Tom, if you'll go to http://www.familysearch.org and click on the blurb on the left about the 1880 US census, you'll be taken to the 1880 census for the entire US created by LDS. Fill in the appropriate blanks (ie Sam Mann, Arkansas, 1874, all counties), you'll find Sam Mann as a son in the household of Elizabeth Mann, widow. Click on "household" and you'll view the entire family - including birth dates/ages, birth states, occupations, etc. They're in Marion Township, Bradley Co AR. I suggest you try the 1900 Bradley Co census for information on Sam, his mother, and his siblings. I also suggest you go to the Bradley Co AR web page to see if any information or volunteer there can be of assistance. Checking marriage records might help - his mom might very well have remarried between 1880 and 1900 - or - Sam himself might have married during that time period. Hope this is helpful.

Can you aid me with information about Sam Houston Mann, born circa 1874 , possibly in Bradley Co.? He may have been the son of Elizabeth Mann. In any case, he's my runaway grandfather. Thanks.
