Langdon Tree
I’m starting with Rufus Elder. I’ve seen many trees with his parents listed as Lucy Moorehouse and John Langdon, but there is no proof yet. Only speculation. Hopefully we can make a connection in the future. As I understand it, at least one well documented Langdon has done a DNA test and the above mentioned names don’t show up. I don’t know enough about these tests to understand what that means, but it provides a good starting point. Rufus Langdon of New York is well documented as the start of this particular line of Langdons. So here we go...
NOTE: If I have a page for this person I’ll try to link them.
