Hi Langdon family!  I just joined the website and am hopeful that someone, somewhere...can help me break down this proverbial brick wall that I call my Langdon connection.  I'm looking for someone with information concerning Peter Boyle b. circa 1824 in Ireland, married Alice Boyle in NYC and served in the CW, 3rd NY Lt. Aty, later moving to Northern Illinois.  He had no surviving male descendants to carry on the name.  Any ideas??

Terri Weideman says that Clara's father is Isaac. See her comments on the Langdon GenForum.

An Iowa history says that Clara and William Curtis died three days apart, but were buried on the same day.

B. F. Reed, History of Kossuth County, Iowa (Chicago: The S. J. Clarke Publishing Co., 1913)
Vol. 2, p228
John W. Curtis, born Columbia Co., NY, 18 August 1839, son of William and Clara (Langdon) Curtis, likewise natives of the Empire state, after farming in New York for about thirty years, the father moved to Massachusetts and there pursued his agricultural pursuits until his death in 1892. The mother died three days before her husband and both were buried on the same day.

I've hit a brick wall with Clara Langdon b. 1814 m. to William Curtis. Both were b. in Copake, Columbia, NY and they both died the same day in 1879. I am descended from their son, Philo, b. same place, 1849.

I am researching John Langdon 1707-1780 who mmarried Mary Hall, daughter of Josiah Hall and Mary Woodbury. John was the son of Tobias Langdon and Mary Hubbard. His will was written in Rockingham Co., New Hampshire. They had sons Woodbury and John and daughters Mary, Elizabeth, Abigail and Martha. I have quite a bit of information on Woodbury and John, but very little on their sisters. Woodbury Langdon was a well known merchant and ship owner at Portsmouth, NH and married Sarah Sherburne. Woodbury was an associate justice of the NH Supreme Court 1782-1783 and 1786-1791. In 1790 he became the first state supreme court justice to be impeached. His brother, John Langdon, was a political leader and in 1775 a delegate to the Continental Congress. He married Elizabeth Sherburne. .... Ruby Coleman
