Pvt. Joel Langston served in the Confederate Army from 1862 until his death at the skirmish of Old Franklin, Mississippi, January 2, 1865.

The location of his grave is thought to be in Franklin unmarked where the skirmish took place.

He left behind his young wife, Mary Petty with 2 small children William Langston, 5 & Lillie Langston (Gamble), 3.

His parents Anner Hudspeth & John McClure Langston

One brother:
William Rhodes Greenwood Langston
Three sisters:
Martha "Puss" Langston Roberts
Lucy Langston Dean
Mary "Mollie" Langston Johnson.

I am placing a memorial in the Langston Cemetery where he would have been laided to rest if he had been brought home.
