MANGUM (plot) -Many Family Members here
http://home.inu.net/sadie/jmangum.htm
Raised my kids with regular junkets to graveyards throughout CA, and taught them history. They did some astounding research projects on different people and families who caught their interest.
In past digs in re this case, I kept on passing by the "Isle of Wight" ones thinking these were in England. Dittos, contrariwise there's a Durham in England.
I'll bet dollars to donuts the original spelling was indeed "Mangham". My own family name took on different "spellings", by recorders, once the American shores were reached.
