RE: headstone - 2/29/2008 11:24:11 PM    aridice53   Posts: 150 Joined: 2/20/2008 From: Huntsville, AL Status: offline Yep, J. M. Mangum b. April 30, 1822 d. Feb 23, 1861 Listed on the 1850 census for Wake Co. NC: James M. Mangum age 54 Farmer Lydia Mangum age 60 Joseph Mangum  age 21 Mary Mangum age 18 Lydia Mangum age 13 The headstone may belong to the son Joseph, he was the only one on the 1850 Census the right age.

RE: headstone - 2/29/2008 11:37:03 PM    aridice53   Posts: 150 Joined: 2/20/2008 From: Huntsville, AL Status: offline Krystal, Ryan.... I downloaded the picture and switched it to negative, this often helps reading an old stone. I forgot to mention, Joseph Mangum was listed on the census as a school teacher. Also, I found a listing of a family bible of the Ferrell family. It lists a Lydia Ferrell b. Dec. 23, 1790 d. May 1874 married (?unreadable) Mangum. So, the age of 60 on the census is probably a transcription error. Is the one of the stones you were telling me about, Ryan? Char (in reply to aridice53) Post #: 45

RE: headstone - 9/7/2008 2:41:16 PM    poisons4me Posts: 386 Joined: 12/18/2005 From: New York,Galway Status: offline That should be given to the local historical society,they would probablly place in a cemetary,which is better than nothing. I've stood a few back up but never displaced them, something feels wrong there.My opinion only. _____________________________ Always buying and trading poisons,stoneware and blobs.

RE: headstone - 9/7/2008 6:24:21 PM    glass man Posts: 1825 Joined: 1/30/2008 From: GEORGIA Status: offline SAD ,we have a very old AFRO-AMERICAN cemetary in the county with nothing but bricks or stones showing where the people are buried. IN town we have a lady buried with her dogs muffy and [don't remember]  this was during the depression when the cost of buring the mutts could have fed people _____________________________ JESUS said"COME TO THE WATER,STAND BY MY SIDE.

RE: headstone - 9/9/2008 4:04:20 AM    glass man Posts: 1825 Joined: 1/30/2008 From: GEORGIA Status: offline The ALLMAN BROTHERS had a song based on a name from a tombstone at ROSE HILL CEMETERY in MACON GA. ,where the band used to go to late at night and jammed,drank wine, and smoked pot.The song and the name on the tombstone was IN THE MEMORY OF ELIZABETH REED.This is the same cemetary where DUANE ALLMAN AND BARRY OAKLY ARE NOW BURIED! A cool place to go to with all respect,very peacefull place.[DICKIE BETTS WROTE THE SONG} _____________________________ JESUS said"COME TO THE WATER,STAND BY MY SIDE.

Do not mess with the souls.You may think it is just a stone,but its  a personal stone,made for a reason. I knew a kid once growing up that stole a stone and pit it in his bedroom.Needless to say bad things happened. _____________________________ My Web Page.Lots of pix.
