George Langton of Northampton. Immigrated from Lincolnshire, England to America between 1634 and 1636.

George's signature is written "George Langton", so it appears that LANGTON is the original spelling.

The scan of the typed research from Robert Langton says that he came to America (Boston) from Lincolnshire (England) between 1634-1636

Said to have arrived about 1640 in Wethersfield, Massachusetts (now Connecticut).

Moved to Springfield, MA in 1646, and married Hannah Haynes (nee: Lambe) on 29 June 1648.

Inlate summer of 1649 according to the “Pynchon Court Records” Richard Sykes andGeorge Lanckton provided an estimate of damage done by 8 teams of oxen to HenryBurt’s marsh wheat “to be the value of 12bushells “in their best appresensions”. It is recorded that he was a town officer in 1650 and that he and John Stebbins were; "chosen surveighorsof the highways of the town for the yeare ensuinges.”(History of Springfield, 1646)

George Langdon was a town officer of Springfield in 1650. (Central New york Family Histories, CD157)

1658 - removed to Northampton, Mass.

In 1657/58, George and others signed a petition requesting the General Court to provide clarification of the town grant, finding them a mi nister, and advise on preventing "excesse of liquor in comeing to Towne and of Sider." He also signed the charter petition for Northampton.

Noted as one of the first settlers of New England by John Farmer. Date given is 1658.

In 1658 he contributed 4 acres of land toward the support of the m inister, Eleazar Mather (related to Cotton Mather, the brimstone and hel lfire preacher of the time). In 1661 he signed the church covenant that established the First Church of Christ. The population of Northampton wa s about 300 at this time. In 1672, he and a number of others, contributed to the upkeep of Harvard College. His portion being 2 bushels of wheat, valued at 6 shillings.

Possibly has another daughter Bridget, born in England, according to one source. And Esther, again born in England.

Was apparently a master carpenter and was asked to do the building on the church in Springfield. But I haven't seen the source.

The following are claims that appear on various sites on the internet but which are either impossible or unlikley. To date i have seen proof of none of them: - Father was Jacque D'Landon from France. - Was born in Herefordshire. - One of his sons was the Tobias Langdon of New Hampshire. - Was an officer in the army of Oliver Cromwell in England. - Is the ancestor of all Langton/Landons in the USA today.

Savage says 7 children by first wife.
