Son of Arthur Mann and Nancy Banks Thompson.

Removed from Virginia to Clark County, IL; was married there; thence to Buchanan Co., MO (1846).

" In 1849 Arthur A. Mann left his family in Missouri and traveled overland to California to work in the El Dorado County gold mines for a year or more. He returned via Isthmus of Panama, moved his family to Pottawattamie County, Iowa, and farmed until 1860. Then he took his family by wagon train to California, he was chosen captain of the train. On the plains, when one of the oxen died, he was compelled to substitute a milk cow belonging to his wife, Winnie. This, according to her almost broke her heart.---They arrived in Chico, California, on 15 September 1860. They lived for a time at the site of the John Crouch place, then settled a mile west of Durham. In the short time before his early death on 22 October 1862, he became acquainted with many pioneers including John Bidwell, founder of Chico. Arthur was the eleventh burial in the Chico Cemetery.---The George Gotlieb Darge family arrived in the fall of 1862. Three of the Darge children married three of the Mann children. Their children were double cousins to each other."

"According to Eva Alice Mann Tull, Arthur Mann died of a cancer on the lip. This information was taken from a compilation presented at the Mann family reunion in June 1976 by Fern Repetti." [1]
