    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Biographical info per the book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, p. 7-16, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale: "Shortly after the Rev. War, John married Mary Murdock. Mary was known by the nickname of Polly to the family. Her father was Hamilton Murdock. The date of their marriage is not known. Three children were born to John and Mary. The oldest, James Mangum, was born Dec. 6, 1791 at Newberry, So. Carolina. The next Child, Nancy, was born Nov. 11, 1794, and the third Child, Elizabeth, was born on Christmas Eve in 1798. Both Nancy and Elizabeth were born in South Carolina, but the town is not known. John's first wife, Mary, died, and after a time he remarried, this time to Gemima Goggins. John's brother William, was married to Gemima's sister, Anna. These two couples were apparently quite close, as John was the administrator of William's estate following William's death. Copies of the wills of both William and Anna are in the possession of the author. Two children were born to John and Gemima. The oldest, Cyrus, was born Jan. 5, 1805 [probably typo for 1803] at Newberry. He went by the nickname of Russ. After he grew up he married and moved to Texas where he left a large posterity. The other child was born June 17, 1804 . John's second wife died, and he was again left a widower."
