Dicey Langston

Laodicea Langston, also known as Dicey Langston, was born a patriot and grew up on a farm in South Carolina that was concentrated with loyalists. A lot of these loyalists were her friends and family. She acted as a spy for the patriots at the time of the American Revolution^[1] with all her friends and family being loyalists, it was really easy for her to find out what the loyalists were planning to do next. One time she overheard her loyalist neighbors planning an attack on a couple of patriots, she was able to get in contact with those people and warn them about them being attacked.

When Dicey got older she married Thomas Springfield after the war and together they had a total of 22 kids. Dicey and Thomas moved into the Greenville district of South Carolina. Dicey lived there for the rest of her life and died near Enoree Church.

Dicey stood for freedom and what she did really helped the Patriots. Whenever she found out information about what the loyalists were going to do she'd ride her horse to wherever she needed to go to warn the people that were to be affected. She died after the war, at age 71, in her home in South Carolina.^[2]
