Echoes In The Mist
Benjamin's first appearance in official records of North Carolina in his marriage to Leah Mann, November 18, 1772, in Rowan Co. (2) A Rowan Co. court record, dated April 17, 1759, shows Leah was bound to George Davidson as an orphan of John Mann. Her age was given as 5 years. (3) This places her birth in 1754.
John Mann died ca. 1758, Rowan Co., North Carolina. Brother, Robert Mann died ca. 1757/8, leaving at least 3 minor children: John, Else (Alse), and Mary. John later married Elizabeth ________. They had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married John Burgin. Else Mann, daughter of Robert and sister of John, married Henry Wright, November 17, 1771, Rowan Col, North Carolina. Their daughter Gean (Jean) later married James Burgin. The Wrights and the Mann family are entangled with the Burgin family even in Maryland records.[5]
