 "Mann Research by Grace V. Mann"

AGI-001-19                        Mann Research by Grace V. Mann                                             3A-5-5

This collection contains the genealogy research of the Jerg Bernhart Mohn lineage by Grace Mann Mustain. Mrs. Mustain focused on the descendants of John Wesley Mann and Mary Ellen King, her grandparents. The collection also contains genealogical information on the William Stiles lineage. This information was given to her by Denby Stiles. Mrs. Mustain’s parents were Willis Austin Mann and Estella Ethel Stiles. There is also genealogical information on Rowan and King lineages connected to the Mann/Stiles line. Prior to her death in 1999, Mrs. Mustain gave all her research to her nephew, Larry Mann. Larry contacted Leta Gass, a Mann descendant, to see if she would like to have the research. It is she who has created this finding aid. She also has added some of her Mann research to this collection.
