There is some documentation to indicate that Nathaniel (Nathan) is the son of Absolom and Christian Bennett Langston. I will contact Find-a-Grave about changing this. In Christian's will, recorded 21Jan1803, she appoints her two sons Nathan and Bennett as her executors. Caleb Langston names his brother Nathan in his will of 24June1800. There is another legal reference to Caleb as the son of Absolom Langston.
The DNA would be very similar since it is brothers of one family married sisters of another family. Solomon's profile is MP'd. Every source I could find for Nathaniel says Absalom is the father and same with mother.
I think it would be wonderful if the FindaGrave memorial manager will correct it and if a curator would MP Absalom as well.
I have requested a correction on the parentage of Nathaniel. In my request I sent along three verifiable pieces of documentation which indicate Absolom and Christian are his parents. This is a difficult line because, not only did brothers marry sisters, there are a number of marriages between Langstons and Bennetts. B
