Vera Mann Scott 100th

This Christmas, Dec 25, 2014 marks the 100th birthday of Vera Mann--the anchor of this blog. I nearly forgot. In all of my research related to the Mann family of Massachusetts, I thought for sure I'd find a Mayflower connection, but recently discovered the connection comes through my father's side. HA Either branch puts us in Plymouth Colony. :-)

Vera's Lineage: Richard Man, Thomas Man, Ensign Mann, Ensign II, Ensign III, William, Horace, James

Born in Athol, MA, Vera died 13 May 1999 in Gresham, Oregon.

Bloodline to 6 Kings of England and King of Jerusalem

ADDENDUM--Jan 3, 2018
I'm sorry, but there appears to be an unverified weak link in this lineage. Thousands of others would love to have it verified as well, but it will most likely never happen, so this tree is null/void.

Happy New Year, everyone! As you may or may not know/recall, we descend from rebel Ensign Mann, II (1740–1829)* and Alice Whitney (1748–1806) of Petersham, MA. I've been slow about researching the Whitney line, and a cousin (Ruth) in Alaska finally got me started. (FYI: There are several Mann cousins in Alaska!) I took her research and went back even further--26 generations. We are related to six (6) Kings of England and even a King of Jerusalem! This research is solid and well documented as there are about a zillion other people who follow the lineage and have done extensive research. Contact me for complete charts on this line and the Athol/Petersham Mann family branches.

*This blog references Ensign Mann Sr. and Tabitha Vinal because this Ensign had two sons that settled in Petersham, MA. Son Elijah has no known living descendants, thus leaving Ensign II and his wife Alice Whitney and their descendants as the focus.
