According to family legend, James M. MANGUM caught his wife, Martha R. SMITH at a barn dance with a man in the fall of 1886. James shot and killed the man that his wife was with, which is said to have been named LUNA, a brother of Lucurgis "Curgiss" LUNA. Several days later, James was working in his field when he was shot and killed (near Highway 181 in Ozark County). This started a vendetta among the Luna's and Mangum families. His brother, Howel Edward MANGUM, went after Lycurgus Luna intending to kill him. Howel MANGUM was thrown in jail, costing his Thomas MANGUM $300 to get him out of jail. They feared that all her sons were going to be killed and the family moved moved to Arkansas (Craighead County). Any additional information and/or documentation on these family members would be most appreciated. Thank you.
