NC. Then a Jacob Maness shows up in Scotts Hill, TN., married to Hulda Austin, daughter of Charles Austin and Phoebe Woodward. Phoebe's sister, Cynthia is my GGG-grandmother. She married Benjamin Clenney. Cynthia and Benjamin were parents of my GG-grandmother, Ann Clenney, who married Andrew J. Caudel, son of Absalom Caudel, Jr. Am trying to find if there is a connection between Elizabeth Maness and Jacob Maness. There were a lot of inter-marriages between these families, as there were in most others at that time. I do not know where any of the Maness' went. I have the book "The History of Scotts Hill Tennessee" by Dr. Gordon H. Turner. It looks to me as if I connect to everyone there, one way or the other.
