married Albina's younger sister Salina Balch in 1829). John & Albina and they
had 9 children. They moved from Kentucky to Indiana sometime between 1815 to 1820,
possibly when John's parents left Kentucky for Illinois in 1817. They are listed

were in Rockville, Parke Co., Indiana in 1820 through 1826, but they moved from

the right age to be Agnes, age 17, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1820

| Robert "Bartus" Mann | Robert "Bartus"
Mann was born on June 12, 1805 in Abbeville District, SC. His parents emigrated
from South Carolina to Logan Co., KY in 1807 when he was about age 2. I have not
found the family on the 1810 census at this time. There is a male the right age
to be Robert, age 15, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1820 census of Plumb
Creek, Randolph Co., IL. Robert married Salina Moore Balch about 1826,
probably in Randolph Co., IL although I have not found them on the Illinois State
Marriage Index at this time. (There is an online tree that lists their marriage
dates as August 12, 1829, but as they had children born as early as June 1827
I don' t think that is correct.) Robert's brother John Mann had married Salina's
sister Albina Balch in 1815. Robert & Salina had 7 children. The family is
listed on the 1830, 1840 censuses of Randolph Co., IL. I have not found the family
on the 1850 census at this time. They are listed on the 1860, & 1870 censuses

| Jane Ann Mann | Jane Ann Mann was born on February
24, 1809 in Logan Co., KY. I have not found the family on the 1810 census
at this time. In 1817, her parents emigrated from Kentucky to Randolph Co., IL
to join former neighbors from Abbeville, SC. There is a female the right age to
be Jane, age 11, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1820 census of Plumb Creek,
Randolph Co., IL. Jane married Robert Gibson Baird on December 27, 1829
in Randolph Co., IL. They are listed on the 1830 & 1840 census of Randolph
Co., IL. In 1840 there are 2 young children listed in the household, although
I do not find them in any later census records so do not know their names or what
happened to them. Robert Baird died on August 19, 1845 in Randolph Co., IL. There
is a Randolph Co., IL marriage record for a Corydon Barnett to a Jane Mann on
December 1, 1845 - the timing would fit for this to be a possible remarriage for
Jane, but is probably not as she is listed as Jane Baird on the 1850 census and
also on all later census records. Jane is listed on the 1850 census of Township
5 S R 6 W, Randolph Co, Illinois living with her 18 year old nephew James P. Patterson.
She is listed on the 1860 census of Township 5 S Range 7 W, Randolph Co., IL in
the household of her brother-in-law James H. Patterson (he had married Jane's
sister Albina in 1833, but Albina had died in 1838). Jane is listed as widowed
and living with her brother Samuel Alexander Mann on the 1870 & 1880 censuses
of Randolph Co., IL. In 1880 she is age 69. Jane Ann Mann Baird died on January
17, 1892. Notes for Jane Ann Mann Baird |
| Albina Mann | Albina Mann was born on January 8, 1812
in Logan Co., KY. In 1817, her parents emigrated from Kentucky to Randolph
Co., IL to join former neighbors from Abbeville, SC. There is a female the right
age to be Albina, age 8, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1820 census of
Plumb Creek, Randolph Co., IL. There is a female the right age to be Albina, age
18, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1830 census of Randolph Co., IL. Albina
married James Harvey Patterson on February 21, 1833 in Randolph Co., IL
and I believe they had 2 children. Albina Mann Patterson died on July 15, 1838
in Randolph Co., IL. James Harvey Patterson remarried in 1839 and started
a second family about 1840, and there are 2 young children listed in the household
of Albina's sister Robert & Jane Baird that I believe are Albina's son James
P. Patterson and also a young daughter. Robert Baird died in 1845, and James P.
Patterson, age 18, is living with Jane Baird on the 1850 census of Randolph Co.,
IL. Jane is living with James Harvey Patterson and his second family on the 1860
census of Twp 5 S Range 7 W, Randolph Co., IL. Notes for Albina Mann Patterson |
| Samuel Alexander Mann | Samuel Alexander Mann was born
on March 1, 1815 in Logan Co., KY. He is listed on most records as Alexander
Mann. In 1817, when he was about age 2, his parents emigrated from Kentucky to
Randolph Co., IL to join former neighbors from Abbeville, SC. There is a male
the right age to be Alexander, age 5, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1820
census of Plumb Creek, Randolph Co., IL. There is a male the right age to be Alexander,
age 15, in the household of Robert Mann on the 1830 census of Randolph Co., IL.
Alexander was married 3 times. He first married Nancy Pressley on August
20, 1835 in Randolph Co., IL and they had 7 children. (I have also seen her last
name spelled Pressly). At the time of their marriage, Alexander was age 20 and
Nancy was age 19. The family is listed on the 1840 census of Randolph Co., IL.
A Randolph Co., IL history states that Nancy and 3 of their daughters died in
a cholera epidemic in 1849. Nancy was age 34 when she died - I am not sure who
the third daughter is who died in 1849 as I only know of two. Possibly I have
the wrong death date for daughter Mary L. Mann. On the 1850 census of Twp 5S Range
7W Randolph Co., IL, Alexander and 4 of his children, living with his parents
with his father, Robert M. Mann, listed as head of household. Alexander married
second Henrietta Bratney on March 21, 1855 in Randolph Co., IL and they
had 3 children. Excerpt from the 1875 Atlas of Randolph Co., IL: "His (Samuel
A. Mann's) first wife died in 1849, and Mr. Mann was again married in March, 1855,
to Henrietta Bratney. A short time before his father's death he bought the interest
of the other heirs, and obtained entire possession of the homestead property.
His second wife died in 1861." The family is on the 1860 census of Twp 5S
Range 7W, Randolph Co., IL. Henrietta Bratney Mann died on March 20, 1861 in Randolph
Co., IL. Alexander married third Sarah Pillers Crozier on April 14, 1863
in Randolph Co., IL. They did not have any children together, although they both
had children from previous marriages. It was also the third marriage for Sarah
- she had previously been married to James Thompson Jr. in 1833, with whom she
had one son. She then married Samuel Crozier in 1837 and they had 3 children.
Samuel & Sarah are listed on the 1870 census of Twp 7 S, Range 7 W, Randolph
Co., IL and on the 1880 census of Central Pct, Randolph Co., IL. Sarah Pillers
Thompson Crozier Mann died on July 20, 1900 in Randolph Co., IL. Alexander
is listed as widowed on the 1900 census of Central Pct, Randolph Co., IL. At that
time he was age 86, and living in the household of his married son Edward Everett
Mann. Samuel Alexander Mann died on February 10, 1907 in Preston, Randolph
Co., IL. The Families of Samuel Alexander Mann Notes for Samuel Alexander Mann |
