Langfords or Lankfords Who Served in the War of 1812
1812–SERVED IN WAR OF 1812 FROM NORTH CAROLINA?
LANGFORDS/LANKFORDS IN THE WAR OF 1812: I found a list of “Langfords & Lankfords in the Revolutionary War,” (alphabetized by first name), compiled by Mr. Robert Lankford, Sr., of Rutherford County, North Carolina (as posted at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~cmddlton/lgfdwr.html, accessed 1 May 2006, by shb). It has a subtitle, “LANGFORDS & LANKFORDS in the War of 1812.” I extracted all Langfords listed as having served in Virginia militias, during the War of 1812, trying to find out who the four Langford brothers were who served together, including Stephen Langford (m. Lydia Parent, father of Pleasant Shields Langfords). With hope that compiling regiments and states served from might help identify other Langfords as relatives, I also compiled Langfords serving in the War of 1812 from other states:

Howdy. The War of 1812 seems to be a very important and hot topic recently on several blogs. For those that are not aware, Ancestry.com has recently added a War of 1812 Pension and Bounty Land Warrant Index listing. This document proved to be instrumental for me and my Benjamin D. Lankford. There are numerous Langford’s listed in this index, from NY, to GA, etc. I would highly recommend you take a look if you subscribe to Ancestry.com. If not, I am sure someone would be willing to do a search for you for the pertinent facts in case you are considering ordering a copy of one of these records. NARA is about to SIGNIFICANTLY increase the costs of ordering these in the near future, so if you are after these records, NOW is the time.
James Langford in Jackson County, is a brother to John “Jack”, Stephen and Rufus Wiley Langford. This is my line, through John. James married Polly Holman. John served in the war of 1812, his wife Mary “Polly” Crane received a widow’s pension. Family tree DNA lists a descendent of Rufus Wiley with haplogroup I1a.
My grandfather was Wm Barton Allen, Jr., and my Dad was Melvin Ray (Skeet)Allen,Sr. I have roll#’s for Wm Sr and his wife Polly Ann Langford in the Eastern Band of Cherokee but do not yet have our enrollment. Do you know anything about Polly Crane’s Father, Chief Whooping Crane? How are you related to all the above? Please email a reply…I live in Noble, OK and my Dad, now deceased, was living in Anadarko, OK at the time of his death.
I am a dec. of Melinda Francis Allen, duaghter of Polly Crane(Langford). I have some info on the Chief. Can you share Roll#s and where you found them? I will send info on Chief Whooping Crane.
I am a desc of William Barton Allen Sr. Can you share info with me for Roll#s on Sr. and Polly Crane?
