They were early settlers in Colonial Virginia, from Europe, many were Slave Owners. There is a lot of history on them. The Willis MANN listed in the 1870 Marengo Co census is not the same person who is listed in the 1900 Sumter Co census, married to Angeline. He is listed as 26 years old and states his date of birth as December 1873. There are Choctaw MANN's listed in the Dawes Final Roll Index, but concentrate on getting a copy of the marriage record and finding Willis in the 1880 census. Kathy Roberts VA
