Hi Dee. You might be connected with my MANN/WOODS /PATTON line. I sure wish you could straighten me out as we have a question which of the Patton daughters married Robert MANN. Here's what I have: Thomas PATTON According to letter from Robert Mann Woods dated 9-8-1911, the Patton's came from Cecil County, Maryland. Thomas Patton was a leading man in the community--sheriff etc. He had three daughters, the most highly educated & accomplished girls: Sarah Lyon Patton.....married Robert Mann Mary Patton................married unknown Christy Jane Patton................married Thomas Anderson The above that states Sarah married Robert Mann is not borne out by the records in the WOODS family bible, by letter dated 10-14-1920 from Arda St. Clair Rorison to Walter L. Anderson, Lincoln, NE, nor the gravestones in Greenville,Mercer,PA. ..Robert MANN has a very beautiful monument in Greenville,PA and it is decorated with the Star and Flag of a soldier. His inscription reads: Robert Mann, b12-25-1783, d03-22-1853, aged 69 yrs, 2 ms, 25 da. Next to him is a plain stone with: In memory of Mary, Wife of Robert Mann who died 08-22-1831, aged 49 yrs. Their son James is buried on the other side. Capt. Robert MANN's record in the War of 1812 is in the History of Mercer Co.,PA, by J.G. White, Chicago, IL, 1909, Vol. 1, p 178. It is noted that MANN, LYON, WOODS, and McLAUGHLIN participated in organization f Presbyterian Church of West Greenville, Mercer Co, PA, 1825. >From the files of William Robert Woods, Jan.1935, Pine Ridge, SD: Robert Mann grew up near Wilmington. Married Mary Patton of Cecil County, Maryland. The entire family moved to Washington Co.,PA. The MANN, WOODS, and LYON families associate. Capt. Robert Mann had Woods relatives in his Company in the War of 1812. He moved the bodies of his parents to the new cemetery. He left there in 1842 but was buried beside his parents. He willed f100 to his daughter, Sarah Lyon Mann. After Robert & Mary Patton were married they went to Washington Co, PA (evidently with John Mann (1) where they bought land) I have much more info on the children of Robert MANN and wife Mary PATTON-MANN. I also have a picture of Sarah L. MANN-WOODS. I question why we have a picture of Sarah but that's what it says on the back. I'm confused...now I have all of you confused right along with me. I have no idea if this family ties in with your PATTON's. The other surnames you listed are not within my genealogy, but then...I'm missing a lot also. Let me know if you wish further information. I might have more on the PATTON name...I'm rushed at the moment.
