Listed under Captains:

BENJAMIN MANN, b. about 1740, Woburn, Mass.; d. 1831, at Troy, N. Y. Benjamin Mann came with his
family to Mason, N. H., about 1771. He was twelve times moderator; town clerk; selectman, six 
years; four times representative and a member of the Committee of Public Safety. He was the 
first justice of the peace in Mason. The fine elm trees on the Common in that town were planted 
by Capt. Mann in 1790 (on the day of Rev. Mr. Hall's ordination). June, 1775, he was captain in 
Col. James Reed's regiment and took part in the battle of Bunker Hill. In August, 1778, he had 
command of a company in the regiment led by Col. Moses Nichols during the Rhode Island campaign.
Some time in the winter of 1775-76, he stated that he was in command of Capt. Robert Oliver's 
company which was, perhaps, one of the thirty-one companies sent to replace Connecticut troops
during the siege of Boston. Nothing has been learned respecting Capt. Oliver. Mr. Mann was a 
thrifty and useful citizen. He removed from Mason about 1800.
