Thank you for replying to my post. The information that you supplied was some of what I already have on Redden and Lebby. My husband is their grandson. We were just at the cemetery a little over a week ago when another of their sons, Dewey Oneal Langston, was buried. I am looking for information about Redden's (family called him Harley) parents and siblings. I know that his parents were called Bennie and Rillie Langston, but I think that those were nicknames and not their formal names. I also know that Rillie was married to a Woodham after Bennie passed away and had at least two sons with him, Coley and Ira. I am planning on sending off for Harley's death certificate in hopes that it will give me some more information about his parents.

In the 1900 Federal Census, there is a Langston household listed with the father named William and a mother named Rachel. There were three children - Madison (age 6), Redden (age 4), and Mattie (age 2). Harley would have been 4 in 1900 since he was born in 1896, and his first name was Redden (his son told me that his signature was R. H. Langston), so those two pieces of info fit. However, I'm not 100 percent sure that this is the right family.

Thank you again for your reply. Happy hunting.
