Mungal is of Scotish heritage
Various spellings: Mungall, Mungal, Mongle, Mungale, Munghale, Mungwale, Moungwele, Mungalle, Mungwel, Mungale

The Mungall family may have originated from Stirlingshire or Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Cornelius Fox & Eveline Mungal Fox are both buried at Carpenters Methodist Church in Blount Co., Tennessee.They are in the front of the cemetery with mountain stone markers[no writing on the markers].They are the parents of Martha Diane Fox,wife of Andrew Baker Carpenter.This information was related to me many years ago by their daughter Bertie Carpenter Hanna[sister to my grandermother-Minnie Belle Carpenter Giffin.

This Scottish surname of MUNGALL is from Mungall in the parish of Falkirk, Stirlingshire.
http://www.angelfire.com/biz2/tommungall/index4.html

Some of my thoughts and observations on the surname Mungall by Tom Mungall.
Revised July 16, 2000
The Scottish surname Mungall is quite ancient being first on record in the year AD 1133. According to the Annals of Dunfermline Abbey, "Richard Mongal was elected Prior in the place of Peter, the deceased Prior, AD 1133". He died in 1148 while on pilgrimage to San Iago de Compostella, in Spain. He was the author of a small work, titled "The Lives of St. Bernard and Abelard".
According to George Black, in his work The Surnames of Scotland , Mungall originates in the parish of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Observing a map of the town of Falkirk I have noticed that Mungal is located in the north section of town just East of West Carron right in the middle of a railroad yard and extending South through the Carron Ironworks to Mungalend. There is also a Mungal Cottage which is a part of what is known as the Mungal Farm. (Photo shown below.)
According to the book, The History of Stirlingshire by William Nimmo published in 1777, makes reference to the name Mungal. When discussing the First Battle of Falkirk he states, "...The eminence upon which the Scots were drawn must have been the ridge of ground east of Mungal, and which is distinctly seen from the heights of Callendar...". (Page 167.)
According to W. C. MacKenzie's Scottish Place-Names, "The common Gaelic word for a bog is M`oine. (In topography, it is generally 'mon' or 'mun'...)" He later says that, "Mungall may mean a stony moss;...".
The surname Mungle is often associated with the surname Mungall as the same name but, with simply a different spelling. However, Mungle appears to be a a combinaton of the gaelic word for a moss or peat-bog 'mun'as a prefix and the suffix the Old Norse word 'gil' which is often rendered as 'gle' meaning ravine or valley. However, I have never found a place in Scotland bearing this name. Indeed it may be another spelling of the name Mungall and if so, might possibly shed some light on the meaning of the name. Indeed, Mungall in Falkirk does seem to fit this discription while W. C. MacKenzie's delineation of the place name does not because it is anything but stony.
Place-Names Of Scotland by James B. Johnson, BD agrees with George Black that the name emanates from Falkirk. He believes the name is probably Gaelic, moine calla, meaning `bog of loss', or `bog of disaster'. He also mentions that the word gall or gaill could mean a stranger.
The gaelic "mun a' gael" could mean "stranger in the moss" according to Ranald McIntyre. The area of Mungal would have been a marshy area resulting from the overflow of the Carron River. My thoughts include that Mungall could also be from Moinegael meaning a Highlander or Gaelic speaker in the moss or Moinegall meaning a Lowlander or non-gaelic speaker in the moss.
According to John Reid: "Mungal as a place-name:". Gaelic 'moin' a moss becomes 'mun' in place-names. For the second element I would propose Gaelic 'gobhal', pronounced 'go-ll' [there's often many more letters in written Gaelic than there are sounds]. This word means 'fork'. If you stand on top of the hill at Mungalhead and look down into the valley through which the Mungal Burn runs you can see that stream being joined by another, now called the Tophill Burn. The junction of the two creates a distinctive fork. It is equally apparent that the area around this forms quite a large bowl and, prior to modern drainage, would have been very marshy. Therefore, I would reconstruct Mungal as 'moin n'gobhal' - the moss of the fork." I find this explanation of Mr. Reid's to be the most satisfying one so far.
According to the Rev. George Dale, a descendant of Robert Mungall of Linhouse, 1797, the family is descended from William De Mungall (William de Mongale) a Scottish Baron. His lands were to the West of Falkirk and are still commemorated there in the name of at least one street, Mungallhead Road and an iron foundry, Mungall Mill. This William signed the "Ragmans Roll" in 1292 (the correct date is AD 1296.) This William de Mungall or Mongale (as is the spelling on the "Ragmans Roll") was a captain of one of William Wallace's Schiltrons at the Battle of Falkirk where he was slain. His sword is still in the possession of the Mungall family. The Sword is inscribed: "REX FER". A photograph of this sword is located in my Scottish photo album.
Alternate spellings include: Mungal, Mongall, Mungle, Mongle & Mungaw.
The name is pronounced: Mun-Gall with the emphasis on the last syllable. However, I understand that some bearing the surname pronounce it with more emphasis on the first syllable and contract the second resulting in MUN- gle.
This photograph below is part of the area called Mungal and shows the Mungal Farm Cottage and some of the lands of Mungal. Many thanks to Ranald McIntyre of Falkirk, Scotland who took this wonderful picture!

Notes:

Adam Fox Came to Sevier Co in 1783 (c1786 on marker) "Old Dutch Settlement" from Pennsylvania. Adam and his brother were not mentioned in thier father's will (Frederick Co VA 1769) by name, but are mentioned along with their mother when Adam Sr.'s land was sold 1784. The first record of Adam Sr found is an application for land in Augusta Co, VA on 30 October 1752. In 1984, a baptismal record was found in the records of the Old Pine Church located two miles west of Mount Jackson, Shenandoah County, Virginia, for the birth of a son on 19 February 1784 to Adam and his wife Elizabeth. Served in War of 1812. Buried Fox Cemetery, Sevier County, Tennessee

Originally from German heritage "Fux" translated into English "Fox".
MORE ON ADAM FOX
Adam Fox, ancestor of the Sevier County, Tennessee Fox family was born about 1760. His birth place was in scenic Shenandoah County, Virginia, somewhere in the vicinity of Mill Creek. He was the son of the German immigrant, Adam Fuchs, whose name was eventually changed to Fox by the English speaking record keepers of the time. In 1768 or 69, when Adam Jr., was a young boy of maybe 8 or 9, his father died, leaving a widow named Catherine, two young sons, Adam Jr. and his young brother, Mark and at least two or three daughters. Most widows on the frontier in the eighteenth century found themselves in desperate conditions and would lose or sell the family farm within a year or so to keep bread on the table or else they were forced into a speedy second marriage in order to survive and keep the family together. This was especially true of widows without older sons to handle the hard farming chores. The widow Catherine was to remain a widow until the last record of her in 1785, almost 20 years after Adam's death and during this time, she not only held onto Adam's 300 acres but also added another 171 acres granted to her in 1775. How she was able to do it would make a good story if we could learn the details. The closeness of the German settlers who were constantly following the frontiers as they moved west may have had much to do with her success.
The will of Adam Fuchs Sr. was written 22 March 1768 and was probated in Frederick County in 1769. The will was written in German and stipulated that the widow Catherine was to have her lawful third and that Adam's two sons were to each have a third, providing that they stayed on the land until reaching lawful age. The names of the two sons were not actually given in Adam's will, but were proven several years later when the estate was finally settled in Shenandoah County. Shenandoah County had been formed in 1772 and included the part of Frederich County where the Fox land was located. Adam Sr. also stipulated in his will that his daughters were to share equally with the boys, but instead of land, they were to receive their share in cash after the land was appraised. The names of the daughters were not named in the will but at least some of them can be tentatively identified by their later associations with Catherine and her sons.
On 7 August 1771, an appraisal of the estate of Adam was filed in Frederick County.
In 1775, Catherine Fox received 171 acres of land on Mill Creek, a branch of the North River Shenandoah, adjoining her own land. The date of warrant application was 13 November and the survey date was 5 November. (Volume III page 8) When a part of this land was sold to son Mark in 1784, that record (Deed book D page 203) indicated that Catherine was not granted this land until 16 July 1779. The grant was from the Proprietor's Office of the Northern Neck.
On 21 January 1777, Catherine Fox was a sponsor for the child of Jacob and Catherine Roush at the Old Pine Church in Shenandoah County. Catherine's name was listed as Catharina Fuksin. In German script, "in" was sometimes added to the surnames of women. The Foxes were Lutheran and Old Pine Church was a Union Church (Lutheran and German Reformed) and was located 2 miles west of Mt. Jackson, Virginia, a short distance from the present Pine Church. From this record, we can speculate that Catherine Rousch was a daughter of Adam and Catherine Fuchs and "The Roush Family in America" by Dr. L.L. Raush confirms that Catherine Rousch was a Fox According to Vogt & Kethley’s "Shenandoah County Marriage Bonds, 1772-1850", Catherine Fucksin and Jacob Rausch were married on 21 February 1775. And according to Wayland's "History of Shenandoah", their children were Rosina (born 1777), Dorothea, Catharina, Johannes, Adam, Susana and Paulas. The family left Shenandoah County for Gallia County, Ohio in 1796. Jacob Rausch was born about 1746 and was the son of John Adam Rousch and Susanna Schlern.
Dr. Rausch’s book also notes that Jonas Rausch was married to Barbara Fox. Jonas was born in 1763 and married Barbara in 1784. The family later moved to Mason County, West Virginia. Jonas and Jacob were brothers and Barbara was probably another of Adam and Catherine's children.
On 7 September 1778, Catherine, as the executrix of Adam Fox, made a deposition regarding land sold by her husband Adam in Augusta County in 1753. This land had been purchased by Adam in 1752, sold in 1753, but had not been officially recorded. This record confirms that Adam was in Virginia as early as 1752.
Records indicate that Catharina Fuchs (18 shares) and Adam Fuchs (12 shares) were among 18 Lutherans who "paid in paper money to free the congregational land from debt in the year 1781"
On 24 April 1783, Adam Fox took the oath of constable for the county.
On 25 December 1783, the court appointed Benjamin Fawcett, John Roush and Philip Roush to appraise the land of Adam Fox, deceased and to report to the court as "the youngest boy is of age". This indicates that the land was to be divided soon by the terms of Adam's will and also that Mark was either then or soon would be 21 years of age.
On 23 June 1784, 260 acres of Adam and Catherine’s land was sold to their son Mark. The selling of the land to Mark, who was an inheritor of a third of the land by the terms of Adam's will, was probably a formality in order to raise cash to distribute to Adam and Catherine's daughters as specified in the will. Catherine, Adam and Elizabeth Fox (Adam's wife) were listed as sellers on the document.
On the same day, the remaining 21 acres were sold to John Snavely, whose German name was probably Johanne Schneblis. Johannes’s wife, Anna Maria, was probably another of Adam and Catherine's daughters. The sellers of this portion of the land was listed as Catherine, Adam, Elizabeth and Mark Fox. Mark signed in a German script and Catherine, Adam and Elizabeth signed with an X.
Mark and Adam are mentioned in a 1785 Alterations list for Shenandoah County. The Alterations list was a listing of land that had not previously been listed on the tax roll, or had previously been undervalued or had been recently inherited; Mark Fox is listed with 260 acres (the land that he had purchased from the estate) and Adam Fox is listed as owner of 170 acres. The source of Adam's land is not clear as there is no record of him buying land in the county and Adam and Catherine’s 471 known acres are accounted for by Mark's 260 acre purchase and the 211 acres sold to the Snavelys. Both Mark's and Adam's land was designated "by Catherine Fox", indicating that they received the land from her by inheritance.
Adam married Elizabeth Derrick, daughter of John Derrick and Anna Maria Dunkelberger of Shenandoah County and formerly of Berks County, Pennsylvania. The exact date of Adam's marriage to Elizabeth Derrick is not known but based on birth of their oldest child in early 1784, the marriage date was probably in 1782 or 1783. The birth of Adam and Elizabeth's son was recorded in the records of the Old Pine Church on 19 February and the record reads, "a Son Johannes born to Adam Fuks and Elisabeth" The year of the birth is not given in the church record, but the 1850 census of John Fox in Sevier County indicates that he was born in 1784. Sponsors for the child were, Johannes Schneblis and wife Maria, the purchasers of the 211 acres of Adam's land, further confirming that Maria was another daughter of Adam and Catherine.
On 11 August 1784, Anna Maria Shenebele (Snavely) was born. She was the daughter of Johannes and Anna Maria and was baptized 7 September. Sponsors were Johannes and Susana Fitzmeyer.
On 4 Jun 1785, Mark Fox and Ann Bauthman (Baughman/Boughman) were married in Old Pine Church. Bondsmen were Catherine Fax and Barbary Bauthman.
In the 1785 census, Catherine is on the list of Jacob Rinker and according to Wayland's 1785 Heads of Families", Rinker’s list included families near his home in Conicville and adjacent sections of Hudson’s Cross Roads, Jerome, Liberty Furnace and Mt. Clifton. Also an Rinker's list were Jacob Baughman, who was probably the father of Marks future bride and John Lindamude, whose child was later sponsored by Mark Fox. Others included in the 1985 Shenandoah census, but not in the area surveyed by Rinker, were Peter Fox and Joseph Keeler. Peter Fox is not believed to be related. The area where he lived would later become a part of Page County when that county was formed from Shenandoah. Adam and Elizabeth's oldest daughter, Catherine, would twenty years later marry a Joseph Keeler in Sevier County, but it has not been established that he was related to the Joseph included in the 1785 census. Some miscellaneous Shenandoah and Botetourt County records:
l782 Shenandoah Land Book. Catherine is listed with 300 acres with a valuation of 150 pounds.
1782 Shenandoah Personal Property Tax list: Catherine is listed with (0 tithes, 6 horses and l8 cattle.
1783 Shenandoah Personal Property Tax list. Catherine is listed as a widow with (0 tithes horses and 18 cattle.
1783 Shenandoah Census. Catherine is included in the list of Jacob Rinker and there are 5 persons in the household. If these 5 persons are Catherine, Mark:, Maria, Adam and his wife Elizabeth, then Adam is less than 22 years old and was born a few years later than 1760. This is based on the fact that the personal property tax list showed no tithes.
Jacob Birt 6 (Bird), Jacob Desk 6 (Derk), John Derk 8 (Derrick) and John Shavely 10 (Snavely) are included in the list of Evan Jones.
l784 Shenandoah Personal Property Tax list. Catherine is listed with (0 tithes, 6 horses and 16 cattle.
1785 Shenandoah Census: Catherine is listed as a widow with 4 persons in the household. There is one dwelling and one other building.
1785 Shenandoah Alterations List. Included are Adam Fox with 170 acres valued at 55/5/0 (55 pounds 5 shillings and 0 pence) or 0/6/10 per acre and Mark Fox with 260 acres valued at 84/l0/0 (0/6/6 per acre).
1785 Botetourt Personal Property Tax list. Adam Fox with 3 persons and no dwellings is living with John Derricks 9 persons, 1 dwelling and 2 other buildings.
1786 & 1787 Shenandoah Personal Property Tax lists do not include a Fox.
The last record of Catherine Fox: was the 1785 census of Shenandoah County. Did she die shortly after this census or did she finally remarry after raising her sons and dividing Adam's land or did she accompany her children to Tennessee? No records have yet been found to provide the answers to these questions.
Adam and Elizabeth also appear on the 1785 census of Botetourt County, Virginia at the home of Elizabeth's father, John Derrick.
- John Derrick 1 tithe. 4 horses 8 cattle - Adam Fox 1 tithe. 1 horse. 13 cattle
On 13 April 1786, Mark Fox was the sponsor for Catharina, a child of John and Magdalena Lindemuth (Lindamood) at the Old Pine Church. Mark's name was recorded as Marx Fuks.
On 24 May l786, Mark and Anne Fox sold their Shenandoah land to Philip Tusing for 280 pounds. The court record indicates "a tract of land on branch of Mill Creek which was conveyed to said Mark Fox by Catherine Fox, widow, and Adam Fox and Elizabeth his wife." (Deed Book F p24)
The last Virginia record of Adam Fox and Elizabeth Derrick was recorded several years after they had departed for Tennessee. Elizabeth Derrick's father John had died in Botetourt County Virginia in 1790. His will was dated 24 August 1790 and named only two of his children. However, during the settlement phase in 1797 "Eliza" and Adam Fox were named among the heirs. (Ref. LDS Films 030,724 and 050,725) At this point, we are reasonably certain of the following facts:
Adam Fuchs, a German immigrant arrived in Augusta County, Virginia by 1752. He died in 1768 or 1769 and his will was probated in Frederick County.
Adam Fuchs was married to Catherine and he had two sons, Adam Jr. and Mark and at least three daughters, Catherine Rousch, Barbara Rousch, and Anna Maria Snavely.
Adam Fox Jr. was born about 1760 and married Elizabeth Derrick, daughter of John Derrick, about 1782 or 1783. Their first child was born in 1784 and was baptized in Old Pine Church. Mark Fox married Ann Bauthman in 1786 in Shenandoah County.
Catherine Fox was still living in 1785 and Adam and his brother Mark were still in Virginia in 1785-86, but would soon move to the wilderness of Tennessee

Adam married Elizabeth DERRICK Abt 1782, Botetourt (Historical), Botetourt County, Virginia.
