Mann Rayville, La Gray A. Mann Moss Mann ** Emma through Gray looks like it was written at one time by one person, Moss Mann was written in a different color ink in different handwriting and starting with Rayville Rural-La. through the rest of the list, it looks like a third person wrote it.**** DEATHS G A Mann Died May 3th 1903 (did she mean 3rd or 8th - hard to tell) Moss Mann died Jan 29 1904 Eda Mann Norvell died June 12 1937 Robert E. Mann died Nov. 22 1948 Mattie D. Mann died March 1 1960 Gray A.

Mann and Mattie E. Dennis was united in matrimony Sept 11th 1887. G.A. Mann was Born Oct 26th 1864. Mattie E. Dennis was Born Oct 5th 1871 **This all came out of a big, big, thick bible. Inside the bible were some pages attached together that look like they came out of a seperate, smaller book. The only page filled out wast the page on Holy Matrimony. It states that G.A. Mann and Mattie Dennis married at Midway Church on Sep 11 1887. Signed by G.A. Mann and Mattie Dennis. Witnesses: G.F. Justice and W.K. Pickett Inside the Mann Bible were two sheets of paper that are below. (typed as written) James M. Mann was born the 10 day of feberday 1836 Savanah R. Mann was born the 22 day of January 1840 James M. Mann and Savanah R. Guice was maried the 31 day of July 1856 Son John Watts Mann was born July the 18, 1857 Son William Bluat was born October the 28, 1859 Son Sidney J. Mann was born January the 7, 1862 Son Gustavus A.

Mann Died January the 11, A D 1872 ***All of this was written by one person in red ink at one time. However, on the last line James M. Mann death date 1872 had the & erased and the 7 was written in pencil. I always assumed she meant James M. Mann, Sr. but it could have been his son. But, from what Dot sent me about the 1880 census showing Savannah married to W.M. Grayson and James M. Mann as 8 yrs old, I guess it does refer to senior James M.*** ********This paper was folded over twice and on the back in pencil was written: Mrs. G.A. Mann Baby Died Jan 28, 1904 (I believe she is referring to Moss Mann b. 1902) The second paper is two small sheets connected together. On the back is written The Family Record in the same color ink as the rest of the paper. Also on the back written in pencil on two lines is Mattie E. Mann Wife of G.A. Mann. James M.
