Jan, Your Langhorne Tabb is brother to my Elizabeth Tabb who married Drury Scruggs in Cumberland Co before 1782. Elizabeth is not listed in the Charles Parish Register, York Co VA as Langhorne and the older children are listed. I believe she and the following three siblings were born as Thomas Tabb and Lockey Langhorne left York Co for Cumberland co abt 1753 or so. Thomas is found in Cumberland about then and there are at least 3 more daughters born...Martha who married James Douglas, Lockey who married Jesse Cobbs and a daughter who predeceased her father but who apparently married a Jesse Boatwright (Boatwrite/ Boatrite).

"Cumberland County, VA and Its People,", pg. 104, "Thomas Tabb came to Cumberland County in 1750 from York County, Virginia. (DB 1, 168). He bought lands on Willis River and Randolph's Creek, his home being "on lower side Randolph's Creek," adjoining land of Maurice Langhorne. (DB 5, 484). He died in 1782 (WB 2, 291) after having deeded his lands to his son, Langhorne Tabb, and his sons-in-law: Robert Brown, Jesse Cobbs, Jesse Boatwright, and James Douglass."

Same family. different child. Do you have name of wife of Thomas Hugo Tabb? or any other siblings. In that line, I have nothing beyond Langhorne Tabb m. Judith Cox in 19 Nov 1771. I also have no record for marriage of Thomas Tabb to Lockey Langhorne, although I'm 98% positive that's who she was. Without the records of Warwick Co, it's doubtful it can ever be proven. If you have other info, would greatly appreciate help. Thomas Tabb b. 5 sept 1719 Charles Parish, York Co Va, d. will proven 22 Apr 1782 cumberland Co VA. m. Lockey Langhorne b. 1723 Warwick Co Va d. before 1781, not named in will of Thomas Tabb as she predeceased him.
