What we know of our progenitor William Henry Langley has been found through US Federal Census records, marriage records, Deeds, and information given by descendants on son's death record.
On the Census records, William H is consistently given as being born in North Carolina. The autosomal DNA tests done by multiple descendant lines tell us that we are related to James Langley and Betsy Humphlett/Umphlet through his mother Milly Langley.
We participate in the Langley Y-DNA project. Y-DNA has yet to reveal a paternal line. The closest match we have is Genetic distance of 4. There has only been on descendant of our line who has done the Y-DNA test. Hopefully as this moves along, someone else related to us will also do the the test.
1840, Milly Langley is in Laurel County, Kentucky and one of the hash marks is consistent with William's age.
1843, William H marries Nancy Carrier in Laurel County.
1850 William is shown as Wm. and Nancy on the Laurel County, KY census with 3 children.
1858 Cloudsberry Collier of Maryland assigns a War of 1812 Land Warrant to our William H Langley ... [Research showed that Cloudsberry never left Maryland and William never went to Maryland. Research in Land Bounty Warrants at the National Archives revealed The majority of those who received warrants under the acts of 1847 to 1855 did not use them to make land entries themselves but sold them to others who did. A Lawyer representing Collier acted on his behalf to make the assignee.]
1858 William H and Nancy are selling land in Mercer County, MO. .
Benedict was born in Missouri, so we can assume this was the county he was born in. One portion was sold to Benjamin Cox who's son married a daughter of William later, and one portion to a Elia Smith.
From 1860 to 1880 William and Nancy are in Daviess County, Missouri, United States.
1900 William and Nancy are with their Daughter Mary who married a John Nelson.
