Tn., but i think at that time those counties might have still be in N.C. . , he died 1861 Etowah Co. Al. , he married Chelnessa Doherty Leeth. would appreciate it if you would keep a lookout in your research for his name, you would think with a name like Manassah something would turn up but no one in the family has found anything about his parents or siblings.
