      3. Biographical info per the book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, p. 516, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale [see book for photos of him and his wife Mary Ann Smith]: "James Mitchell Mangum, the third child of John Mangum and Rebecca Canida Knowles, was born Jan. 6, 1820 at Springville, St. Clair Co., Alabama. He married first Eliza Jane Clark in Aug. of 1844 [no source given and I dispute date per marriage source below]. She is the daughter of Samuel Clark and Phirley or Ferrely Adair, born Aug. 11, 1827 at Green Co., Alabama. She died in 1862 [disputed, should be 1859 per source cited under her death notes]. James married second Rebecca Francis Mangum, his niece, in Aug. of 1849 [definite typo considering she would've been only 6 years old and her first child isn't born until 15 Jan 1859]. She is the daughter of John Mangum and Mary Ann Adair, born Oct. 10, 1843 at Stawambee [typo for Itawamba Co.], Alabama. She died Apr. 13, 1938 at Duncan, Greenlea [Greenlee] Co., Arizona. James married third Mary Ann Smith in 1866 at Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the daughter of Thomas Washington Smith and Sarah Ann Boren, b. Sept. 27, 1844 at Pigeon Creek, Iowa [Several Ordinance Index and Pedigree Resource Files agree on 22 Sep 1844; they are split on whether Pigeon Creek is in Illinois or Iowa - I assume Illinois judging from a pre-1846 "exodus" birth date.] She died June 12, 1912 at Tropic, Garfield, Co., Utah. James died Feb. 4, 1888 at Nutrioso, Apache Co., Arizona. James and Eliza had six children:
      a. Joseph Daniel, b. 1844, [Itawamba Co.?], Mississippi; d. 1846.
      b. James Harvey, b. 29 Nov 148, SLC, UT.
      c. John William, b. 14 Nov 1850, Provo, Utah, UT.
      d. Heber C., b. 7 Oct 1852, Payson, Utah, UT.
      e. Martha Jane, b. 5 May 1855, Payson, UT.
      f. Lydia An, b. 31 Aug 1857, Washington, Utah.
      James and Rebecca Francis had four children: (for a complete record see Rebecca Francis Mangum, daughter of John Mangum and Mary Ann Adair.):
      a. Winnie Frances Coley, b. 15 Jan 1859, Washington, Washington, Utah.
      b. James Alma, b. 17 Jun 1864, Diamond Valley, Wash., Ut; d. 6 Jan 1870, Washington, UT.
      c. Nephi, b. 20 Nov 1868, Washington, UT; d. 20 Nov 1868, Washington, UT.
      d. Amanda, b. 20 Jun 1877, Washington, Utah; d. 4 Feb 1878, Washington, UT."

      BIRTH:
      1. Ordinance index for endowment shows two varying dates both in Hancock Co., Ill.: 27 Jun 1844 and 22 Sep 1844. 1900 census confirms Sep 1844 but states Iowa. Robin Adair uses date of 20 Sep 1844.

      MARRIAGE:
      1. Ordinance Index has an extracted sealing record for EHOUS showing marriage of James Mitchell Mangum to Mary Ann Dowell on 9 Oct 1866 in SLC, UT with sealing same date. The sealing work is same date and place as Rebecca Francis Mangum. Mary Ann Dowell is Mary Ann Smith. Ancestral file shows a marriage to a Thomas Augustine Dowell (AFN: BCPT-ST) with no date nor place. Ordinance Index shows an extracted LDS sealing record on FHL film M183395 for Thomas Augustine Dowell and Mary Ann Smith 19 Sep 1861 EHOUS. Mangum Book says 1866 but Ancestral File says 1861 - Mangum Book is wrong in light of 1861 temple record.
      Some family records show marriage of James Mangum and Mary Ann Smith on 19 or 20 Sep 1866, but I have not found documentation for this. They may have civilly married before a sealing in the Endowment House of Salt Lake City.

      DEATH:
