- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Note in the following book, Delta Hale makes the case for two Williams in the family of John Mangum III and Mary ___. She believes that the first William was born in 1756 and died young and that another son born circa 1765 was named after the first and he is the one who went to South Carolina and had a family. Delta does not give her sources for this and she seems to be the only reseacher who came up with this listing. On the other hand, the tombstone age of the William who went to South Carolina shows a birth of 1756 from the age and death date given on his tombstone. Additionally, when the father John Mangum died, it was William who administered the will which would seem unlikely if he was a younger brother of John who lived in the same area. Additionally when family did the 1877 LDS temple work for this generation, only one William was baptized for the dead in St. George in 1877 by the nephew John Mangum (V). I do not believe Delta was correct in this regard and I show only one William who was the older brother to John Mangum the Patriot.
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. [Should be Lunenburg Co. since Mecklenburg was formed in 1764-65, from the part of Lunenburg that was Saint James Parish. Saint James Parish was formed in 1761 when Cumberland Parish was divided. The area of Mecklenburg is 665 square miles. Boydton is the county seat.] 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. [This would not have involved any move since he was already living in what would become Mecklenburg Co.] 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 separate notes in this database with John Mangum II and Olive Savidge being his probably, but unproven, parents.] His great-grandfather was John Mangum, and his great-grandmother was Francis Bennett Mangum, daughter of Governor Richard Bennett of Virginia. 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.]
2. William appears to have been involved with his father's estate. Colleen Gwynn notes an Oct. 1797 term in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Colleen in her research notes states that William Mangum is the son and heir of John Mangum making him a sibling to John Mangum the patriot who is his next door neighbor in the 1790 census in Newberry Co., SC. She also indicates William and his wife Anna are buried in the Mangum Family Graveyard in Silverstreet near Bush River, South Carolina. Bush River is located near the land noted in John Mangum's [the patriot] research notes in this database.
3. Censuses:
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:

5. William was the father of Reverend Daniel Mangum, 24 May 1788-25 Sep 1852. Note: Pastor for 26 years at Bush River Baptist Church, Newberry, South Carolina and other associated Baptist churches. Died at age 64. Buried in Bush River Church Cemetery. References FHL book 975.731 H2b "A Laurens County Sketchbook," by Julian Stevenson Bolick include:
Pg. 54: "The Hurricane Baptist Church is nestled amid the pines bordering Hurricane Road near Hurricane Creek in Hunter Township. It was establised as a mission church in August, 1832, through the efforts of the elders from the Bush River Church in Newberry County; thus, it has served the community for 140 years. Records show that the same leaders - Daniel Mangum, James Harlan and Elbert Lindsay - were active in both the Bush River and Hurricane churches. Mr. Lindsay served as the first pastor of the mission church."
Pg. 55: "Mount Pleasant Baptist. Bethabara Baptist Church minutes of June 10, 1826, show that application had been made by members to withdraw and form a constititued 'arm' church at Cole's Meetinghouse. With permission granted, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church in the Waterloo Township became an established place for worship August 19, 1826. Elders Henry Hitt and Daniel Mangum (the former, one of the organizers) appear to have been the first two pastors to serve. For ninety years the church had no baptistry, and the waters of nearby Walnut Creek served for baptismal services. The 'old pewter set' - pitcher plates and goblets bought for the communion table in 1856 - may be seen today in a glass case in the sanctuary."
6. It has been reported that John (the patriot) Mangum's life as a captive in the American Revolutionary War was spared because of his family relationship with William Mangum, the Loyalist. William was his a distant "uncle" and his story is told in detail with his notes in this database. John also had a brother, William, who was a Patriot and fought on the side of the rebels as the same story notes tell.
7. 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.

"William Mangum, b. 12 Nov 1756 (footnote 18) in Albemarle Parish, Surry Co, VA. He was in Newberry Co. by 1779 when his brother John had military service and by 1784 when he married and administered his father's estate. On 5 Jul 1827 [William died] in Newberry Co, SC; m. Anna Goggans [19] ca 1784 in Bush River, b. 20 May 1765 in Culpepper Co., VA, d. 30 Apr 1848 [20] in SC. Anna, dau. of Daniel Goggans b. 1730 Va, and Nancy Williams b. 1732 VA, grew up in the Bush River Community where she witnessed the atrocities of the American Revolution, witnessing the murder of her father and burning of their home. Both William and Anna are buried in "Mangum Family Burying Ground" located on a ridge to the left of the "Granny Mangum Springs" and original Mangum homesite on the original Mangum Plantation at the junction of the Newberry County Highway 58 (Old Belfast Road) and Highway 22. The original road was called the "King's Road" - Indian Trail. Descendants of William Mangum lived in Newberry County, SC through the early 1900s where they made an outstanding contribution to the religious and civic life of the community. [21] For many years William Mangum and his sons were owner of the Mangum Store in Newberry County, which served as a leading center of economic and social activites. There they dispensed everything from food and feed to wearing apparel such as silk sleves and velvet ribbons, to drugs such as castor oil, paregoric, camomel and asafetida. When William Mangum died intestate it took over ten typewritten pages of legal sized paper to write up inventory and appraisement of his personal estate.

25. Delta I.M. Hales, Blackfoot, Idaho places Carwile Mangum, b. ca 1802 and James E. Mangum, b. ca 1804, in this family. Her source of information was "Personal letter from Blanch C. Davidson, Newberry, SC."
12. Land transaction records info per the book "John Mangum, American Revolutionary War Soldier and Descendants," 1986, pp. 15-16, by Delta Ivie Mangum Hale: "Although only part of the record of John's land holdings and transactions is availble, it is evident that he had possession of a great deal of land during his lifetime. The following is a record of some of these transactions. 'John Mangum, brother of William, and wife, Mary (Murdock) conveyed 37 acres of land in 1803 in Newberry County, South Carolina, founded a part of original Surrey County and other lands. Again in 1805, John Mangum sold 165 acres of land to Thomas Atkinson. John Mangum bought 100 acres of land from Joseph Hays, Blacksmith Aug. 7, 1779 on Little River, now Newberry County, South Carolina, being one half of 200 acres granted to Elizabeth Johnson in 1772 and conveyed by her to Joseph Hayes in 1773. This land is located on the side of the main road from Rayburn's Creek which is the dividing line of the 200 acres.' [Source: Columbia, So. Carolina Court file #4754 of John Mangum before and since the fall of Charleston.] [Note this land is probably the land of John Mangum III, father of William.] It is interesting to note the price of land at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The following is a recorded land transaction of his brother, William. 'William Mangum, brother of John Mangum, bought from William Johnson a tract of 84 acres for $150 on Jan. 6, 1805. The same being part of an original grant of Jacob Johnson and situated on Little River and bounded by Charles Pitts on the Southwest and all other sides by William Peterson and Daniel Mangum.' [Source: Deed Book G in the Office of the Clerk of the Court, Newberry, South Carolina, p. 264.] The following information was received from Enid B. Willardson of National City, California: 'In later years following the death of his brother, William, John assisted his brother's widow in the settling of William's Estate. Anna Mangum, William's widow, relinguished the adminstration of her husband's Estate to John Mangum on July 7, 1827. He settled the Estate on Aug. 17, 1831.' The following land transaction with his brother's widow is also recorded: 'Signed in the presence of David Carson and Howard Peterson, recorded on Jan. 19, 1838. Anna Mangum of Newberry District sold to John Mangum 82 acres for $7.75. Bounded by Carson's Creek on the south side of the road from Belfast to Newberry, So. Carolina. Delivered Oct. 8, 1828.' [Source: Deed Book in the Office of the Clerk of the Court, Newberry, South Carolina.]"
13. 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?]
Book A Newberry County 1785-1798 Sheriff's Office Minutes of County Court, 251 September Term 1789. Pursuant to Law the Court doth proceed to draw petit jury for September term. The following persons drawn to wit: (note): Among names drawn was William Mangum, No. 22.
Also Jury for Dec. Term 1790 Petit: William Mangum (others - 29).
For many years William Mangum and his son John were owners of the Mangum Store, south of Belfast Road (Junction of New berry County Hwy. #58 and Hwy. #22), which served as a leading center of economic and social activites where they dispensed everythin from food and feed to wearing apparel such as silk sleeves and velvet ribbons to drugs; such as paregoric, castor oil, calomel and asafetida.
When William died intestate July 5, 1827, it took over ten typewritten pages of legal - sized paper to write up inventory and appraisemtn of his person estate.
He was a pilantrhropist, a good citizen, neighbor and friend to all. We shall not see his like again.
Descendants of William Mangum lived in Newberry County, SC through the early 1900s where they made an outstanding contribution to the religious and civic life of the community. Rev. Daniel Mangum has already been referred to in an another section of this book. the Mangum name is listed in the 1985 telephone directory, Columbia, S.C."
14. A son of John Mangum, the Patriot, performed LDS temple work for his "cousin" Daniel Mangum in the 1870s in Utah after Daniel's death. This would confirm that this William and John, the Patriot, were indeed brothers. Also by William marrying Anna Goggans, ca 1784, the dau. of a Patriot murdered by Tories, it would seem to confirm that this William is not the distinguished Rev. War Loyalist for whom John's life was spared at the 1781 Hayes' Station Massacre. Most loyalists departed the country and in the case William' and John's uncle William, ended up in Nova Scotia.
15. Online South Carolina Department of Archives and History Online accessed 25 Apr 2013. Records for John Mangum from after 1805 which do not pertain to John Mangum the Patriot who moved away from South Carolina circa 1805. These records are more likely of descendants of William Mangum, brother to John Mangum the Patriot:
1829: One man named John Mangum married Matilda Tinsley by July 1829. See the following court records transcribed by Mrs. Edith Greisser: Joseph Tinsley vs James Tinsley, Filed July 1829. John Williams died with a Will written November 4, 1794, giving legacies to 5 brothers and sisters and a clause giving his uncle John Wallace instructions to continue suits initiated by him. One of the suits was against an uncle Daniel Williams over the exchange of slaves and land. There were no papers available about the suit, but the exchange never took place and the estate of John Williams retained the land. Slaves of the estate of John Williams were given to his sister Mrs. Tinsley, the wife of James Tinsley, and passed on to her children. At the sale of the real estate of John Williams, James Tinsley purchased some portion of the land. The children of James Tinsley contend the land was purchased as the portion of the estate due their mother and should be given to the issue of her body separate from her husband. The Court was saddened that the children were so alienated from their father. The Commissioners, David Cannon, B.F. Griffin, Daniel Williams, and Samuel Waldrop, had examined the evidence and determined the tract of land sold for partition. 1/3 of the proceeds of the sale to go to James Tinsley and 2/3 to go to Joseph Tinsley, James W. Tinsley, Jesse Pitts (the husband of Polly Tinsley), John Floyd (husband of Franky Tinsley) and John Mangum (husband of Matilda Tinsley). The Complainants were ordered to pay 2/3 of costs and the Defendant to pay 1/3 of cost. The Defendant appealed: James Tinsley argued the land was an absolute purchase and never intended as a separate estate of his wife. The Court affirmed the ruling of the Circuit Court. [LDS Microfilm #24219, Box 47, No. 5. (Compliments of Edith Greisser (Equity Records 1844-1862. Decrees 1818-1849. Miscellaneous Equity Records. Newberry County SC). p. 101.]
1831: John Mangum was one of the four appraisers for the estate of Reuben Golding. [Lee, Will Book L, p. 78.]
1835: The April 6, 1835 estate of John Griffin was found in Will Book M, pps 133-137. [Lee p. 186]. B.F. Griffin was the Executor. The estate mentioned the sale of the personal estate loaned to the widow during her lifetime. [This estate record was probably filed to tie up loose ends after Griffin's widow died … jeb.] The appraisers were W.D. Watts, Allen Andrews, John Mangum. John Griffin died with LWT 1805. See Equity 24-12.] Another record in which John Mangum was an appraiser was for the estate of Mary Griffin dated January 18, 1836. Sale to be at residence of John Plant. Appraisers Allen Andrews, William Boazman, and John Mangum. No heirs were named in the Annual Returns. [Lee, p. 190.]
1836: A January 18, 1836 estate record for William Plant [Will Book N, pps 89-91, Lee, p. 209] shows that appraisers were John Mangum, William Boazman, and B.F. Griffin.
1836: A February 22, 1836 estate record for Captain John Floyd, Sr. [Will Bk M, pps 222-225, Lee p. 190] shows that John Mangum was also an appraiser of that estate, along with William Boazman and James G. Burton.
1836: Jemima Mangum's marriage to Charles Griffin was mentioned in a Newberry Equity Bill for Relief, dated August 20, 1836. [Bluford Griffin Adm. of John Griffin dec. vs William Albertson and wife Francis and more. (Equity Box 24, Package 12)] The Record was about the death of General John K. Griffin who died with a Last Will and Testament dated September 16, 1805. [The will was not available on line at SC Dept. of Archives and History … jeb.] All of the adult children of General Griffin were mentioned including Charles Griffin. The Court data revealed that Charles Griffin had married Jemima Mangum and had later died. (It also mentioned that she remarried Joseph Johnston.) Charles Griffin died leaving survivors Jemima and one child who died without issue and unmarried. [Dr. Sandra J. Lee; (same Equity book documented earlier, p. 145.)] [Apparently another man named Charles Griffin had an 1821 will that is available on line at the SCDAH. However, his wife was Mary, and she had several children … jeb.]

1841: Another Newberry Equity Bill [Box 27, Package 3] about a man named John K. Griffin was filed on Aug. 28, 1841, to partition his estate land, saying that John K. Griffin died intestate August 1, 1841. [If this was the same man, he really planned ahead … his will was supposedly written 1805.] John K. Griffin died intestate August 1, 1841. One of Griffin's two tracts was called "Belfast" (835 acres) in Laurens District bounded by Allen Andrews, Peter Saddler, widow Boyd, William Horan, B.F. Griffin, [See Lee, p. 161.] The other tract (1600 ac) was called "Mount Vernon Tract" adjoining Milly Waldrop, John Mangum, Silas Hill, Drayton Nance, Samuel Caldwell, Allen Andrews, and B.F.

1847: A man named John Mangum was mentioned as a son in the Newberry County will of Anna Mangum, widow of William Mangum. Her will was written Feb. 10, 1847 and proven on May 2, 1848. However, she also had daughters named Nancy Peterson, Jemima Johnson, Peggy Neel, Edna Glenn [her son was Hillery Richmond (son of Christopher Griffin, per Court record researched by a friend of mine ... and DNA testing this century ...jeb)], and Rebecca Newman, and sons named Daniel Mangum, William Mangum (his son was Francis Marion Mangum), James Mangum, deceased (his son was James F. Mangum); and John Mangum. [William Mangum's will is in Dr. Sandra J. Lee's book entitled Will Book L, pps 237-248.]
1851 record recalling John Mangum's earlier move to Alabama. [Newberry "ExParte" Equity Records 1844-1862; LDS Film #24216 Filed 1859 Box 30, No. 5; Transcribed by Mrs. Edith Greisser. ExParte Washington Floyd, Petition to Confirm Sale of Slaves, Solicitor: Jones.] In 1851, John A. Moore was appointed Trustee of a separate estate of Many Ellen Mangum, daughter of John McKering. William Floyd later replaced John A. Moore and purchased a slave for $725 by the name of Mary Jane who had a child named George, and also a female slave named Jinny for $505. Mary Ellen Mangum and her husband J. W. Mangum [another place says J.M. Mangum] moved to ALA with the father-in-law John Mangum who had promised to obtain Trusteeship in the State of ALA. Washington Floyd permitted the slaves to leave the State on that promise but without ever obtaining Trusteeship, John Mangum sold the slaves for $2380. Mary E. Mangum died 1854, survived by two children, Lawrence Magnum [sic] and Alice Mangum. Washing. [sic] Floyd petitioned the Court to confirm the sale of the slaves. Also see Box 29, No. 11. [page 67, Greisser, Equity Records footnoted previously.]
1858: Box 29, No. 11 [Petition for guardianship] was filed by Washington Floyd August 24, 1858 [LDS film #24215] Solicitor Jones. Lawrence Magnum [sic] 7 years old, and Alice Elizabeth Magnum [sic] 2 years old, were minors entitled to a distributive share in an estate of their deceased mother. Washington Floyd petitioned the Court to appoint him Guardian of the children, stating the mother was dead, and accused the father of desertion. J. M. Mangum [sic] signed consent to the appointment. Washington Floyd had to go back to Court and post another bond for Alice Magnum [sic] as the first was a clerical error, and one of the sureties, Joseph Davenport, was in ill health. [Greisser, page 63, same book footnoted previously.]

2. From Albemarle Parish Church Records - see LDS Ordinance extraction information below.
MARRIAGE:
1. Probable sisters Gemima and Anna Goggins married brothers William and John Mangum. Some say the Goggins father was Hamilton Goggins; however, I see no mention of that name in censuses. However in the land records and censuses in close proximity to John Mangum are several Goggans.
BURIAL:
1. Colleen Gwynn notes an Oct. 1797 term in Newberry Co., South Carolina. Colleen in her research notes states that William Mangum is the son and heir of John Mangum making him a sibling to John Mangum the patriot who is his next door neighbor in the 1790 census in Newberry Co., SC. She also indicates William and his wife Anna are buried in the Mangum Family Graveyard in Silverstreet near Bush River.
2. From the above notes from John Palmer's book: "Both William and Anna are buried in "Mangum Family Burying Ground" located on a ridge to the left of the "Granny Mangum Springs" and original Mangum homesite on the original Mangum Plantation at the junction of the Newberry County Highway 58 (Old Belfast Road) and Highway 22. The original road was called the "King's Road" - Indian Trail."
3. From the book "Our Folks," by Maron Summer Eve, Columbia, SC, 1987, copy in FHL library in Salt Lake City, p. 227:
"...Mangum Cemetery located Newberry County, SC, road junction Newberry Co. Hwy. #58 "Old Belfast Road" and Hwy. #22 on rt. in wooded area behind Dominck School House now converted into a dwelling house."
Tombstone transcriptions from 1965 survey of Cemetery. Appears to have had 5 tombstones:
