Biography

Johanna was born in 1733. She died in 1824.

James Langston was born in Granville County, North Carolina, to John and Mary Agnes Mangum Langston. He served with his brothers Absolom and Solomon in Capt. Daniel Harris's company and William Eaton's regiment of the Granville County, North Carolina, militia in 1754. He received 150 acres on the Tarr river from his father on Dec. 25, 1760. The Granville County, North Carolina, tax list of 1768 recorded that James had one Negro slave by the name of Dina. After his wife Jane passed away, James married Joannah Davis in 1778. About 1820 after James's death, Joannah and most of the family moved over the river into Rabun County, Georgia. [1]

Please provide evidence that this Johanna Davis married James (not Joseph) Langston.
posted by C Handy
The wife of James Langston was Jane Rose, sister of William Rose, and not Jane Davis. See information here from a Langston family Bible: https://www.genealogy.com/forum/surnames/topics/langston/1662/ (Note: this means that William Rose's wife Amy was not a Langston; he refers to James Langston as "brother-in-law" in his will because Langston married his sister.)

Davis-16292 and Davis-7888 appear to represent the same person because: they share similar vital statistics--especially the death date and death place. The difference in spouses needs to be rectified.
