I am searching for the parents of Wiley P. Mangum/Mangrum, born 1795, NC. Died 1882, Walnut Grove, Hardin County, Tennessee. Married Mary McSwain/McSwane, d/o John McSwain and Martha Andrews. Children: 1. * Thomas Carothers Mangum, born 9/13/1832, TN, married Mary Jane Barnes, d/o Lilburn Barnes and Mary Waits. Mary Waits, d/o John B. Waits and Miriam Cyempka. (My direct line) 2. Howell Edward Mangum, married Catherine Hitchcock 3. Mary Elizabeth Mangum, married Jefferson Hitchcock 4. Sarah Jane Mangum, married Daniel Hitchcock 5. Priestly S. Mangum, married Ann Pernell 6. Martha Ann Mangum, married William Lucas 7. John McSwain Mangum, died during Civil War 8. Marion R. Mangum, married Margaret Rhodes 9. Lucy Ann Mangum, married Joseph Smith 10. William Wiley Mangum, married Nancy Austin 11. James Madison Mangum, married Ann Shipp 12. Isaac Monroe Mangum, married Timey Brooks. I believe John Mangum, born 1763, in Lunenburg County, Virginia, and Mary Murdoch, born about 1763, in Ireland or Newberry, SC, to be the parents of my Wlley P. Mangum. I am hoping someone on this list will have, and will share the documentation that will confirm this. "History of Hardin County Tennessee" In the hey-day of the Whig Party, North Carolina sent to Congress two members as adherents of that faith. Their names were William A. Graham and Wylie P. Mangum. Sometimes, their followers were referred to as the Graham­-Mangum Party. In the westward push of colonization one of the descendants of Wylie P. Mangum, also called “Wylie,” migrated westward. He first settled in Wayne County then in Hardin County in the present Walnut Grove community. Here he reared a large family, many of whom still live in this county. In the same community was the Haynes family. One of the oldest was Darling Haynes who homesteaded much land and left many children and grandchildren throughout the county. In the southeastern part of the county near the Mangum home and the Haynes home lived the large Cossey family. The Tenth Tennessee Infantry received Capt. C. W. Shipman's company from Hardin County. The history of both the Sixth and Tenth is given under the head of these regiments in the State history. Besides the trouble and devastation caused by the regular troops of the respective armies, the people were terribly scourged by the guerrilla bands of Burt Hays (Confederate) and Doc Mangum (Federal). Was Doc Mangum, James Madison Mangum, s/o Wiley P. Mangum? Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks, Jo Ann Crafton Boyce
