Research Notes

His name switched back and forth between Langton and Langdon over the years. Specifically, note the death record uses Langdon and his headstone shows Langton.

I do not think Simeon linked on here is their child. I think he possibly belongs to Parents: Hezekiah Root 1747 - 1808 and Mary (Barnes) Andrus 1756 - . 10/31/21 sent a message to his record owner. Findagrave #65518845. 1/2/21 Removed Simeon as a child. Did not hear from record owner.
