Hi Don,

I don't know about the LANGSTON list, as I have not seen any activity for a
long time. I have a number of lists like that, though.

Don, Ona Brown (who is on this mailing list) is a descendant of William's,
through daughter, Nancy. Have you compared notes with her?

There is another Wm Langston:

Descendants of John Caleb Langston

1 John Caleb LANGSTON
. +Amanda Nestalee MCELYEA
... 2 William Absolom LANGSTON b: December 07, 1889
Jefferson Township, Izard County, AR d: October 14, 1967
Morriston Cemetery, Fulton County, AR
....... +Mary Ellen TAYLOR m: September 17, 1922
Fulton County, AR d: December 10, 1947 Wiles Cemetery, Ash Flat, Sharp
County, AR
......... 3 Betty LANGSTON
............. +Carl LECHLEIDNER
... 2 Lucius LANGSTON

Notes: Served as Deputy Sheriff of Fulton County, Commander of the American
Legion and as Mayor of Ash Flat.
============================================================
I don't have any knowledge of the QUIGLEY name at all. Have you talked
with T.J. Harper about this?

I have not seen the BILLINGSLEY book, but am told that it has some
errors. I wish I could help you, Don, but I don't recognize the group that
you are referring to. Hopefully, some of the LANGSTON researchers on this
list will be able to come to your aid!
