Thanks Ann, I'll look at the deed tonight to see what the name of Mr. Manns widow was, the house was sold by a Silas Mann after his death, I remember that. Also, I dug out a few of the old photos to start and will scan them and try to upload them tonight after work, if I can figure out how to do it. These are some family groups and one of a child taken by G.E. Wells of Franklin. I don't get in until midnight so it'll be late though.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to post the photos yet, I have some right here, just don't seem to have a spare minute right now but I will get them done soon, I'm off this weekend and will be able to do them then if all else fails.
