Here is part of an article from an Uvalde book, p812, that Jackie sent me.
J. A. Mangum - John Abercrombie Mangum, a descendant of the famour English general and proud to bear his name, was bor in Pickens Co., Ala., March 20, 1849. His parents were Cyrus and Lucindia O'Daniel Mangum. Cyrus had inherited a large plantation from his father. He moved to Lavaca Co., Tx. in 1856 and operated his large farm there. They were staunch Methodists and supporters of the South. He, his son-in-law, John Calhoune Turman, and eldest son, David, enlisted in the Confederate Army. He came home to die of wounds and exposure in 1862. His wife and sons operated the farm until her death in 1880. At that time the family sold the property and all moved to Uvalde, buying adjoining ranches in both Uvalde and Zavalla Counties.
Hope that helps you. Luella Mangum
