Biography
David Mann was the son of Revolutionary War veteran Millington Mann and wife Elizabeth (last name unknown). David was born about 1796 in Edgefield County, SC.[1] He married Mary "Polly" Nelson 15 January 1818 in Greene County, Georgia, USA. David Mann ... He passed away after 1880. [2]
After appearing on the 1820 Greene County census, he appeared on the 1824 Morgan County, GA Tax List (neighboring county, where his wife's parent lived).
As of 1830, David appeared on the Walton County census.
In 1835, David Mann "of Muscogee County" gave power of attorney to AB Barker to sell land on his behalf. In November 1840, that tract of land sold in the 3rd District (Lot 351) of Cherokee County (north Georgia), with his brother Henry Mann as a witness.
In 1836, David Mann bought 202.5 acres in Muscogee County, GA. His younger brother Henry Mann's lots were in the same area of District 9, and one of Henry’s lots, number 169, was adjacent to lot number 152 that David Mann had bought in 1836. The Muscogee County Tax List of 1838 shows David Mann’s lot 152 and Henry Mann’s lot 185, both of which connected to lot 169, which was also owned by Henry Mann. Another brother, Jesse Mann, was listed as the next name following David Mann, but not owning any land. By 1845, the tax on Lot 152 was paid by William H Mann, likely a son of David's brother Jesse Mann. (Jesse had married Annie Nelson, the sister of David's wife Mary, on the same day in January 1818).
David and Mary Mann moved to northern Mississippi around the mid-1840s. They were found in Tippah and Pontotoc Counties. David Mann and son Abram appeared on the 1847 Tax List of Tippah County. Later, David moved to nearby Lafayette County.
After the death of his first wife Mary Nelson Mann, David married Martha Ann Holmes on 7/15/1865 in Pontotoc County, MS. David and Martha had a son, Christopher Columbus Mann, plus daughters Mary W, Rhoda Frances, and Willie Una. Also, a daughter appeared on the 1900 census, listed as either Dicey or Dilly, born September 1885, age 14. "Dicey" was an old Mann family name, but the census is very difficult to interpret. After David Mann's death during the 1880s, his widow Martha remarried to James Marion Pilcher, and died some time after the 1900 census of Lafayette County. James M Pilcher was a widower, living with one of his sons by his earlier marriage, on the 1910 Lafayette County, MS census.

Of course if anyone can produce documentary evidence to the contrary that would be great.
"About a year ago, I started seeing the names David Mann and Jesse Mann appear in Ancestry family trees as sons of Thomas and Sarah. While I'm not sure who originally made these connections, I don't believe there is enough evidence to support them. I would say that the available records make it very unlikely that Thomas and Sarah had more than three sons.
The biggest difficulty researching this family has been the lack of records from this time period in SC. Other than the census, the only records I've been able to find are a Rev. War pension application from the 1850s when Sarah was a widow, and a 1792 land record from Abbeville. None of these records name any of Thomas and Sarah's children, but the census gives us some idea.
The 1790 census shows Thomas and Sarah living in Abbeville with one male under 16. The 1800 census shows them also living in Abbeville with 2 males under 10, and 1 male between 10 and 16. The 1810 census shows them living in Pendleton District with 2 males between 10 and 16, and one male between 16 and 26.
All three of these census records are consistent with Thomas and Sarah having one son born in the late 1780s, and two sons born between 1790 and 1800.
By 1830, Pendleton District was split up and became Pickens and Anderson Districts. Thomas and Sarah can be found on the 1830 census in Pickens District, where they lived the rest of their lives. Their 3 known sons (Samuel, Lewis, and Thomas Crawford) had moved out by this point and started their own families. All three of them can also be found living seperately in Pickens District by 1830.
Based on the Abbeville land record and naming traditions, I'm fairly certain Thomas was the son of Samuel Mann and a woman with the maiden name Crawford, who moved to Abbeville in the late 1760s. Thomas' birth year is listed as 1755 in many family trees, but he was more likely born between 1760 - 1765. Thomas had 3 brothers - Gilbert, John, and Robert Morrill Mann. I think most of their descendents moved west.
As for your David Mann - the earliest record I can find is his 1818 marriage record from Greene County, GA, along with the 1820 census also showing him living in Greene County. I see that later census records give his place of birth as SC, but nothing that links him specifically to Abbeville or Pendleton, and no record of his parents' names.
I have to assume that if David was the son of Thomas and Sarah, at the very least there would be a fourth son listed on one of their census records. Since there isn't, and there's no indication that David came from the same district in SC, I don't think it's very likely."
The David Mann in the 1830 US Census, Wilkinson County, Georgia, died in about December of that year and left a will in Wilkinson County. He was my ancestor. He was born 1780-1783 and was older than the David Mann in the Greene County 1820 Census who was born 1795-1804. My ancestor the older David m. Peggy Walker 1809 and Mary Ann McDonald 1824, and is not the David Mann who m. Polly Nelson or moved to Mississippi.
I found the source of the Mary McDonald error. We can all make corrections now.
