Both sons immigrated with their mother (presumably) in 1886, and have lived in the United States for 14 years.

I am not sure on their naturalization status. They are both listed as farmers and have not been unemployed in 1900.

They can both read, write, and speak English.

This is the first census that I found Richard Langdon listed on with his family. This is the 1881 England census in Cornwall, St. Agness. Richard is listed with his mother, Mary Ann Langdon who is described as the head of the house hold. The family is living in the village of Trevellas. Even though, she is listed as married her husband is not in the household. It is crossed out that she is a wife of a gold miner. She is 36 years old and was born  at St. Agnes (which is a small area close to Truro).

Her daughter Minnie listed next. She is 13 and is listed as a scholar (she goes to school). She also was born in St. Agnes.

John is Mary Ann's son who is 10 years old. He is a scholar and was also born in St. Agnes.

Richard is the last child listed. He is 7 years old, is a scholar, and was born in St. Agnes.
