      Footnotes:
      "180: 'Mangum Family Bulletin,' Issue 13, reprinted in 1980, identifies the children of Agnes Manghan and John Langston as Joseph, Sarah b 1762, Frances b 1759, James, Solomon, Mary, Samuel, Jechonias, Elizabeth, Patta (Martha?), Louisa, Rebecca, and Jesse Langston.
      Agnes Mangham (Maughm?) was probably related to Samuel and William Mangum of Granville Co., NC. John Langston's name appears on a deed in Granville Co., dated 19 June 1752 with the names of Samuel and William Mangum. John Langston and William Mangum witnessed a land deed in Granville C. on 1 June 1748."
