JONES MEMORIAL LIBRARY
2311 MEMORIAL AVENUE
LYNCHBURG, VIRGINIA 24501
(434) 846-0501
JAMES STEPTOE LETTER TO FRANCES LANGHORNE, 16 October 1821
James Steptoe writes to his daughter, Frances Langhorne, wife of Henry
Scarsbrook Langhorne, concerning the purchase of “some articles of dress” for the
daughters of “Mr. Johnston” and asks that her husband, “Harry,” lend him $45.00.
James Steptoe, 1750-1826, was clerk of the court in Bedford County, Virginia, for
54 years. His daughter, Frances, married Henry Scarsbrook Langhorne in 1816. “Mr.
Johnston” is probably Charles Johnston of Sandusky who married Steptoe’s daughter,
Elizabeth Prentiss Steptoe in 1806.
