With reference to your question of YOST, the Index only indicates the surname, but with only a couple pages involved I checked on page 149 there is made note of a Dr. J. Yost being appointed Master of the Six Mile Lodge No. 412 Free and Accepted Masons, Hayden, Indiana. Also referencing page 100 it makes mention of J.L. Yost being in the first group of officers of this same above mentioned lodge. This was organized May 24, 1870. There was no reference to the names Langford nor Lankford. Hope this helps somewhat. Another thought, since you did not mention any years, have you checked the census records for Jennings County, or possibly the county wherein Hayden lies just for curiousity? I don't know if Hayden is in Jennings County or not. Antoinette (Tacoma, Washington) waughtel@oz.net Gary Olson wrote: > I have been reading your answers to people as they request their > Surnames.
