John lived in New Kent and Nansemond County, VA, and Chowan (now Gates) County, NC. John as the eldest son apparently inherited the Sarum Creek property in Chowan County, North Carolina, from his mother, Katherine Langston. The first mention of John Langston II was July 30, 1726, when he was granted 450 acres in Chowan, North Carolina. it is uncertain whether he ever lived on this property as he appeared to have lived andied in Nansemond County, Virginia.
A deed was made by John Langston II on November 25, 1739, involving a land swap. It read in part "plantation tract...on the north side of the Sumerton Swamp, containing 200 acres...to Richard Green...(in trade) for a plantation in Chowan County called Sarum, 150 acres which is part of a tract formerly taken up and patented by one Katherine Langston." The document was signed by John Langston II and witnessed by Jon Langsto, Jurn. (John Jr.), Thomas Langston, William Langston, and Joseph Vann. Other items of interest revealed in the deed were that John Langston II was of Nansemond County, Virginia, and the he made the trade "for his son John."
On December 12, 1739, John Langston II of Upper Parish, Nansemond County, Virginia, sold to his son William Langston of Chowan County, North Carolina, 100 acres from the original tract patented by Katherine Langston. The deed was witnessed by John Langston, Jr., Robert Rogers, and Richard Green.
The last 450 acres of Katherine's land was sold by John Langston, Sener (Sr.) to Charles Russel for 40 barrels of tar. Witnesses include Jacob Langston, William Landen (Langston?).
The last mention of John Langston II was from a vestry book of Upper Parish, Nansemond County, Virginia. The first entry indicates John paid one tithable over charge. The second item indicates his land was "processioned."
No will has been found for John and his wife's name remains unknown. However, six children have been identified by various deeds.
