Notes for Samuel
Langston:
A brother of one my
ancestors settled in Jackson Co. Georgia. His name was
Samuel Langston. He
made his will Oct. 3, 1825 and it was probated Oct. 31,
1825. He left
everything to his daughters -- Alcy Wright, Betsy Rhea,
Rachael Williamson and
Mary Blackstock. His executors were "my
friend and
brethren Edward Adams
and Joseph Davis". Witnesses Jeremiah Reeves, John
Wallis, Geo. Adams.
I suspect but have no
proof that he also had sons but didn't name them since
he had already given
them their share.
There may have also
been others in my family that settled in Jackson Co.

More will be said
about Isaac Langston later. We continue with Daniel and Martha Edwards
Langston.
There is evidence
that they were land speculators and
money lenders as well as farmers. In 1813, they lent Isaac Hawkins $700. The
note Hawkins signed stipulated that the obligation would be void if Hawkins
deeded to the Langstons 300 acres on the wagon road from Union to Cook's Bridge
on the
When Daniel died in
1822, he was probably in his mid-fifties. An inventory of his goods and
chattels and the long drawn-out probating of his estate over the next 36 years
reveal considerable about
these ancestors of
Maggie Langston. Named administrators, Martha, his wife, and
Isaac, his oldest child, immediately approved expenditures of $103.22, for
"coffin, saving peaches, pulling fodder, etc." The chattels consisted
of 9 cows and calves, 30 hogs, 4 horses,10 sheep and 16 geese, valued at $257.
Among other more valuable items were: 3 bedsteads, beds and furniture, $120;
wagon, $25; tools, $18; hogs head of molasses, $65; 75 gallons of brandy,
$27.75; 50 barrels of corn, $100; spinning machine, loom with gears and 2
spinning wheels and reel, $42.25; 17 hundredweight of cotton, $13; 7
hundredweight of fine flour, $28; 9 bushels of wheat, $13.50; 21 pounds of
wool, $8; book collection, $5. Such other goods as tableware, kitchen utensils,
leather, scythe and ladle, tables, chests, chairs,
barrels, shotgun,
pewtor ware, cotton and wool clothing, coffee mill and grinder and bee stands
brought the total value of all goods and chattels to $909. Nearly a century
later a similar inventory of Mal Clements' holding would not have 'been
strikingly different from Daniel Langstons'.
The Daniel Langston
homestead at the time of his death was appraised at $216, which was
considerably less than its true worth. Martha occupied the house and owned a
third of the 108 acre tract. After son Isaac moved to

Obituary
June 10, 1837
Died on Tuesday, the 23rd ult.,
Mrs. Laodicea Springfield, aged
71 years, wife of
Thomas Springfield. The deceased was the daughter of Solomon Langston of Revolutionary
memory, whose family perhaps suffered more from the ruthless ravages of the
Tories and Indians than almost any other, and the subject of this remark took
an active part in the struggle and performed many daring deeds on behalf of her
suffering country and friends. She was the
mother of *22 children
* and has left about 140 grand and great grand
children. She was a
kind and affectionate wife, mother, and neighbor, and has
left a large circle of
acquaintances to deplore her loss.
***************************************************************************************
A Rebel For The Cause
Of Freedom
During the
Revolutionary War
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"DARING
DICEY"
A courageous young
girl of about 16 years, was a rebel for the cause of
Freedom during the
Revolutionary War. In fact, her Patriotism to the
American cause was so
great, it earned her the pseudonym "Daring Dicey".
She provided valuable information
to the Whigs and harassed the enemy
during the entire war.
This was Dicey Langston, the daughter of Solomon
Langston of
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Langstons lived in
area concentrated with loyalists, many of whom
were their relatives,
so it was easy for Dicey to hear what the Whigs
were up to. She would
then cross the
Whigs. Eventually, the
Tories became suspicious of her actions and
threatened Solomon,
Sr., saying that they would hold him accountable for
Dicey's action.
Solomon scolded her and for awhile she discontinued her
reports.
Bloody Bill Cunningham
and his Scouts were a company of loyalists, so
called because of
their "ruthless cruelty". When Dicey heard by accident
that the Bloody Scouts
were about to visit the "Elder settlement"
(a.k.a. the Elder
settlement, or Little Eden, Roster of South Carolina
Patriots in the
American Revolution) 20 miles away where her brother
James and some friends
were living, she was determined to warn them. She
left home in the
middle of the night and walked many miles, crossing
streams and marshes on
foot, as there were no bridges. She crossed the
Tyger, which was
swollen from the recent rains. She finally made it to
her brother's house
and warned him of the Bloody Scout's intentions to
destroy them. He and
his friends rushed to warn everyone, and the next
day, when the 'scout'
arrived, they found the area deserted, no one was
there for them to
"wreak their vengeance."
This was posssibly the
exploit that secured her place in history.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
An expert shot and
rider, Dicey made the trip, by night, and the longer
she travelled, the
darker it seemed to get. The road ahead was barely
discernible. And the
creeks and swamps held unseen tangers. But her
greatest threat came
while submerging in the dark, rain-swollen icy
waters of the Enoree
river. It was difficult to cross in daylight.
Almost impossible in
darkness. At times she had to fight the threatening
currents but
subsequently she arrived at the encampment. The spirits of
the men were so low
that she had boards torn from a roof to make a fire:
she then baked
hoecakes for each soldier. Spirits lifted, the Bloody
Scouts' attack was
thwarted. The whole community was saved. A dripping
wet Dicey returned
home in time to cook breakfast for her father, never
telling him that she
was gone all night long.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For her information to
the Patriots, Bloody Bill Cunningham and his
Scouts took revenge on
Dicey's father, Solomon, with whom she lived in
shoot. Dicey lunged in
front of a soldier's cocked weapon and informed
the assailants,
"You will have to shoot me first!"
This courage was
rewarded. Cold-blooded as they were, they could not
bring themselves to
shoot. So the Tories left.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dicey's disregard of
personal danger, where service could be rendered
was remarkable. One
day, returning from a Whig neighborhood in
Spartanburg District,
she was met by a company of Loyalists, who ordered
her to give them some
intelligence they desired respecting those she had
just left. She
refused; whereupon the captain of the band held a pistol
to her breast, and
ordered her instantly to make the disclosures, or she
should "die in
her tracks". Miss Langston only replied, with the cool
intrepidity of a
veteran soldier: "Shoot me if you dare! I will not tell
you," at the same
time opening a long handkerchief which covered her
neck and bosom, as if
offering a place to receive the contents of the
weapon. Incensed by
her defiance, the officer was about to fire, when
another threw up his
hand, and saved the courageous girl's life.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another time, her
brother James had left a rifle in her care, which she
was to keep hid till
he sent for it. He did so, by a company of "
Men", who were to
return by his father's dwelling. On arriving at the
house, the leader
asked the young girl for the gun. She went
immediately, and
brought it; but as she came towards the soldiers, the
thought struck her
that she had neglected to ask for the countersign
agreed upon between
her brother and herself. Advancing more cautiously,
she observed them that
their looks were suspicious; that for aught she
knew they might be a
set of Tories; and demanded the countersign. The
leader answered that
it was "Too late. We have the gun now, and its
holder,
too!"
"Do you think
so?" Dicey turned the barrel to his head and said, "No you
don't. And you won't
unless you give me the sign!" she cried, cocking
it, and presenting the
muzzle at the leader. "If the gun is in your
possession, take
charge of her!" Her look and attitude of defiance
showed her in earnest;
the countersign was quickly given; and the men,
laughing heartily,
pronounced her worthy of being the sister of James
Langston. As the men
left, the leader lingered and looked back at Dicey
and smiled. She returned the smile. The
leader, Thomas Springfield,
would become her
husband after the war.
After the struggle
with the mohter county ended, Dicey married Thomas
and moved into the
Greenville District of South Carolina near Traveler's
Rest. Here she lived
and died near
monument today
honoring a girl that dared to risk her life because of
her love for
liberty."
