I see that my first message did transfer completely so I will post again.
I am posting again as I see I omitted some data in my last post and I have discovered something just this morning that may be of help. I am looking for the parents of Macynthia Mangham. She married Miles G. Turner in Putnam County Georgia on 31 Jan 1822. He was the son of Ezekiah Turner. On the 1820 Putnam County Census, Willis Mangham and Hezekiah Turner are seperated by only 3 other families. In April of 1814 Hezekiah Turner purchased 57+ acres in Putnam County from William Mangham. Does anyone think that perhaps Willis and William in this case were the same people? Willis had a daughter in 1820 who was over 16 but under 25. Macynthia would fit as she was born 16 Aug 1802 (Turner Family Bible Records). The one thing that does not fit as neatly as I would like is that Hezekiah did not show a son over 16 and under 26, however he had 2 sons who were of ten and under 16. Miles was born on 10 Nov 1802 so if the census was taken between August and November this could account for the age differences. The part I omitted in my previous posting was that Miles and Macynthia had 4 children before her death. They were Martha J., John Walter, Sarah Ann Elizabeth and Thomas Rolly (or Raleigh). I believe that Martha and John Walter were the older and I have no birth dates for them. None of these names seem to have been from the Turner Family except for Sarah who was Miles' mother. Are any of these names ones that are found with any degree of frequency in the Mangham families descending from Willis of Putnam County? Sarah Ann Elizabeth was not born until 1828, too long after the marriage date to have been one of the older children. Thomas Rolly was the last and Macynthia died 26 Aug 1835.
I might note that Sarah Ann Elizabeth married Christopher C. Shivers and moved to Beckville, Texas where they lived until after the Civil War. I know that some of the Mangham also moved there. Just a coincidence or something more? I would appreciate any comments or other information on the above.
