Additional Comments:
James N. Mann was a first cousin of Miss Diana Snellings. Diana's mother was 
Virginia (Mann) Snellings. The Manns and Snellings removed from Chesterfield 
County, Virginia to Morgan County, Georgia before 1810. Diana's father, 
Alexander,  died at a young age. Family legend is that the Alexander Snellings' 
House in which Virginia lived burned, and that James N. Mann built a house and 
gave it to his cousin, Diana. This property and house was opposite the Rehobath 
Cemetery on a dirt road. The Rehobath Methodist Church was opposite the 
cemetery having been given by Madison Branch Snellings, brother of Miss Diana 
Snellings.
