  Alexandria
  Printer living in Alexandria in 1799.
  The only record of Langston in the Virginia printing trade is his listing in the Alexandria city census for 1799, living in the second ward. He is only seen in the newspaper record in an 1801 sale of town lots there, when a John Fitzgerald offered for sale property on King Street that he had acquired from Langston. No other trace of him has yet been discovered, a result of the lack of a clearer indication of his identity.
