He was son of Nicholas Langton, and his wife Letitia Daniel, and was born in Kilkenny, August 2, 1583, and studied at the Irish College, Salamanca, where he was ordained priest by July 20, 1620. He was admitted to the Society in the Province of Toledo, April 27, 1622.
After a year in the Novitiate at Madrid, he was sent to the College at Huete, apparently for health reasons, but in November 1625 was back in Salamanca at the Royal College, to finish his studies.
Correspondence between the General and Father Richard Conway shows that Father Langton was to be sent eventually to the Irish Mission. Five years later, the General asked the Provincial of Toledo to send Father Langton to Ireland, but it was impossible to establish whether he was still alive when permission arrived for him to return to his country.
In 1628 he had been teaching Humanities in his Province’s College of San Clemente, and after that his name disappears from the catalogi.
