Proof:

Since John Calvin Langley was just a boy when coming to Indiana, I've included his father's information as well. His father, Jonathan Langley, would've been my first Langley Howard County Pioneer if he had lived two more years. He settled in Honey Creek Township, Clinton County in 1843 and died in 1856, two years before Honey Creek Township was annexed to Howard County.
