  • Notes 
    • John Langston III was probably born at Sarum Plantation. Since John II inherited it, in residence, near 1700 and John III was born in 1710, they probably still lived there. That is probably why he wanted it back and John II, having let it get away, bought it back for him in 1739.
      John the third married Agnes Mangham before 1731.
      The gift deed places him in Nansemond County, Virginia in 1739.
      By the year 1743, John III had moved his family westward to "old" Edgecombe County, North Carolina. (Family genealogists have dubbed him, "The Carolinian".) In 1743, John III appeared before the County Council to "Prove his Rights". This document shows the population of the Langston Plantation at this time to be six whites and two blacks.
      The date of Agnes' death is not known but she and John III had ten children. Their names were Absolom, James, Solomon, Amy, Jechonias, Louisa (Luville), Patty (Martha), John, Joseph, and Jesse.
      By second wife, Elizabeth Persons, he had Elizabeth, Sarah (Sally), Rebecca (Bekka), Samuel, Mary (Molly) and Frances.
      In 1755, in Granville (formerly Edgecombe) County, John Langston III's holdings totaled more than fourteen hundred acres. He operated a grist-mill. There are numerous records of "gift deeds" to his sons. The best source of information about them is "Langstons and their kin". When the American Revolution began, they made the decision to leave North Carolina. They settled first in Spartanburg County, South Carolina.
      After settling in South Carolina, John III and several of his sons and grandsons participated in the struggle for Independence. The Daughters of the American Revolution recognized John III as a "Patriot". The family paid a high price for their quest for freedom. Many of the Langstons served in the Military, and one of John III and Elizabeth's grandsons, James, son of Solomen Sr., was killed in the fighting. Solomen Sr. was himself a lieutenant in the Spartanburg "Spartan" Regiment, Joseph Langston served as a lieutenant in Captain Merritt's Company in North Carolina and Laodicea Langston has been named a heroine of the Revolution.
      After the end of the War, John III and Elizabeth moved to Greenville County, South Carolina. His will left the home place and seven slaves to Elizabeth with the stipulation that all be sold at her decease. His children received inheritances of money, slaves, furniture, livestock and some land.
      The will indicated that John III owned a fair sized tract of land and that he operated a grist mill, as he had in North Carolina.
      Elizabeth died four years after John III. Since the eldest son, Absolom, had already died, the second eldest son, James, sold the land, disposed of the property and settled the estate.
