Phoebe Jane McClung was the daughter of Jonas B & Rebecca Reed McClung. Phoebe married John B Langston 8 Apr 1839 in Fayette Co., AL. They had eleven children; Rebecca M, Lavica J, Sarah, Margaret A, Pheby J, Adaline, Caroline, Jesse J, John W, Amanda M, & Mary F Langston.

Phebe Jane McCLUNG was born about 1824 and thus was the seventh of the McCLUNG children.

Phebe married in the early 1840's to John B. LANGSTON who was born around 1818-1820 in South Carolina. / Phebe and John raised a very large family and remained around Bluff. / Phebe and John rest today at the Springhill Cemetery at Bluff in unmarked graves. Most of their children also are buried there.

Phebe and John's family consisted of two sons and nine daughters. Among these were a set of twins whom both were deaf and dumb. Also the youngest son was deaf and dumb.

Phebe McCLUNG and her husband, John B. LANGSTON, raised a family of eleven. This family was probably the largest of all the different sets of old Jonas McCLUNG's grandchildren.

Phebe's oldest child was Rebecca Mary "Polly" [LANGSTON], who was born around 1842. Polly never married.

Next was Luvica Jeridia "Vicey" [LANGSTON], who was born around 1844. She married Samuel Houston HANKINS. Vicey's only child was Thomas Jefferson HANKINS, who was born August 20, 1884. / Mr. HANKINS is living today near Crossville at the age of 94 years. / He is very alert and has a good memory. He told me many details regarding the McCLUNG family.

Phebe's third child was Sarah "Sally" [LANGSTON], who married J.W. BYERS.

Fourth was Marjan [Margaret Ann LANGSTON] who married John [Riley] TAYLOR and moved to Arkansas. [1]

Next was Jane [LANGSTON] who married Dan SORRELS, who was a preacher.

Caroline and Adaline, who were twins, were the next two children. Both were deaf and dumb and, because of this, neither ever married.

The eighth child of Phebe's was Jesse J. LANGSTON who was born July 12, 1855. Jesse married on July 13, 1876 to Jerusha A. SOUTH. / Among Jesse's children is a daughter, Maybelle, who married Fenton MOORE. Mrs, MOORE is 83 years old. She lives near Bluff today not too far from her father's and grandfather's old home-places. / Mrs. MOORE has an excellent memory and she provided me with lots of information regarding the McCLUNGs.

Phebe's ninth child was John William [LANGSTON] who, like the twins, was deaf and dumb. He was briefly married to a Miss DYER.

Last were two more girls. They were Amanda [LANGSTON], who married Thadus ROWLAND, and the youngest, Frances "Fannie" [LANGSTON]. Fannie was born in 1865 and she married John BARTON and moved to Jasper.
