DEATH: Dover July 1705 ("July 18, 1705. Mr. Henry Langstar of Bloody-point deceased after ten days sickness, occasioned by a fall into his leanto, four stairs high, whereby being grievously bruised, it brought an inflammation upon him. He was about 100 years old, hale, strong, hearty man, & might have lived many years longer, if &c." [NHGRA> 3:104, citing Pike's Journal]). (Unlike many other early claims of extreme longevity, Henry Langstaff must have been very close to one hundred when he died, as he would have been about twenty when he first came to New England. He was certainly well into his nineties at his death.)

    ii   SARAH, b. say 1643; m. by 1663 Anthony Nutter (eldest child b. 27 December 1663 [GDMNH 516]; on 27 October 1704 Henry Langstaff gave livestock to "my daughter Sarah Nutter" [NHPLR 7:141]).
    iii   HENRY, b. about 1647 (aged 66 in 1713); d. by 1718, unmarried [GDMNH 415].

COMMENTS: On 3 June 170[4] Henry Langster "above ninety years of age" testified that "about the year 1635 he came with others from England and served at Little Harbor under the command of Capt. Neal..." [NHPP 2:530]. Some years earlier he had been more specific, deposing on 9 May 1699 as follows:
Henry Langster of Bloody Point, of Dover in this Province, aged ninety years or thereabouts, testifieth and saith, that about the year one thousand six hundred and thirty five, he arrived at the port of Piscataqua River, in the service of Captain Jno. Mason, & that he lived two years in the service of said Mason, with Mr. Walter Neal, one of the agents of said Mason at Little Harbor, then called Randevous" [NHPP 2:529].
