JACKSON AND EMILY MCMANUS OF TALBOT CO., GA

Jackson McMANUS (c 1818 GA – ), s/o Robert H. and Mary “Polly” (CANE) McMANUS, is in 1840 Talbot Co., GA near his mother Mary, with ch of ages that fit with dau, Mary and son, Robert or William. On 27 Dec 1835 in Talbot County, Jackson married Emily MANES (c 1817 GA - ) likely the dau of Benjamin and Martha MANES.
