I am trying to find information on the Mangus family in Bedford County. I have traced back about 4 generations that all lived in Napier Township and would appreciate any information you have. I found a small paragraph in the History of Bedford county, Napier Twp which was published in 1884 that I found in a local LDS Family history Center, but most of the Censun record on microfilm are unreadable. My GFather was Daniel C. Mangus his father, George Mangus, his Father, Jacob Mangus and I believe his Father was Peter Mangus in the 1810 Census.
Any information would be appreciatedJean KARNS Ladd Fri Oct 10 18:07:49 1997
Wanting to leave personal info on Rev. C. W. KARNS who was the minister of the Methodist Church at the end of the 1800s and perhaps for a few years later. I understand that a book has been written about him, and probably it is related to his work with the circuit of churches there at that time. Could anyone help with his personal vitals. Thanks, Jean Ladd, jladd@ionet.netVicki Trudell-Iseler Sat Oct 11 11:20:38 1997
