Mormon Dixie Saints
Many of Richey / Adair / Mangum clan from Mississippi/Alabama were part of the Dixie Saints that immigrated to Utah and then to Washington Co, Utah as part of Mormon Dixie Mission of 1850-1869. They had relatives that fought and died in the American Civil War fighting under the flag of Alabama / South Carolina / Mississippi. The Richey / Adair / Mangum / Brown Families were part of the contingent of Dixie Saints that joined the church in branches in Mississippi and Alabama. The Noxubee group traveled directly to Pueblo Co in 1846 and almost could have beaten Brigham Young to Salt Lake Valley.

In 1845 many of this clan can be found in several branches straddling the Alabama/Mississippi stateline.
