General Notes: Husband - William Mann

---

He was but a lad when his parents moved to Montgomery County, New York, where he was reared to manhood. He learned the blacksmith's trade with his father. After his marriage he started in business for himself on a small scale making scythes and axes. In 1829 he moved to Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, where two of his sons, William and Harvey, had preceded him and were engaged in the manufacture of axes. This journey to Pennsylvania was made with a two-horse covered wagon. On the arrival of the family at Bellefonte the father built a shop and began the manufacture of forks, hoes, rakes, etc

He "was a man of strong convictions, but kind-hearted and true. While industrious and a thorough workman, he was not a money-getter. He was a man of a high sense of honor, and had great antipathy for all forms of deception and untruthfulness. He was methodical in whatever he did and most thorough, and left as a legacy to his children a good name, and thorough schooling in his trade, which made them riches and renown throughout the country. He took great care of his health, and as a result sickness was almost unknown to him until extreme old age."
