Here is the information I have collected on the Mangas family. I am not related by blood,
only by marriage. My great-great-great-grandmother was Sarah Jane (Smith) Harlan Lambert,
and her sister, Jemima Smith, married a Mangas, and Sarah Jane's daughter, Lilly,
married a Mangas (see below). Hope this helps.
