Notes contributed by William Langley Bell: "Elizabeth is shown on the list of widows of Confederate soldiers who drew pensions, which was started in 1891. She was eligible because of the death of her husband, Miles Jefferson Langley, at Vicksburg, MS. He died during the Civil War, (the war between the states). In 1891 Elizabeth Ann Langley gave her Power-of-Attorney to her son Thomas Jefferson Langley to receive and receipt for whatever amount of money she may be entitled to from the State of Georgia as a widow of a Confederate Soldier. "On Nov 29, 1864 Mrs. M. J. Langley was given 8 bushels of corn by the "Silver Grays" a group of citizens from Harbin's District, Gwinnett Co., GA. This group provided protection and necessities for families of Confederate Soldiers during the Civil War. "Elizabeth began selling the family land after her father's death. She divided up the land as was prescribed by her father to his children. Also, she sold off land that was will to or given to his children. She also sold off some of her own land because she was too old to farm it and her son Thomas Jefferson Langley (who had lived with her until her death) had started his own family and did not have time to farm it either. What was remaining of the farm (known as the Old Langley Homeplace/farm) she left to her son, Thomas J. Langley and his family. This farm was located on the Langley Rd., Grayson, GA and 1/2 mile from the Old Jackson homeplace. The Jackson farm was owned by his grandather Seaborn Jones Jackson who when living with his mother he saw his grandfather daily. "The 1880 census, Elizabeth Ann Langley shows Seaborn Jones Langley (son), wife )Lillie Ann Langley), and three children living with her and also son Thomas Jefferson Langley. Seaborn J. died in 1883 and his wife and children stayed on living with her. TJL had left home (don't know where) and she asked TJL to return home and help her take care of the children. He stayed there for 3 years until he got married, then his wife joined him there and he lived there until he sold the old Langley homeplace around 1910."
