- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Indian child adopted by Jacob Hamblin.
2. According to 17 Jul 2002 Ancestry.com database "dtjohnston," the Mary Hamblin who married John Mangum was born 1832 in Canada and died 1893 in Pima, Graham, AZ. This is a major error; that Mary Hamblin is the widow of William Haynes Hamblin who died 1872 in Nevada. Mary Hamblin is in the 1880 census at Springerville, Apache, AZ as a widow with two children. Her maiden name is Mary Amelia Leavitt, born in 1832 in Canada and died 1893 in Arizona. William was the brother to Jacob Hamblin.
3. The marriage sealing in 26 Jul 1870 EHOUS as cited below, shows Mary Hamblin b. 1852 at Merthyr Tydfil, Galmorgan, Wales, and John Mangum, b. 10 Jun 1817 at Saint Clair County, Alabama. I do not know why Wales is mentioned for Mary because clearly she was not from Wales - would they have misled the temple officials in Salt Lake City as to her origins because of some onus against temple marriages with Indians?
4. Censuses:
1860 US: Mary is not with the Jacob Hamblin family in Tonaquint, Washington, Utah.
1870 US: Kanab, Kane, Utah, p. 2 of 2, family 9 (next door to brother James Mangum and also to Jacob Hamblin):
John Mangrun, 50, farmer, NY.
Marian, 48, keeping house, NY.
Joseph, 19, UT.
John, 18, UT.
George, 16, UT.
Syrus, 13, UT.
Abigal, 11, UT
Caroline, 9, UT.
David, 8, UT.
Ellen, 3, UT.
Mary, 16, UT, sernt. (Servant? In reality, this would be John's Indian wife since she appears with his last name. Also her race is marked with an "In" for Indian whereas everyone else in the family is with an "w" for white.)
MARRIAGE:
1. The book "Pioneer Women of Faith and Fortitude" by Daughters of Utah Pioneers mentions Mary Ann Adair Mangum and gives a biography for her. See her notes for a full citation. Mary Ann and John were among the first settlers in Payson, Nephi, Washington County, and Kanab, Utah. They later were sent to Alpine, Arizona to settle. While in St. George they helped with the growing of cotton. John took a second wife, Ellen Bardsley, while in Payson, and Mary Hamblin, the adopted Indian daughter of Jacob Hamblin, became his third wife.
DEATH:
1. The journal of James Lovett Bunting, 1832-1923, contains the following entry on p. 158 [161] from the fort at Kanab, Utah: "Jan. 7 1871. The Measels had been brought into the Fort by one of Bro John Mangum's boys 3 weeks since and by this time it had spread throught the greater part of the Fort. Sunday 8th Jan'ry Two cases of Measels had proved fatal James Mangum's son - age 8 and John Mangum's wife (Squaw) age 17 years. Went to meeting in the a.m. & in the p.m. attended the funeral of John Mangum's wife." James Bunting was in the Black Hawk War in 1866 and then moved to Kanab, Utah.
