Hi,
I saw your post on Free Persons..I am researching the Mann family,My family has many,many branches emanating out of Hampton,virginia after about 1890's. Although most of the firstnames you mentioned are not in the family one is I believe that two of the brothers each had a daughter or grandaughter named Jane and that is all I know.
Matbe we are related,there were at least two sons and two daughters although there may have been another brother. the patriach is a William Mann born somtime between 1835 and 1850.Don't know exactly where he was bornhe was in Mississippi until sometime after 1874-75 and in 1889 census he is in Hampton.William's wife was born in VA. and an 1860 census shows a William Mann a free negro in Hampton I think. I have a cousin who married a Mann from North Carolina.
drop me a line maybe we ar related.
