Biography

Edward was born about 1766. Edward Mann ... He passed away about 1830. [1]

Edward I Mann married Ann Shipman in 1799.[2]

Research Notes

"In 1819 Edward Isaac was described as "all powerful in those remote places [Chaleur Bay], and holds over the Petitioners and other Inhabitants, as well as over the Indians, a tyrannical Dominion." When Monseigneur Plessis visited the Restigouche Indians in 1812, he called Mann an "exploiter" of the Indians, but when Anglican Archdeacon George Mountain visited Chaleur Bay in 1824 he found Mann to be "a decent kind of Man." He says that Mann was "owner & Master of a tending-vessel to the W. Indies etc.," but he also observed that Mann's house was "comfortless" and his farm buildings "make-shift."19 The Manns wielded considerable influence on Chaleur Bay but never became rich. Gaspé offered little opportunity for Loyalists to build a fortune nor was any Gaspé Loyalist ever chosen to serve in either the legislative assembly or the legislative council of the province."[3]

Edwd I Mann, census 1831, Bonaventure. Farmer, with a family of 6: 1 unmarried male 14-18, 1 unmarried male 21-30, one married man 30-60, married woman 14-45, two unmarried women 14-45.[4]
