I am at work and don't have my data base here. If the name Jane Manis means anything to you in your research, I'd appreciate a reply - I would love to have some additional info on this line. Thanks!

Surnames: Dalton, Maner, Manis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3331.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: No, that wasn't my thinking. But, I think there may be a deeper connection between the Manises and the Daltons. Perhaps Matthew Dalton was related to James Dalton (Sr?). Pleasant Maner had changed his name to Pleasant Manis by 1860 and was in District 4, and was living next door to James Dalton (110--should be 90). Cynthia Maner had married James Yearly and was living next door. Apparently William Dalton had died and Sarah (Sallie) Dalton was still living in District 16. This seems to suggest that Pleasant Maner/Manis' wife Mary (ten years older than Pleasant) may have been the daughter of James Dalton.

It is possible that the 1850 Maner spelling was really Manes. In 1850, they lived next door to William Dalton married to Sarah, and James Dalton (80) married to Peggy. Maybe there is more than meets the eye here.

Surnames: Manis, Maner, Britton Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3331.1.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: I have looked at this again and again. I don't think that the court records actually resolve our Anna problem. The court records for the prosecution suggest to me there is no connection with our John Manis. Abraham Britton and Annis Manis were prosecuted for L&A in 1847. They were stated to be living together for some time. However, the witness lists is interesting. It includes ?? Baily, James/Jane Hennard, James Tucker, Clinton Luster, David Britton, and Michael Baugh (a Ball?). James Tucker, David Britton and Clinton Luster lived in District 16 in 1850, near Peter Maner. There was an Abraham Brittion age 23 living in Wilson County with a Baily in 1850. Interestingly, Peter Maner has a 23 year old girl named Cintha with a 4 year old child living with him in 1850. So, my suspicion is that Annis was the daughter or daughter in law of Peter Maner. So, this may be our earliest indication that the Maners were really Manises, as we know when they changed the spelling ! of their names. The Grand Jury was from all over the county.

Forgive me if I asked already, but were your BRIGGS out of NC ? I have a Barbara BRIGGS who was born in NC. I know little about her prior to this. She had a son "Jesse BRIGGS" b abt 1781 SC and shortly after that she married James BURK or BURKE in SC. there is a possiblity that BRIGGS was not her married name, no reason to suspect this however, but I have nothing on a first marraige either. I was told once by a researcher that Gray BRIGGS of NC maybe related. I think it was speculation based on some GRAY family ties. anything?

Surnames: Lawson, Manis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/XeB.2ACE/3331.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: We will never know for sure who the father of Amanda was. Anna was prosecuted by the state for L&A in the mid-1840s and John Manis was a witness or Grand Juror. In retrospect, there isn't any evidence that the children were by the same father--much like daughter Sarah. John Jackson Lawson was prosecuted during this period for gambling and for running a tippling house. My suspicion is that is how he met her. Latham would be the only one that would allow us to pin down the male line. I don't know if any of his male descendents are participating in a DNA test or not.

There are 23 seperate Collins households in Hawkins Co. at this time. 17 of which are listed as non-white. (melungeon families) The ones listed as white are on pg. 52 which are James (sr), James (jr) , and William and also on pg. 59. George and Tandy. These are the family members of Sarah Ann Collins Anderson. So one might assume these families were not considered as melungeons. On page 77 the family of Martin Collins also had white members but I don't know if the entire household was considered white by the census taker. I don't have access to all columns of the census page. In the 1840 census all Collins families were listed as white except for a Nancy Collins on pg. 192.
