1. 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:
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. His will shows him dying 1815.)
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), Robert Richey, 1-1-6-1. (Separated from Wm. Mangum by 39 names.)
2. 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. FHL Film 1697868 and book "The Mangums of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, Utah, and Adjoining States," by John T. Palmer, Ph.D. Santa Rosa, CA 95409, 1993, 3rd ed., p. 11 postulates a father by the name of Daniel Goggins: "Gemima Goggins, b. 20 May 1775, Craven Co., SC, now Newberry Co., believed to be the daughter of Daniel Goggans ("Fighting Dan" of the Revolution, b. ca 1730 and killed by the Tories) of Newberry... SC." He also notes: "Some descendants of Daniel Goggans contend that he is the progenitor of the Goggans family in America. Daniel Goggans and wife Nancy are buried in the Daniel Goggans Family Cemetery, Newberry Co., SC on the southside of the Little River on Goggans Branch near the old house site. His fieldstone marker notes that Daniel, b. 1730, VA, was shot and killed by the Tories November 1781." [Note: some undocumented sources indicate two underaged sons of Daniel may have also been killed at the same time.]

"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 activities. 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. [The book continues with extensive ancestry of William into several generations; I list just the first generation:]

Footnotes:
18. Headstone of William Mangum in the Mangum Family Cemetery on the Mangum Plantation, 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 clearly designating 1756 as his year of birth, not 1755.

6. From the FHL book "Our Folks," by Maron Summer Eve, Columbia, SC, 1987, pp. 223-227, footnotes:
Footnote No. 2: "According to the very sparse information now available from the early records of the Goggans family, it appears Daniel's daughter, Anna, was born May 20, 1765 in Culpeper County, Virginia from whence she, with her parents, came to Craven County, South Carolina in the wagon train in the summer of 1766 about one year old.
The Old Ninety-Six District was established in the interior by Circuit Court Act of 1769. Perhaps about this time the Daniel Goggans family settled south of Little River on a branch named Goggans Branch on which a cool clear spring supplied an issue of water for use of the family and livestock.
The happy carefree days of her girlhood were brought to a grim conclusion by the atrocities of the Revolutionary War in which she endured not only hardships and privations of that period but witnessed the murder of her father and the burning of their home by the enemy while her father struggled to save his family and home. He came out of the burning house and was shot unto death about Nov. 1781 by a band of "Twigs."
Not everything was of ambiguous character for Anna. She witnessed the end of hostilities and the beginning of freedom for all. From the charred house still standing, Anna Googans was married 1784 to William Mangum of a nearby plantation south of the old county road.
In 1785, the boundary lines of Newberry County were drawn and Newberry County Court House established. Anna had her two feet down on the terra firma in Newberry County which was a great blessing and a wonderful county in which to rear her children, a garden spot beautiful in all seasons. Anna and her family were of the Baptist Church. They worshipped at the Bush River Baptist Church. The grand old church is still standing. [Kerry's note: the Church now standing was built long after this period on the spot where the original church stood.]
Ms. Sadie Goggans in her manuscript wrote 'a William Mangum joined Bush River Baptist Church Oct. 12, 1805.' So Anna had a good husband, a God-fearing man for a companion and helper. Their son, Rev. Daniel Mangum was received as a member on Jan. 12, 1826. He was ordained as a preacher and evangelist on June 7, 1826. On May 12, 1826 he became the Pastor of the church.
To her descendants Anna (Goggans) Mangum left a great heritage not of material things, but a simple philosophy which has been handed down to six generations: 'Do the best you can as long as you can.' Such an admonition could have come only from her life of hardships, deprivation, great courage and fortitude during and following the period of the Revolutionary War. Thus she lived out her allotted years being a widow for about 21 years, and dying in her 83rd year, April 30, 1848, honored, respected, and cherished by her children and her children's children, at rest at last in the hallowed plot near 'Granny Mangum Spring' in the family cemetery on the Mangum Plantation."
7. Email dated 7 Aug 2013 from Guy Perry :
"I am not an expert on these families. They just came up in the course of my work on the Towles family.
I have been consolidating the information that I found in Family Tree Maker file. It helps to aggregate and cross-check the information. From what I've gathered, the Goggans family (who came from Virginia to SC) was as follows: Daniel "Fighting Dan" Goggans (1730-1781) married Nancy Williams (1732-1782) and had at least the following children:
1. Jane Goggans (1748-1826) who married Oliver Towles (1736-1781). I have identified 4 children for them: John Towles (1763-1812), Daniel Towles (1765-1829), Elizabeth Towles (1770-?) who m. Rutherford Boulware, and David Towles (1781-1810).
2. George Goggans (1750-1781)
3. Elizabeth Frances Sarah Goggans (1754-1823) m. William Davenport.
4. Anna Goggans (1765-?) m. William Mangum (1756-1827).
5. Jemima Goggans (1775-1812) m. (1) John Towles (1772-1804), nephew of Oliver Towles, and (2) John Mangum, Jr., brother of William Mangum. I can't find any record that she had any children by either husband.
6. Jeremiah Goggans (1776-1807)
7. James Goggans (1782-1854).
This family group is consistent with what I could find between the family histories and the available records. There were probably other children.
This family was impacted severely by the well documented Tory rampage that occurred in Nov-Dec 1781. Fighting Dan, his son George, and two younger sons (not named) were killed in the onslaught. Son-in-law Oliver Towles, his brother Stokeley Towles, and their father John Towles were also killed. The soldiers, led by the Turner brothers and their commander "Bloody Bill" Cunningham, burned the Goggans house and the Towles blacksmith shop. The soldiers had been part of the SC militia, but for some reason revolted and joined the British in fighting the American patriots. One reason put forward later was that the Cunningham forces had been marauding the area foraging and killing and the Towles brothers killed the youngest Turner brother. The rest was a bloody revenge by the Turners that ended up taking perhaps as many as 60 lives over a 2 week period. They took no prisoners, murdering at least one group of 20 soldiers they captured, in addition to the others they found along the way. The episode is described in this broader way in an article that appeared in "The American Magazine" in July 1884, p. 46, under the title of "The Avengers of Blood." The magazine can be downloaded from www.archive.org.
My information on the Goggans families assembles what I could find in various family histories, but is supported circumstantially by local histories, land records, and available public records (not much). There is a Daniel Goggans Cemetery (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&CRid=2353810) and although it is said there are no markers left, someone has left memorials on Findagrave for some of the older family members."
8. Online South Carolina Department of Archives and History Online accessed 25 Apr 2013 which shows two records of Goggans associated with John Mangums. The first Mangum is most likely John the Patriot and the second is the nephew of Patriot. The exact relationship of the named Goggans with the two Goggans who married brothers John and William Mangum is currently unclear in my mind:
1799: John Mangum's name is spelled "Mangram" in a plat surveyed for Charles Williamson in 1799. [SCDAH Plat Series: S213192, Volume 37, Page 359, Item 2, Date: 9/2/1799.

Names indexed: Abney, John; Eastland, Thomas; Goggins, Daniel; Goodman, Joseph; Mangram, John; Spencer; Williamson, Charles. (Note: A copy of Daniel Goggans' father George Goggans' 1803 Newberry Co. will is included in Appendix #1.)]
Appendix #1: Will of George Goggans; Newberry, South Carolina. [KP note: full text available online from which I make the following abstract:] George Goggans of Newberry District, "being sick of body but in sound & perfect memory" disposes as follows: "my children that has not received as much of my Estate as those that have married & left me that their parts shall be made up out of my Estate; "son James Goggans shall have all that part of my land lying Over the Branch where his field is Joining Daniel Butler"; "Remaining part of my Estate both Real & Personal be sold & divided among my nine children allowing Bettey Anderson & Jefiah Goggans one equal part with the rest of my children"; appoints "my Loving son James Goggans & my loving son Daniel Goggans to be my lawful executors."

1840: John Mangum's name was mentioned in an 1840 petition of citizens in Newberry Co. against William Harmon's petition to open a road and bridge the Little River. [SCDAH Series: 8165015, Year: 1840, Item: 69, Date: 9/15/1840.

DEATH:
1. Online South Carolina Department of Archives and History Online accessed 25 Apr 2013:
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, pp. 237-248.]
