John Langford who married Martha (Patsy Duke) in Warren County North Carolina are not the parents. John died in about 1823 in Warren county,N.C. and was Never any where else his whole life, His family came form Lunenburg co VA. and now well researched. I can send more data on that if anyone request it. I also copied the book ( Virginia's Langford book) and then wanted to know who the parents of this John were, , but after I ran into the Will of John Langford of Warren county and none of the sons name were mentioned I knew I had been climbing the wrong tree.............., then I knew that part of the book's research as faulty. That has now been 4 years,,,We descend from James Langford and Mary Polly Holman in Jackson County TN. Now to the job on hand. Rufus Wiley Langford born 1800 in S.C. shows in 1830 census in Overton Co. and John (jack) Langford born ca 1788/9 in S.C. and 1830 census in Overton County are related. Brother unknown (?) but both DNA tested to be from the same lineage in a DNA. That is as far back as it is. there are several possible families that were in SC at that time. In Jackson Co there was Stephen James Langford both son of Eli Langford Sr also from S.C. ( both from the same area,in South Carolina , but not related to John (jack) or Rufus Wiley Langford of Overton County TN. Not at all ---DNA test. They all ( Langford's- Lankford s) seemed to have appeared in upper North Western South Carolina after the Rev. War. which was a time America was on the move. Another time we may discuss where they may have come from. But right now, it is to find out who John and Rufus parents were.? Who were their other siblings,? ( John born 1788-9 and Rufus W born 1800 put the chance there were children born in those 11-12 years, who were they? Was John the oldest or did he have older siblings? Leander Langford who also was born in S.C (1850 Census Pope Co Ark. list him as 66 years of age ( he would have been born 1786 in S.C.) This Leander Langford served in the same unit as John (Jack) in the War of 1812, were they related? Again several possible choice of men born/ lived in that part of South Carolina. Now the real work starts, ALL HELP NEEDED. We have to go back 200 years in those Mountains of North western South Carolina and find the records and piece the families back together. Too many questions.( I am good at that.) (Grin) By the way from 1800 up the book of Virginia's is really almost right on, consider she wrote the book in 1979( I think?) before cyberspace, it is a wonderful book. Her book make life so much easier when I had finally traced my family back to TN, even if it had faults in it. I had names and ideas of who the various Langford belong to and etc in Jackson and Overton Counties.. too bad there isn't a road map like it for South Carolina. Guess we will make our own but we will cite sources. and 50 years from now someone else can come along and correct it!
