April 20, 1694. Katherine Langston, widow of John Langstone...granted 380 acres on Cyprus Branch of Sarum Creek in Nansemond County, Virginia.

From Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume 3, page 26 (Patent Book 9):

John Nicholls, 249 acres, Upper Parish of Nansemond Co.; at a place called the Cyprus Swamp; adjoining KATHERINE LANGSTONE; 6 June 1699, page 190.Transportation of 5 persons: John Nicholls & Sarah Nicholls, his wife; John Nicholls, Ann Nicholls, Mary Nicholls.

Many accounts on http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/

list Katherine with the maiden name of Mountford or Mulford, but I've seen no documentation of either of these surnames.

Katherine was the wife of John I, but documentation is needed to prove she was the grandmother of John III (if he was John III)

From Cavaliers and Pioneers, Volume 2, 1666-1695, Nell Marion Nugent, Virginia State Library, Richmond, Virginia, 1977, page 388 (Patent Book 8):
