In 1808, John C. Mangham married Ann McKenzie in Glynn County, Georgia. His wife left him in 1827 "with the pretext" of suing for divorce and recovery "of certain property, then in the possession of your petitioner." Still married in 1831, Mangham gave his wife all his slaves by a deed of trust during her life, hoping this would resolve their difficulties. Shortly after receiving the slaves, however, Ann Mangham moved with the slaves to the Florida Territory to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Mangham wrote letters asking her to "return home," but she refused. He seeks a divorce.
