- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. From the book "Pleasant Mangum and All His Kin, the Story of the Bennetts, the Mangums, and the Parhams," comp. by James Lynn Parham, Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, MD, 1997, Chapter 6, William Mangum Sr., Virginia to North Carolina:
"We believe that William Mangum Sr. was a son of John the immigrant. We first know of him in 1734 when he and his wife Mary record their son James' birth in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County, Virginia.(1) This couple also recorded the births of sons William Jr. in 1736, Arthur in 1741 and daughter Sarah in 1744.(2) We have no definite proof but we think that there may have been at least one other older son named Samuel whose birth was not recorded in the Parish.
The early records concerning William Sr. and his family are very uncertain. William was born about 1709 although we have no direct evidence of his birth or his parentage. His wife Mary, according to one genealogy, may have been a daughter of Job Person and wife Lucy although we have not been able to document that theory. Another source says she was daughter of John Person who's will was probated in Surry Co., Virginia in 1738, but that theory presently seems doubtful.(3) The available records do suggest that the Person family was close kin to the Mangums.
William Mangum Sr. and his family remained in Virginia until at least June 1747 when William helped appraise the estate of Arthur Sherrod.(4) By May 1748 the family was in North Carolina.
By the mid 1700's the available land in Virginia was beginning to run out. Economic opportunities lay elsewhere, on the frontier in middle North Carolina. William Mangum Sr. and family apparently made the trek to the Southwest in 1748. In May of that year William Mangum witnessed a deed in that part of Edgecombe Co., N.C. that is now in Halifax County.(5) They did not stay long there but continued on west into that part of Granville County that is now Warren County. William witnessed a deed there in June of 1748 and began the acquisition of land in 1749 when 350 acres were surveyed for him.(6) The land was granted to him in 1751 by John Earl Granville. The grant calls him a planter of St John's Parish.
The tax lists for William begin in 1749 when he listed two polls. One poll is William himself and we suspect the other is his son Samuel Mangum. William's last land grant was in 1760 and thereafter he began to sell his land. In 1764 Bute County was created from parts of three counties including the eastern part of Granville County. William's remaining land was incorporated in this new county. Between 1765 and 1780 a William Mangum, whom we believe is our William Mangum Sr., had several land dealings in Bute County.
It is unknown if William Sr. had any more children after he came to North Carolina. He was in his 40's but his wife may have been somewhat younger. She was not necessarily past Childbearing age. The Joseph who was in Granville County and the Solomon who was in Orange County were possibly sons of William Sr.
We do not know when William Sr. died. We do know he disappears from the Granville Co., tax lists in the 1760's. It is possible he moved to Orange County, N.C. but it is not certain that those records pertain to our William Mangum Sr.(7)
We have already mentioned the migration by Absolom Mangum into North Carolina about 35 years after William arrived. We believe Absolom's migration was influenced by William's earlier migration. Absolom was a son of James Mangum, the brother of William Mangum Sr. Absolom and his family settled in the southern part of Granville County, near the border with Wake County. Many of the Wake County Mangums stem from Absolom and his children.(8)
Absolom left records in Johnson County, N.C. in 1769,(9)Wake County in 1780(10) and maybe in Union County, S.C. in 1782 and 1790.(11) He bought land in Granville County in 1788 and was in the 1787 tax. lists.(12) A court record in Granville seems to show that he bought land there in 1786.(13) It is not known whether all these records pertain to the Absolom who settled in Southern Granville County. If so, he was a restless sort, as were many of our early pioneers.
Absolom died on or before 1802 since Lucy Mangum was administrator of his estate on 7 May 1802.(14)
Children of William Mangum Sr.:
James Mangum:
James was born 2 June 1734 and his birth was recorded in the Albemarle Parish of Surry County, Virginia. His birth was recorded in the parish after the fact since the parish was not set up until 1738. After the migration into North Carolina, James was in the militia of Granville Co., N.C. in 1754 with his father and brothers.(15) He is also listed in several tax lists of Granville. Little else is known about him. He died on 15 Sept. 1757 at the age of 23, leaving his wife Sarah and one son unnamed.(16) One tradition says that the son was Jacob Mangum who settled in South Carolina. No proof of that relationship has been found and another tradition disputes this, saying that Jacob was from Ireland.
William Mangum Jr.
William Mangum Jr. was born 16 May 1736. His birth is recorded in the Albemarle Parish Register of Virginia. His birth, like his brother James' birth was added "after the fact." William Jr. was in the Granville Co. Militia in 1754 and in several tax lists of the period. We know little else about his life in North Carolina. He was a British Tory (sympathizer) during the Revolutionary War. He was in Georgia by 1772. He seems to disappear from the Granville County, N.C. tax lists by 1768. He was recruited into the British Army in 1779 from a group of Georgia back country Tories. He served with the 96th Brigade, Little River Militia.(I7).
William was married in Georgia to Elizabeth "Letgo," "Ladco," or "Lithgow" and had at least two daughters and one son named Samuel. Samuel was killed in 1780 while fighting as a British soldier. When the British evacuated Charleston in 1782, William and family went to the loyalist refuge in St. Augustine, Fla. His property in Georgia was confiscated by the State of Georgia because of his British service.
William's 1st wife died about 1784. He left for Nova Scotia and sometime before 1791 he married again but his wife's name is unknown. He lived out his days on bleak Morris Island. His petition for title to the land he occupied on the island (as a reward for his loyalist service) was never acted on.
One of William's relatives, John Mangum (III?), born in Virginia in 1763, fought for the American side in the war. More information on John was given in the previous chapter. It is possible that they fought opposite each other during the siege of Old Ninety-six, the key British fortress in South Carolina. John was captured by the British, but the British commander saved John's life because he knew and liked his loyalist kin.
ARTHUR Mangum:
Arthur Mangum was born 2 May 1741 in the Albemarle Parish, Surry County, Virginia. He was only 7 years old when the family migrated into North Carolina. There is extensive literature available concerning Arthur. This is because of his famous grandson Willie P. Mangum who was Judge, Congressman, Senator and acting vice-president of the United States from 1842 to 1845. Tyler succeeded to the presidency in 1841 on the death of Harrison. That made the president pro-tempore of the Senate (Samuel L. Southard of N. J.) second in line for the presidency and therefore acting Vice President of the United States. Southard resigned 3 May 1842 and on 31 May Willie Person Mangum was chosen as his successor and continued in that office until March 4, 1845. Tyler himself narrowly escaped death from an accident on the USS Princeton in 1844. Senator Mangum came within a 'hair breath' of becoming the president of the United States. The line of succession to the Presidency has been changed in recent years.
The legends that have Arthur, wife and son coming into N.C. in a wagon are obviously wrong since Arthur was a child at the time of the Virginia to North Carolina migration. It is possible that the legend was referring to the time when Arthur came to Orange County, N.C. from the eastern part of Granville Co., N.C. Arthur moved to Orange County and received land there in 1763. He became quite prosperous and many of his descendants were people of note.
There is considerable confusion as to the death of Arthur. A sketch by Dr. Stephen B. Weeks puts his death 12-24 March 1789.(18) However, Arthur's will is dated 24 Nov. 1789.(19) Also, Arthur bought land on 11 May 1790.(20) His death must have been later than this. A story by Mr. Mangum Turner, a descendent of Arthur, places his death in 1809.(21) This is probably not correct. The 1800 census of Orange County lists Lucy Mangum as head of household of Arthur's family. This must mean that she was a widow at the time. These limits place his death between 11 May 1790 and 1800. A later deed involving Arthur's son William Person Mangum infers that Arthur died about 1793. This appears to be the most likely year of his death. There are many other sources of information about Arthur Mangum's prominent North Carolina descenÂdants.(22)
Sarah Mangum:
Sarah Mangum was born to William and Mary 14 Oct 1743 and her birth was recorded in the Albemarle Parish records. We have found no further record of her.
Samuel Mangum:
It is unfortunate that we have only indirect evidence for the parentage of Samuel Mangum, the person through which we believe we descend. The public records show a give and take between him and William Sr. usually exhibited only by close relatives. We assume, without direct proof, that Samuel was an older son of William and Mary Mangum. He will be dealt with more fully in the next chapter.
OTHER Children:
We do not know if William Sr. and Mary had any more children born in Virginia. Certainly, none were recorded in the Albemarle Parish. William and his family migrated into North Carolina in 1748. William would probably have been in his forties although his wife might have been younger. We believe they had at least two children after they came to North Carolina. One of those was Solomon Mangum, the father of the Georgia Manghams.(23) We also believe that another son was Joseph Mangum. There were two Joseph Mangums in that part of North Carolina during that time period. We believe the Joseph Mangum of Warren/Bute County was a son of Samuel Mangum.
References
1. John Bennett Boddie's book on the Albemarle Parish has some errors. One error was a reference to the birth of James Mangum to parents William and Martha. The original records show that the parents were actually William and Mary. Those records were checked by Joseph F. Inman, genealogist and Mangum descendant, in 1972. The book by Gertrude R. B. Richards and Florence M. Leonard concerning the Albemarle Parish records also confirm that the parents were William and Mary. See Appendix E for additional information about the Albemarle Parish and these two books.
2. Obviously, the births of James and William Mangum were recorded in the parish many years after they were born. The parish was not set up until 1738. Neither have godparents listed but neither does Arthur Mangum born in 1741 and a probably related Lucy Mangum born in 1759. Probably parents who first recorded a birth in the parish also entered births of children born much earlier. See Appendix E for more information on the Albemarle Parish.
3. Will of John Person of Surry County, Va. was recorded in Deeds, Wills, Etc., 1738-54, pages 51-53. The will is dated 8 Aug. 1721 and proved 21 March 1738. There is no mention of Mangums in the will. One of John Person's two daughters was name Mary. One of John's sons, Samuel Person, mad~ his will 17 Feb. 1753, proved 3 Oct. 1754. In that will he mentions his sister Mary Glover. The Mary (Person?) that married William Mangum was almost certainly with her husband in North Carolina in 1753.

"Foreword
This is the fourth in a series of articles on the Mangum family. These articles should be used with extreme care since some of this material is simply personal views of the author. However., these articles can be of great help when used as a basis of further study. If you find any error of fact or interpretation,, please call my attention to it immediately.
William IN Virginia
In the early 1700's, there were several Mangum families living in and around the Counties of Surry., Sussex and Isle of Wight, Virginia. The possible origin of some of these families have been given in previous articles in the bulletin.
The subject of this article is the family of William Mangum of the Albemarle Parish, Surry & Sussex Counties, Va. William was born probably between 1700 and 1715. I have seen "about 1706-10," in several places. However, I have seen no definite evidence that would correctly place his date of birth. He was likely the son of John Mangum the immigrant and Frances of Isle of Wight Co., Va. (1-I) William was married to Mary (1-A). It has been reported that Mary was born 1708 and was the dau. of John Person (Will 8/8/1721) and wife Mary (or Sarah) of Surry Co., Va. I have been unable to substantiate this however.
The known children of Wm. and Mary were James born 2 June 1734, not 2 Feb. 1734 and not to Wm. and Martha. William Jr. b. 16 May 1736, Arthur b. 2 May 1741, not 1743 or 1744, and Sarah b. 14 Oct. 1743. (1-A) There may have been others, but these were the only ones recorded in the Parish. The Parish itself was not set up until 1738 and therefore the births Of James and William were apparently recorded "after the fact." It may be significant that neither have godparents listed, but neither does Arthur born in 1741. It has previously been established that Henry Mangum, born in 1773 was born to a different Wm. and Mary (1-K).
William Mangum and family probably remained in Surry County until 1747 (3) since he witnessed an estate inventory in June of that year. Before May of the next year, 1748, William and family had migrated into North Carolina.
William Mangum IN NORTH CAROLINA
William Mangum was in Granville County., N. C. by June 1748 since he witnessed a deed there on that date. (1-B) He may have come to Granville by way of Edgecombe County, now Halifax Co. In May 1748 (4) William witnessed a deed there. This appears to tie in William and the Mangums who were later in Halifax County. This will be reserved for a later article. By 1749, William began to obtain his own land in Granville County. The 350 acres that was surveyed for him in that year was granted to him (for a fee) in 1751 by John Earl Granville. (1-C). Later in this same year, William sells this land and in Sept. helps lay out a road in Granville. (2-A)
In 1754, William and sons Wm. Jr. and James are in the Militia of Granville County. (5) All are also listed in the 1755 tax list of Granville. (6) In 1752 and 1755 additional land was surveyed for William. (1-C) However., William allowed Samuel Mangum (brother or more likely older child) to have the land surveyed in 1752 (granted in 1756). William obtained additional land in 1760 and thereafter began to sell it. These deeds show that William was a planter and lived in St. John's Parish. This Parish was quite extensive and does not pin down the location of William's land.
The records of William Sr. and William Jr. (who became 21 in 1757) are difficult to sort out. There are apparent differences in several of the William Mangum signatures, but their significance have not been fully investigated. Apparently neither used Jr. or Sr.
In 1764, Bute County was formed out of the eastern part of Granville County. Most or all of William's remaining land was in the newly formed Bute County. There are many Bute County deeds between 1765 and 1780 involving William or in some cases, just the last name Mangum. (1-D) There were, however, other Mangums in Bute County.
By 1777, William Mangum Jr. was with his brother Arthur in Orange County. (1-E) William may have moved to Orange County earlier but he probably was still in Bute County as late as 1768. (1-D) William Sr. would have been near 70 if alive at this time. William Jr. is listed in 1779 and 1780 Orange tax list and was named as one of the executors of his brother Arthur's will in 1789 (no probate available). (10, 1-G) In that same year, William of Orange Co. buys and sells land in Granville. (1-B) This is probably William Jr., but could have been Wm. P. Mangum, son of Arthur.
Little additional information is available concerning Wm. Jr. He was married (Mary???) and apparently one daughter married a Piles and moved to Georgia. (1-H) It is interesting to note that a Col. Piles of Orange Co. had a force of 300 Tories fighting for the King in 1781. William probably died between 1789 and 1800 since he was absent in the 1800 census.
A tradition in my family is that Pleasant Mangum, my ancestor, was born in 1777 to William Mangum Jr. and Wife Mary. I have been unable to find any evidence to support this tradition. William Jr. would have been 41 in 1777 and apparently living in Orange County. Pleasant married and lived in nearby Granville County.
It is Unknown whether or not William Sr. had more children after he came to North Carolina. No direct evidence has been found one way or the other. The last child listed as being born to Wm. and Mary in Virginia is Sarah born 1743. It was approx. 5 years later that William migrated to N. C. If William and wife had no children in this five year period, they probably had none in N. C. William and probably wife would have been in their 40's in N. C., not necessarily past child bearing age.
There has been found no mention of any of the female members of the family after the migration to North Carolina. This is not to surprising since females had few chances to leave public records in those days and marriage would have changed last names for them.
James Mangum
James was born 2 June 1734 (1-A) in the Albemarle Parish., Surry County, Va. to William and Mary Mangum. James migrated with his parents into Granville Co., N. C. at the age of about 13 years. Little is known about him. He was in the Granville Co. Militia in 1754 (5) at 20 years of age (with father and brothers) and is called son of William in the 1755 tax list. (6)
His estate record shows that he died l5 Sept. 1757 at the age of 23, leaving a wife Sarah and one son unnamed. (2-B) Purchasers of his estate include Wm, Arthur and Samuel Mangham. No land dealings concerning James have been found.
Samuel Mangum
It is unknown at present what the relationship was between William Mangum Sr. and Samuel. They were probecoly close kin, possibly brothers. [Reprint note: Recent theories place Samuel as an older son of William.] Samuel was a godparent, along with William and Mary Mangum, of a son of James and Mary Mangum of the Albemarle Parish in 1743/44. (1-A) He migrated to N.C. with the rest of the Mangun family and witnessed a deed there as early as 1751. (1-B) He obtained a land grant in 1756 which was originally surveyed for William in 1752. (1-C) Samuel witnessed several deeds in Granville County and was in the 1754 Granville Militia (5). He was living with Jno. Tompson in 1755 (6) and therefore not in the household of William and family.
Samuel was a carpenter and planter. In 1755 he took in a 9 year old orphan to teach him the trade (carpenter). (2-C) In 1757 he was a purchaser of the estate of James Mangum. 2-B
Samuel apparently died between this date and 1758. On 20 Dec. 1758 the inventory-of his estate was returned to Court. (2-D) An account of his estate was returned to court nearly 20 years later. (1-F) and a corrected account in May 1779. These accounts show that Samuel left a widow and 6 children.
These latter estate accounts are puzzling in several respects. One major puzzle is why.there were purchasers of Samuel's estate listed in 1755 when he was not dead before late 1757 or 1758.
The names of Samuel's children are not given, but we find a Howell Mangum selling some of Samuel's land in 1773 & 1774 in Bute County, N.C. (1-D)
ARTHUR Mangum
Arthur Mangun, was son of William Mangun Sr. and wife Mary. He was born 2 May 1741 in the Albemarle Parish, Surry Co. Va. (1-A)
Arthur will not be dealt extensively with here. He has been the subject of several sketches as a result of his politically active grandson, Willie P. Mangum of N.C. Instead, any new or corrected information will be included in this sketch.
Arthur apparently migrated into N.C. with his parents in the late 1740s. He must have been less than 10 years old. The family tradition which has Arthur, wife and son comiing into N.C. by wagon are apparently in error. [Reprint note: The tradition may refer to the time Arthur and family came into Orange County, N.C. from Granville County, N.C.]
There is considerable confusion as to the date of Arthur's death. The sketch by Weeks has his death on 12-24 March 1769. (7) However, Arthur's will is dated 24 Nov. 1769 (no probate found) and he could not have died before that date. Also, Arthur bought land 11 May, 1790 and this sets a further limit on the date of his death. (1-E) Arthur Mangum Jr. was born 1773 and would have been only 17 years old in 1790. Mr. Mangum Turner, descendent of Arthur, remembers hearing a family tradition when he was young that places Arthur's death in 1809. This probably is not correct. The 1800 census of Orange County does not list Arthur, but does have Lucy Mangum (Mangreem), as head of household. (1-J) She was probably Arthur's widow (he married Lucy Person). Arthur's death must have been between 11 May 1790 and 1800.
The papers of Willie P. Mangum by Shanks (11) mentions a deed dated 1823 which may throw some light on the situation. The deed in question states that Arthur Mangum sold land to his son William P. Mangum, but died before executing a deed. It further states that William P. Mangum, had lived on the land for nearly 20? years. If William P. Mangum began living on the land when he purchased it, this seems to set the date of death of Arthur as about 1793.
The records show that Arthur had considerable contact with his brothers and other relatives in surrounding counties and had dealings-with the U.S. Government during the Revolutionary War. (8,9)

[It is unknown what the significance is of the note at the left side of the cover of the document. It appears to be a statement to pay or paid Phil Hawkins ten shillings five pence cash. It is dated 13 Jan. 1759. It is probably somehow related to the estate inventory. The rest seems to be additions and calculations of English money probably related to the estate. Note the statement that Samuel Mangum died 1758.]

DISCUSSION:
It has been widely accepted that James Mangum, son of William Mangum Sr., died in 1757 leaving a wife Sarah and one son unnamed. In spite of considerable research, personally and by a paid researcher, no additional information has been found relating to the name of the son. However, with the assistance of the paid researcher, we have found several court records relating to James Mangum's estate. One of those records is printed above. Others will be printed in later issues of the Journal.
There has been considerable confusion concerning the death of Samuel Mangum, another son of William Mangum Sr. In the late 1960's I found a microfilm in the N.C. State Archives that listed the death of Samuel Mangum in 1758. It also showed that there was an inventory of an estate of Samuel Mangum in 1777, but it had debt listing that went back to 1755. We have always assumed that these two records refer to the same Samuel Mangum who died in 1758. Unfortunately, we could never be sure because we had never found any of the actual court records [only obscure secondary sources] concerning the death & estate of this Samuel Mangum. The information I found in the 1960's came from a microfilm of research notes by Thomas McAdory who researched the old Granville County, N.C. records in the late 1800's. He was preparing to publish a book on the Granville Co., N.C. records, but died before it was published. His notes were microfilmed and placed in the N.C. Archives. In recent years his notes were published in book form posthumously. His notes specifically show that Samuel Mangum died in 1758 but there were no clear references to the actual Granville County records where he obtained the information.
Researchers in recent years have begun to question whether the 1758 & 1777 records actually refer to a single person, and even whether the 1758 record of Samuel's death actually existed. In 2004 I hired a professional genealogist to research the 18th century Granville County records for any references to James and Samuel Mangum. She found several records, making it very clear that Samuel Mangum did die in 1758 and making it almost certain that the 1777 record was a final settlement of that estate, possibly after the last heir reached adulthood. More court records relating to Samuel Mangum will be presented in later Journals.
In this first record of James Mangum's estate (administrator bond) Sarah Mangum was administrator (widows were usually given that honor). The date, 7 December 1757, is shortly after James' death. One of the bond's sureties was William Mangum, probably James' brother William Jr. This William signed with a "W" mark while other records show that William Sr., who was probably literate, signing without a mark.
Joseph Person was the other sureties but the N.C. Person family's relationship with the Mangums has not been fully investigated. Without proof, we believe Joseph Person was related to William Mangum Sr.'s wife Mary, whose maiden name is believed to be (although not proven to be) Person. Certainly the Mangums and Persons were closely associated with each other in Virginia, as evidenced by the public records."

In a footnote, the author notes: "Some doubt and confusion surrounds the identity of James Mangum's mother. John M. Mangum of Henrieville, PA, notes in the "Mangum Family Bulletin," Issue 35, p. 17, "John Bennett Boddie transcribes the Albemarle Parish Register as saying that James was the son of Martha (William's first wife) and that James was born on 2 Feb 1734, but Gertrude Richards transcribes the Albemarle Parish Register as saying that James' mother was Mary Person (William's second wife) and James was born on 2 June 1734."
