 OCT 1854 in Buena Vista, Marion, Georgia. James (II) had nine children and this family migrated from NC to Washington County, Georgia which became Hancock in 1793 and in an area that was called old "Switch-Back" because it was bounced from one county to another from Jones to Bibb to Stewart to finally Marion County, Georgia. After James (II)'s death the family spread across the south to Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas and Texas. I descend from James II to his son from his second wife, Candis Vinson of Jones County, Ga. and their son, Young Marion Langford born 10 MAY 1831 Bibb County, Georgia. Young Marion Langford handled his father's estate after James (II)'s death and then moved to Leake County, Mississippi with his wife's family, the Nutt family and following the Civil War to Upshur County Texas where he died 10 SEP 1916. I have listed all of the descendants of James I that I have been able to locate and have spent as much time as possible locating photographs of all of these people and stories of their lives which I have recorded in the book. I welcome contact with any other Langford researchers.
Karmen Slater Earnheart E-mail: [email protected] 5th great granddaughter of James O. Langford I am researching James O. Langford b: abt. 1750 & pregnant wife (Unknown Collins) came by ship from England around 1767. When James O. Lankford and family moved on from Jackson County, Georgia to St. Clair County, Alabama their name was spelled "Langford" it was still this way for a few years early on then became "Lankford". James Langford was listed in the 1798 Tax Digest of Georgia. He was shown in Oglethorpe Co., Thompson's District, page 027. James was an Englishman who came from Virginia to Georgia. This would seem to indicate James did not make any lengthy stops in North Carolina or South Carolina and was probably not connected with the Langfords in those states as assumed by Stewart (and later by Sybil Wood McRay who seemed to take her information from Stewart's books). This has not been researched at this time. In the 1800 census of Georgia, James Langford, age forty-five and above, was shown in Oglethorpe Co. Peter Lankford was born in the second year of the Revolutionary War. He went from Georgia to St. Clair County, Alabama (Mississippi Terriotory) in 1815. He lived in St. Clair County for 21 years before moving to Dekalb County, Alabama after the removal of the Cherokee tribe out of northeast Alabama were the Lankford family were some of the earliest settlers. Peter lived in Dekalb County for 6 years before moving on to Tishomingo County, Mississippi were died in 1853. As he moved on the older children remained in Alabama, sons Washington Lankford in St. Clair County and John and Robert E. Lankford and daughter, Virgina Jane Frazier remained in Dekalb County. On 16 December 1806, Peter Langford (my 4th great grandfather) married (1st) Nancy Borough in Jackson Co., GA. Seven children were born to this union. Peter Lankford marries (2nd) Jinsa Washburn on January 3, 1833 in St. Clair County, Alabama and they produced 13 children. Giles b: 10/20/1837 is my 3rd great grandfather. After Peter died in 1853, Jinsa moved with her remaining children (lost several during the Civil War) from Mississippi to Texas. Most of the descendants lived in and around Navarro and McLennan County, Texas. Karmen Click here to return to the top of this page

My Lankford is John D. Lankford, born ca 1806 in VA. His wife in 1850 was Harriett unknown. His daughter, Nancy Ann Lankford, married William Carnall Jones in 1838 in Lauderdale County, TN. The main names I am researching for this line is LANKFORD, JONES.
DNA testing for my Jones line puts them in VA in 1660. Since Nancy Lankford was born in AL I think the line must have come through the Southern route of migration. My great grandfather is James Lafayette Jones, son of William and Nancy Jones. I wonder if this comes from the Lankford line somewhere.
Thank you, Dorothy

"Whetstone Bob" Langford E-mail: [email protected]
I'm not a "Researcher" per se, but I'm seriously looking for the father of Stephen Langford of Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle Co., Ky, b. Abt. 1746, d. Feb-May 1811. You can post my name if you like, at least temporarily.
Most indicators point to Benjamin of Pittsylvania Co., Va, b. Abt. 1725, d. 1810, but we've yet to prove it "beyond a reasonable doubt", as they say in capital murder cases. If anyone can make that connection or tell me for sure who Stephen's father was, I'll fly them to Cancun in my private jet (just as soon as I win the Lottery). Actually, finding Stephen's father would be better than winning the lottery.

Walker Lankford (b. abt. 1769, Halifax Co. VA, of Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co. KY, d. 1847 in Clay Co. IN), m. Mary or "Polly" Warren (b. 1780-1784 in VA, d. 1870, in Clay County, IN. They were parents of

She is currently trying to validate the connection of: Nicholas Lankford (d. 1742-1743, of Caroline Co. VA), m. Katheryn Guiney. They are thought to be the parents of Walker Lankford above.
Joseph Lankford (b. abt. 1728-29 in VA or NC, of Pittsylvania and Lincoln Cos. VA), m. Mary ___ of Lincoln Co. KY, d. aft 1801, in Knox Co., KY. They are thought to be the parents of Walker Langford.

My oldest documented Langford ancestor is:
William Ethelred Langford (called Ethelred) born 1822 in SC. He married Elizabeth Nancy Ray (daughter of Thomas Ray) in 1846 in Bibb Co, Georgia. They lived in Monroe Co, Georgia in 1850 and Lowndes Co, Georgia in 1860. The children of Ethelred and Elizabeth Langford:
John T. b. 1847 Bibb Co, GA Martha b. 1850 Monroe Co, GA Mary Fannie b. 1852 Monroe Co, GA William E. b. 1854 Lowndes Co, GA Allen F. b, 1857 Lowndes Co, GA Charles E. b, 1860 Lowndes Co, GA Joseph E. b. 1862 Lowndes Co, GA
Ethelred is believed to be a son of William Langford, Jr. and Martha King (?) , grandson of William Langford, Sr. and Sarah Jordan, and great grandson of John Langford and Winifred (?) all of Newberry, SC. I Have not been able to confirm this lineage. Some say he is a son of Parish Langford. I do not agree. I descend from Ethelred's daughter, Martha, who married Levi F. Dasher (also a Civil War veteran).
