J. G. Langston
Born 1846
Died 1914

Langston, J. G., b. 1846; d. 1914. Listed in the Mississippi Confederate Grave Registrations as 12th Miss. Cav. However, no compiled service record is available at fold3 for this soldier in the 12th. Some think he might have been James Langston in the 11th (Perrins) Miss. Cav.

There is a J. G. Langston in the 22 (Consolidated) Louisiana, Co. H, who was transferred to 1 Miss Lt Arty in March 1865 by order of Gen. Maury. He appears on a list of prisoners of war surrendered 20 May 1865, at Post of La Grange, Tenn., where he was captured. In the Remarks section, it is noted that he "Left his command Mobile Mar 1865."

The regiment of this soldier is undecided for now. No pension record has been found to settle this question.
