Hello again Sharon. Yes I do believe that we are indeed cousins (sorta). You descend from: George R. Manes 1785 Pleasant R. Manes John Wesley Manes Harry R. Manes I descend from: George R. Manes 1785 William L. Manes 1823 (brother to your Pleasant) David Allison Manes & Annie Helms Manes Cora Manes Strauser Albright (my Grandmother) Allie Strauser (my Dad) You asked about Richard Manes. There was a Richard Crayson Manes @ 1876 son of David Allison Manes. He was a half brother to my Grandmother Cora. You asked about Lehman B. Manes and Callie. There was a Lehman B. Manes s1891 - 1976 and California 1896 (possibly Callie) children of William B. Manes 1854. William B. Manes1854 was the son of William L. Manes 1823 (brother to Pleasant) I did not find a Bessie. Possily she married a Manes or maybe Bessie was a nickname for another name. I do not know who they married. I would love to have more on your lines for John Wesley Manes Family and Harry R. manes Family to add to my Family Treemaker files. I have to tell you that I have not worked on my Manes line to the extent that I have my Strauser line yet. Much of this Manes info. came from someone elses research. Whom I have not been able to find out. A lot of it was given to a cousin from someone else. ??? I had already done some research on my direct Manes line and I added this information to what I already had. I have been trying to proof as much as I can on my lines. I always use info like this as a key to researching for myself. I hope I have helped and did not mislead you. If anything here is incorrect please let me know if you find out differently. And oh yes we had a wonderful time in the mountains. Thanks, Patricia Strauser Johnson
