- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Lynn Parham, editor of the Mangum Journals and a premier Mangum family researcher as of 14 Mar 2005 takes a different approach to the ancestry of the patriot John Mangum then what most LDS family historians use based upon work done years ago by Delta Hale: "The present best thinking of the lineage is John Mangum the immigrant, John Mangum who married Olive Savidge, John Mangum (1734), John Mangum the Patriot (1763) who married Murdock/Goggins/Canida. I'm speaking from memory here, so ignore minor mistakes in birthyears. Originally, it was thought that John (1734) was a son of William Mangum Sr., but it is difficult to imagine that he at age 14 would not follow his father to North Carolina. The only other option for his father seems to be John Mangum who married Olive Savidge. I was not the one to do that research but I agree 100% with it. I will give you the details if you wish, which is a letter from Joann Hoagland to John Palmer and is published in his Mangum book. This lineage, of course, is not proven, just the best fit of the available records. I do not have family group sheets of the old Mangums on the web [http://home.comcast.net/~lynn.parham/]. My book ["Pleasant Mangum and All His Kin"], which I described last time, is the best current thinking on those lineages. As to the book lineages, I do not take as gospel those lineage connections that 99.999 percent of all Mangum researchers use in their lineages. They do not even mention that there is severe lack of proof in some of those connections, even if it does sound reasonable. I don't even disagree with most of it but it gnaws my gizzard when the lack of proof is not even mentioned. Then another generation of Mangum researchers take this unproven stuff and again recite it as gospel because all these older and wiser researchers said so."
2. The book "The Mangums of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Utah and Adjoining States," by John T. Palmer, Santa Rosa, 1992, FHL film 1697868, p. 6: "John Mangum, b. ca 1734, Albemarle, VA, d. 1794 in Newberry Co., SC, m. Mary ___, b. ca. 1734, [d.] bef. 1794 in Newberry Co. John (footnote 16) came to Craven Co., SC from Lunenberg, later called Mecklenburg Co., VA, just before or during the Rev. War and settled in the Bush River community. (Footnote 17) (By 1790 John, Joseph, and William Mangum were all identified in SC as heads of household, all residing in Chesterfield, Charleston, and Newberry Counties.)
Footnote 16: John Mangum had sold 92 acres of land in Sussex Co. in 1760 to Levi Gilliam for five pounds. The land was on the south side of Hornet Swamp. Mary Mangum joined with her husband John Mangum in the sale of the land. The deed, dated 18 Dec 1760, was not recorded in Sussex Co. until 19 Aug 1762. [Kerry's note: Land can be located at longitude -77.31707 and latitude 36.77116 which is just barely on the Sussex County side of the line separating Sussex Co. and Southhampton Co. barely southeast of Gray, Sussex, Virginia on the small stream between county roads 38 and 697. Hornet Swamp (Creek) continues into Southhampton Co. becoming part of Nottoway River; many of the old 1700 deeds mention Hornet Swamp in conjunction with Nottoway River. The portion of Hornet Swamp in Sussex county is the headwaters and approximately 2 miles in length. Currently there is no development except for a farm or two on the north side of the creek.]

3. The book "The Mangums of Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, and Utah and Adjoining States," by John T. Palmer, Santa Rosa, 1992, FHL film 1697868, pp. 4-5, issue of John Mangum and Frances Mangum, second Child: "William, the ancestor of the author was b. ca. 1706, Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA, d. Orange or Granville Co., VA, aft 1787, m. ca. 1731 Mary Person, b. 1709, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight Co., VA, dau. of John Person III, b, ca 1668, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight, VA, and Mary or Sarah Partridge, b. abt. 1670, Albemarle Parish, Isle of Wight, VA, dau. of Thomas Partridge. It has been well established that the family of William Mangum, Sr. migrated to NC from Virginia by June 1748 where sons Solomon and Joseph were born. William received a land grant of 150 acres from Lord Carteret, Earl of Granville, in 1751. He settled near where the Roanoke River crossed the Virginia line in what is now Warren Co., then Granville Co., NC. William had joined the great migration of tobacco planters who came from Virginia south to find more fertile land for cultivating the 'golden weed.' (By the time of the 1790 Census of North Carolina, Absolom, Howel, James, Joseph, and William Mangum were identified as heads of household in NC, all residing in Granville and Orange Counties. Another Absolam Mangum was found in Union Co., SC, 96th District in 1790.)
Footnote 15 of this chapter provides a strong argument that John Mangum, the Revolutionary War soldier, is probably NOT the son of 1706 - William Mangum and Mary Person.) Foot note 15: Mrs. Joann Mangum Hoagland of 301 24th St., Silver City, NM, tel 505-38-4789, a descendant of John Mangum b. ca. 1732, wrote the author "I cannot tell you how strongly I feel about this relationship - that is 1732 John is not the son of 1706 William... I have studied carefully the documentation, which is pretty scarce, for placing 1732 John as the son of 1706 William. It just does not hold water... That Albemarle Parish register put me on to this. When the Parish entries are placed in chornological order, we see that 1706 Wm. entries end about 1747-8 when he moved to North Carolina. 1732 John entries begin and go until 1761, just before he moved to Lunenberg, VA. In 1747-8 when 1706-Wm. moved, 1732 John is a teenager. He would surely have gone with his father to North Carolina. That, in itself, tells me that 1732-John is not the son of 1706-William. Instead, 1732 John stays in Surry-Isle of Wight. Nor does 1732 John seem to align himself with different people, at least on the Albemarle Parish register, than had his supposed father William." Mrs. Hoagland requests that those interested in this relationship write her at the address noted above. She has obviously made a strong agrument that this undocumented relationship is tenuous. By the process of elimination she systematically eliminated Joseph, whose sons are Micajah, Elisha, and Josiah; Nicholas; James, whose sons were all born too late to be 1732 John; and Henry whose sons were also later than her 1732 John. "That leaves us," she wrote, "with 1703-1744 John and wife Olive Savage as 1732 John's parents... I have not proof - process of elimination."
4. One contribution to the LDS Pedigree Resource File reports birth of 5 May 1736 at Albemarle Parish, Surry, Virginia. Needs verification or documentation since there are no extant records of this parish prior to 1738. Rev. William Willie began keeping the Albemarle Parish Register in the year 1738.
5. Delta Hale's 1953 family group sheet cited below has child #6 as Mary Mangum b. 1769 with temple work for Baptism 24 Jan 1953, Endowment 11 Feb 1953, and Sealing to Parents 7 Jun 1954 IF. By the time she writes her book in 1971, she does not list Mary but does add Lewis as the youngest.
6. The book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, p. 7-16, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale with notes in [ ] by myself, Kerry Petersen: "John Mangum [sibling of this individual] was born Jan. 19, 1763 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. His parents apparently moved to Lunenburg County soon after he was born, as his father, John Mangum, is listed as a member of the St. James Parish, Lunenburg County in the year 1764, the year after John was born. He was the fourth child in a family of six. He had one brother, William, and two sisters, Lucy and Sarah who were older and two brothers William and Lewis who were younger. (The reader may question the fact that the first and fifth children were both named William. It was a practice, especially in England, that when a child died, the next child of that sex would receive the dead child's name.)... [Some authors purport that there was only one William child in this family - John Palmer as cited below notes that the headstone of William Mangum in the Mangum Family Cemetery on the Mangum Plantation in Newberry Co., SC reads 'In memory of William Mangum, Sr. who departed this life the 5th of July 1827 in the 72nd year of his age...' thus establishing a birth date of 1756.] John's father, whose name is also John, was born about 1736 in Albemarle Parish, Surry County, Virginia. His mother's name was Mary. Her maiden name is unknown. His grandfather, William Mangum, was also born in Albemarle Parish, Surry County, Virginia. His grandmother was Mary Person Mangum. [William and Mary Person Mangum as grandparents is since disputed per notes above from Joann Hoagland.] His great-grandfather was John Mangum, and his great-grandmother was Frances Bennett Mangum, daughter of Governor Richard Bennett of Virginia. [Incorrect: Thomas Bennett - not the Gov.] This is as far back as the direct Mangum line in America has been determined at present." [Kerry's note: The ancestor in terms of Governor Richard Bennett is erroneous in my opinion. See notes for Thomas Bennett, Richard Bennett, Sr., and Richard Bennett, Jr. separately in this database for a detailed Bennett history. Even though both groups of Bennetts lived in Isle of Wight County in colonial Virginia, there does not appear to be a connection and both Richards are separate and distinct.]
7. There is some possibility that John Sr. was living with his son William in the following census:
1790 US: The following Mangum, Richey, Goggins, and Murdock names occur in Newberry Counties, South Carolina - none with that surname appear in neighboring Laurens county where the Adairs were located:
P. 57, William Murdock: males over 16: 1; males under 16: 1; females: 1; slaves: 0.
P. 74, Ambrose Hudgins, 1-1-5-0 (Possible father to Austen Hudgens who married Elizabeth Mangum? On the previous p. 72 [73 is blank], there is a Sam'l Hugghen who could also be a possibility but probably not. In neighboring Laurens Co., there are also two other "Ambros" Hudgins: pp. 433 and 443 with most Adairs in that county occurring on pp. 440-442. There are various Huggins, Hudgens, Hudggens, Huggans in South Carolina - but with none in Newberry or Laurens except as noted above.)
P. 74, James Goggin, 2-4-5-2. Separated from Ambrose above by 10 names.
P. 74, Geo. Goggens, 2-3-2-0. (Separated from James above by 26 names.)
P. 74, William Goggins, 1-3-3-0. (Separated from Geo. above by 6 names.)
P. 76 (note page 75 is blank), John Mangum, 1-0-1-0. (Separated from William Goggins above by 58 names.)
P. 76 (note page 75 is blank), Wm. Goggins, 2-2-1-0. (Separated from John Mangum above by 0 names.)
P. 76 (note page 75 is blank), Wm. Mangum, 2-2-2-0. (Separated from Wm. Goggins by 2 names.)
P. 76 (note page 75 is blank), Robert Richey, 1-1-6-1. (Separated from Wm. Mangum by 39 names.)
8. "The Mangum-Mangham-Mangrum Journal," Issue No. 51, January 2003, (formerly "Mangum Family Bulletin"), James L. Parham, editor, pp. 13-15, article includes scanned images of the actual documents: This Part 9 [of a series in the Journal] of the old Virginia records continues to delve more deeply into the records of the second John Mangum (II) of Virginia... [This record shows that John who died in 1744 had children of which the individual of this database would have been one.]:
ORPHANS of John Mangum, (Surry County, Virginia Orders, 1744-1749, page 323, 16 June 1747 Court): 'Ordered That the Church Warden of Albemarle Parish bond out the Orphans of John Mangum according to Law.' (EDITOR'S Comments: The... record concerns the Orphans of John Mangum. This shows that John Mangum (II) had children and they or at least some of them were minors in 1747. Oh, how do we wish they had been named! ED.)"
9. Some clarification of dates of county formations is important. Many people confuse the correct location in dealing with the original colonial ancestors of this part of Virginia.
James City County was one of eight original shires designated in 1634. At that time it extended toward the southwest between Charles City and Isle of Wight (then Warrosquyoake), being terminated later by the boundary with North Carolina. South of the James River it was separated from Isle of Wight county by Lawne's Creek and from Charles City County (later Prince George County) by Upper Chippokes Creek. James City was made the capitol of the colony in 1639 by an Act of the Assembly. James City was the original Jamestown founded in 1607, America's earliest English settlement.
The part of James City County that became Surry County was inhabited by the Quiyoughcohanocks, allies of the Algonquian Powhatan Confederacy, when Jamestown settlers visited in 1607. Early settlers reported that they were entertained very graciously during their first visit. John Rolfe's marriage to Pocohontas in 1614 helped to keep peace between Indians and English settlers for a time. Pocohontas died in England in 1616, however, and by 1622 the Powhatans had decided to rid their lands of the English settlers. On Good Friday, 11 April 1622, Indians living in English settlements all over the small colony rose up and attacked their English hosts, murdering and mutilating them in their homes. At Pace's Pains on the south shore of the James, one Indian, a Christian named Chanco, refused to murder Richard Pace, warning him of the impending massacre instead. Three hundred and forty-seven English people were killed then. A list made the following February showed 1,277 people left alive in the colony.
Richard Pace was only one of the settlers on the south shore of James River. In May 1625 The Virginia Company of London listed sixteen settlers in the area that became Surry County. The Virginia Company's development of Virginia did not meet the expectations of the company stockholders or the English government. Sir Francis Wyatt, the last governor under the Virginia Company, became the first crown appointed governor 24 May 1624.
The crown honored patents issued by the Company and granted more lands to encourage settlement. Individuals could acquire one headright by paying the transportation cost of one person into the colony. One headright could be exchanged for fifty acres of Virginia land. Soon headrights were being sold, the system became corrupted, and in 1705 the General Assembly attempted to reform it. The 1705 act explicitly stated that individuals could not claim an individual headright more than once or claim headrights for sailors, and land claimants were required to submit sworn statements verifying their headright lists in county courts.
By 1640 James City County's population south of James River was sufficient to support a new parish, and Lawne's Creek Parish was established. Lawne's Creek itself was the dividing line between James City County and the later Surry County from the original Isle of Wight County. John Mangum, the original immigrant, had land strattling Lawne's Creek in both Surry and Isle of Wight Counties. Southwark Parish was separated from James City Parish in 1647. County court records begin with 1652, when Surry was formed from the part of James City County that lay southwest of James River. The south end of Surry County eventually is known as Albemarle Parish within in Surry County. From 1738 the only Anglican parish in the Sussex County area was Albemarle. Soon afterward Arthur Allen built his Jacobean brick house, now known as Bacon's Castle because it was occupied as a fort or "castle" during Bacon's Rebellion in 1676.
Reports to the Bishop of London by the ministers of Lawne's Creek and Southwark parishes in the year 1724 were recorded by Bishop Meade. They were not prosperous parishes. In 1738 Albemarle Parish was created from those parts of Lawne's Creek and Southwark parishes that lay southwest of Blackwater River. The remaining parts of Lawne's Creek and Southwark were united into Southwark Parish. The entire area of Albemarle Parish was incorporated into Sussex County when it was formed from the southwestern end of Surry County in 1754.
Sussex County was formed in 1753 from the part of Surry County that was south of the Blackwater River. "Whereas many inconveniencies" attended the inhabitants of the county of Surry, "by reason of the large extent thereof," the General Assembly enacted a law forming Sussex County from the southwestern part of Surry in November 1753. The boundaries of Sussex County followed those of Albemarle Parish established in 1738. Part of Surry County had been added to Brunswick County in 1732. Thus the parish and county were bounded by Surry County on the northeast, by Southampton County on the southeast, Prince George County on the northwest and Brunswick County on the southwest. Brunswick County was divided by an Act of the Assembly in October 1780, forming Greensville County, which now borders Sussex on the southwest.
Sussex, Virginia, is the county seat of Sussex County. The Dillard House, built in 1802, was the repository of the clerk's records until the courthouse was built. The county is named for Sussex County in England.
In some early records of Surry County before Sussex was formed, we see mention of Upper and Lower Parishes of Surry County. I assume the Lower Parish is what was eventually called Albemarle Parish of Surry, then Sussex County. We know that the Mangums had land transactions in Pigeon Creek in the 1740s and Hornet Swamp in the 1760s. Both of these areas were south of the Blackwater River in what was Albemarle Parish of Surry or Sussex County depending on the County formation dates as explained above. Some of the Mangums eventually end up in Lunenburg County, Virginia, which in turns splits the southern part of its Cumberland Parish off in 1761 to form St. James Parish, which in turn and in entirety becomes Mecklenburg County in 1764-65. Brunswick County separates Sussex County from Mecklenburg County to the west. These counties are just above the state line from North Carolina. Some people erroneously put down Albemarle County which is a county in Northern Virginia in no way associated with our family of these Southern Virginia locations.

14. Location of John Mangum's land, presumably that of John Mangum III and father of John Mangum the Patriot, in Newberry county is at longitude -81.78675 lat. 34.30267 at the last upper wye in headwaters of Sandy Run Creek just southwest of the town of Bush River, Newberry, South Carolina. Sandy Run drains into the Little River. The town Bush River can be found due east of Newberry and due south of Kinards per copies of aerial photos and topo maps on file with me.

4. From the book "Our Folks," by Maron Summer Eve, Columbia, SC, 1987, copy in FHL library in Salt Lake City, pp. 224-225:
"John Mangum, Sr., died in 1794 in Newberry County. (Ref: Newberry County Court Minute Book WPA Trans. #662 p. 598, October Term 1794.)
On motion of William Mangum ordered that Letters of Administration of the Rights and Credits of John Mangum deceased be granted him with warrant of Appraisement directed to James Waldrop, Charles Griffin, John Floyd and Daniel McKie to appraise the said estate and that he be qualified as the law directs and be found in the sum of fifty for his faithful administration that Robert Gilliam, Esq're be directed to qualify the said appraisers to appraise said estate.
Whereas a citation having been issued to Daniel Williams to cite and admonish all and singular the kindred and creditors of John Mangum deceased to appear at this term to show cause why letters of Administration not be granted him and William Mangum son and heir of Law came into court and plead the facts of an Administation the court thought proper to grant the same to Mangum.
Newberry County Court Minute Book Feb. Term 1795... WPA BK, #662 pp. 621-622.
Upon motion ordered that William Mangum Administrator of Estate of John Mangum deceased expose to public sale on the premises of twelve months credit all the personal estate of said deceased (provided his brothers do not appear in this Court within said time and contradict the sale of the said property) which sale to commence on the third Thursday in June next all sums under ten shillings to paid in cash."
[Kerry's note: from the wording of this, it appears William had not just one brother but "brothers" - this would of course have been John, but would it also mean Lewis?]

He included much of the excellent work of Vaughn Ballard on his "Manghams" as well.

Solomon Mangham was born in North Carolina before 1758. He married Sarah Ann-11- around 1780 to 1783, about the time he moved to South Carolina. The family moved on to Georgia about 1790 and Solomon died in Putnam County, Georgia in 1810. Solomon's son, Willis Mangham and his children and his mother and her minor children, moved with his father, and helped fonn Pike County, Georgia. Many of Solomon's descendants still reside there. Other sons of Solomon and their descendants were prominent in the development of Butts, Spalding and other Georgia counties. The book traces a part of the family that later moved to Texas, settling in Nacogdoches and Panola Counties. The book starts with an historical background, showing the forces that lead to the Manghams and their contemporaries coming to America and the lives that they found here. A good portion of the book rexcounts family traditions, old letters, wills, deeds, and descendant charts. You will find it an interesting and fairly complete history, fullof photographs, stories and information.
