Re: James Langdon

LissaToups — 2009-11-11 22:50:59Z

No, I'm afraid not. James Langdon is my ggg grandfather - his son, James O. born 1834 in Ohio; Joseph O. born 1866 in Illinois, then my grandfather, Ewell born 1896 in Arkansas. My father was born in Arkansas 1924; my brother 1958 in Louisiana, and his son born 2003, the only one to continue the name. How do you relate to the family?

Re: James Langdon

LissaToups — 2009-11-10 02:36:51Z

Did you ever have success finding the parents of James Langdon? I am also looking for James Langdon who was born in the District of Columbia in 1800 and later lived in Illinois.

Thomas O. Langdon 1889 & Jessie Rankin Sweezey 1894 – Canada, Michigan

boxcarron — 2009-10-25 12:58:10Z

Any information would be greatly appreciated on Thomas O. Langdon born about 1889, possibly in Ottawa and his wife Jessie Rankin Sweezey, born Aug.24, 1894 in Verner, Ontario. Thomas and Jessie moved to Michigan in 1926. The 1930 USA federal census shows Thomas (electrician/contractor) and Jessie in Pontiac, Oakland, Michigan with son Donald (6yrs. old), step-daughter Margaret M. McGillis (15 yrs. old) and mother-in-law Margaret Jane (Edwards) Sweezey (67 yrs. old). Family obituaries from 1937-1967, show Jessie and Thomas as living in Ottawa. Thomas O. Langdon’s parents could be George Langdon & Martha Robbins Langdon. Martha was born about 1864 in Canada.

Re: Looking for Langdon ancestor's

GNDean — 2009-10-25 03:53:11Z

The only Langdon info I have in my tree is concerning my ancestor Mary E Langdon b. 24 Sept 1816 and d. 1903. Her parents were Issac Langdon b. 12 April 1773/8 and Elizabeth Gresham b. 4 Dec 1777. Some sources say that they had another daughter named Eliza 20 July 1817; however one source said to be from the Chronicles of Wilkes Co pg 315 says Mary Langdon, daughter of Issac Langdon was the only child and her parents died when she was very young. Issac Langdon's parents may have been John Langdon and wife Mary B. Mary E Langdon, 1816, and Simeon Cunningham Ellington, b.10 May 1808 d.1882, were married on 6 Dec 1831. They were born, lived, and died in Wilkes County, Georgia. They had 11 children. I don't know if there is any link to your family, but I hope this will help you in your search. I will be on the lookout for more info. Please let me know if you find any info or connection for my Langdon's because I am anxious to find out more about my Mary E. Langdon's ancestors. Thank you and God bless you in your search. Ginny New Dean

Re: Langdon's of Georgia

GNDean — 2009-10-25 03:23:44Z

Do you have any connection to Mary E. Langdon 24 Sept 1816; Eliza 20 July 1817 whose parents were Issac Langdon 12 April 1773/1778 and Elizabeth Gresham 4 Dec 1777 who lived in Wilkes Co., Georgia? One source suggested Issac's parents may be John and Mary B. Langdon, but I am not sure of that at all. Another article in the Chronicles of Wilkes Co. Pg 315 says Mary Langdon, daughter of Issac Langdon, was the only child and her parents died when she was very young. If that is true, I don't know how Eliza fits in. My Mary Langdon married Simeon Cunningham Ellington on 6 Dec 1831. Simeon was born 10 May 1805. If you find any connections to or info on these Langdon's please let me know. If I find any info on your Samuel Langdon, I'll contact you again. Thank you very much. Ginny New Dean

heathgrae2 — 2009-08-24 07:13:17Z

Hello Graeme,
Thank you so much for taking the time to check this out, and post some answers for me. My Langdon/Flewellen line was a difficult one to check, and it was only last year, that I finally put it all in order, thanks to some help from a kind lady in England (Landon line) two distant ‘relis’ in New Zealand and England - (Flewellen) , without whose wonderful help I would probably still be looking. In particular, the Flewellyn (New Zealand) line ended up being the final barrier, but that too has now been sorted.
If you are researching either this Langdon or Flewellen line, please email me (heathgrae at bigpond dot com) (I’m sure you can work that out.) and I can give you quite a bit of info. Hilda Blanche Poolman was actually my G. Grandmother, my Grandfather being one of her sons - Ernest Leslie Flewellen.
Cheers,
Heather

Re: LANGDON Family - St. Ducamens, 1851

Graeme_Olney — 2009-08-22 05:08:48Z

Hi Heather

After a few yrs of your query sitting here I think Ive found your answer.

James and Sarah Jane Flewellen, after bringing up four boys in Williton - Henry James b.1853, William Langon b.abt 1855, Sydenham James b.abt 1860 and Robert b.1864, Emmigrated to New Zealand with or about the same time as Henry, Sydenham and Robert.

Their surname in most records (official and general) changed to Flewellyn.

William appears to have gone to Victoria, Australia.

James and Sarah Jane died in NZ in 1898 & 1899 respectively.

Sydenham went by the name Sydney James

And as you will probably already know Robert left NZ and move to Australia, Where he married Hilda Blanch Poolman.

Re: Looking for Langdon ancestor's

CarolLangdonGregory — 2009-08-16 13:50:33Z

Joseph B's parents are Oliver Langdon and Sarah Ann (possibly Watts). Oliver was born about 1807; however, it doesn't look like anyone has been able to get back past Oliver yet. I could look into it some but it would take quite a while as I have a number of other projects going on right now.

Would your Catherine Langdon be the Catherine L. Langdon who was born 31 Mar 1876 at Attica, Ohio and died 1 Dec 1952 at Toledo?

According to 1910 census, there was a Lee King listed as a step-son to Roy, and Lolla Krider is listed as a step-daughter. It looks like Roy and Catherine had just married in 1910 and Catherine had been married once before.

Re: H (M?) yrondia (Col?)eean Ofilia Langdon

Linda4946 — 2008-08-04 00:36:07Z

Ginny. An interesting tidbit. Her first name looks like Myronida, which is a female version of an Athenian general Myronides. Ofilia is also greek origin meaning "help". Can't make out the middle, but maybe one can assume it is greek also? Looks like "_cota" or "_eota" or the t could be an l. I think Frank and Maria probably read Greek history. Will keep looking for that middle name.

Re: Frank W. S. LANGDON

Linda4946 — 2008-08-03 23:08:20Z

Thank you, Ginny for sending me those photos. So kind of you. The Myrondia is intriguing, because Myron appears with Brotis twice. My uncle only had info on Alba, Elsie and Brotis as children of Frank and Maria, but then he didn't have access to what we can get now. I've let my subscription lapse but will pick it up soon. If I can help with anything let me know. Thanks again. Linda Meadows.

I'M SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION RE: MY PATERNAL GREAT GRANDMA. HER NAME WAS CATHERINE LANGDON (MARRIED NAME) BORN IN OHIO 1877 (OR ABOUT). SHE HAD A DAUGHTER, LALA, WHOSE LAST NAME WAS KRIDER -- NOT SURE IF CATHERINE WAS MARRIED OR NOT WHEN SHE HAD HER. OR, IT COULD BE ROY LANGDON WHO WAS LALA'S FATHER AND HE CARED FOR HER INSTEAD OF LALA'S MOTHER. I HAVE NO CLUE IF FATHERS DID THAT BACK IN 1903. LALA HAD A BROTHER, NILES, BORN 1911 IN OHIO (PROBABLY TOLEDO). I'M LOOKING FOR INFO REGARDING ANY OF THESE PPL. THANKS SO MUCH, IN ADVANCE.

Right, she would have been married TWICE before, because Lee King and Lala Krider were both Roy's step-children. My grandmother (Lala) named her second son, Lee -- which I find very interesting. Because of the fact my grandmother (Lala) flat out refused to give any info re: her family can only lead me to believe she MAY have been illetimate. If this is so, HOW does one find records? I'm new to this. Thanks for your reply.

Re: CATHERINE LANGDON ROY NILES LALA

uoladnil48 — 2009-03-19 22:55:59Z

Langdon would have been a married name. I'm not sure what her maiden name was. May have been King. She had 2 children prior to marrying Roy Langdon -- a boy, Lee King and a daughter, Lala Krider -- who was my paternal grandmother. Relatives asked my grandmother many times about her family and she REFUSED to give any info, which leads me to believe she MAY have been illetimate. And then I found the older brother, Lee King and now I don't know WHAT to think. LOL At one time, they (Catherine and Langdon) lived in Tiffin, OHIO. Thanks for your reply.

William Worley LANGDON

It's been a while since your post, but thought I would see if you have found anything out.

These people were originally from the Powhatan county area of Virginia. After the Rev War, members of these families scattered to the winds. The names are so similar, there might be a connection somewhere for you.

Charles LANGSDON born c1830 SC>Genesee, Whiteside County, IL

JimMiller599 — 2009-06-05 18:13:23Z

I recently found an old envelope that Charles LANGDON (LONGSDON?) of Coleta (Genesee), Whiteside County, IL received from Manchester, England in 1878. You can see the envelope on www.philgen.org (search on Whiteside, click on View, and scroll to the bottom of the page). The 1870 and 1880 censuses of Genesee, IL show that Charles was born in SC, but that his parents were born in England. Does anyone have information that Charles's parents were born in/near Manchester?

Here is a direct link to the photo of the envelope: http://www.philgen.org/index.php?option=com_fabrik&c=for...

The reason I have a photo of the envelope is because of my interest in using old envelopes and postcards in genealogical research. I have an article in the spring 2009 issue of New England Ancestors entitled Philatelic Genealogy and have started the philgen website. I do not know if the letter that was in the envelope still exists.

Please let me know what you think.

p85
"Samuel Langdon was born July 25, 1764. He married, Mar. 12, 1788, Jane Everett, who was born July 10, 1771, and who died Dec. 1, 1844. Samuel Langdon died June 19, 1822. They are buried in the old Friends' Cemetery in Queensbury. Their tombstones are probably the oldest there. Samuel and Jane Langdon had Twelve Children as follows, all born at Langdon's Corners, Washington County, N. Y."...

Hi
I am descended from Nicholas Langdon who was another son of John Langdon and Jane (Jenny) Waters, born in 1830. He migrated to Australia around 1848, supposedly to bring out some horses for two of his brothers (believed to be John and Joseph) who had come out earlier and were living in Victoria near Ballarat. Despite a promise to mother to return to England within a year, he never did.
I would love to hear from you.

Hi, I noticed your post on a family branch of the Price line I'm researching in Newton, Neshoba, Scott, and Leake Counties in MS. This is what I have on a Langdon family:

I.B. Langdon, b. abt. 1854, married Nancy. C.? MS
children:
Dora B. Langdon b. 26 Jan 1876 MS, d. Newton Co., MS 06 Mar 1961 married Daniel Henry Sephton. Their daughter Katie Sephton married Johnnie Richard Price, son of Wiley Palmer Price and Martha A. Davidson of Leake Co. MS. Most of the family are buried in High Hill Baptist Ch. Cem., in Neshoba Co. in the "Four Corners" area, where Neshoba, Leake, Newton, and Scott counties meet. Those surnames were mostly from there.
