(A512) HOWARD/MANN - Your Jason MANN of Wrentham. Mass., may relate to a Jason⁵MAN, son of John⁴ (Nathaniel³, Samuel², William¹) & Mahitabel MAN, m. 10 Oct. 1744. John b. 12 Aug. 1707. Ch,: John⁵1745/6; Esther; Beriah; Jason; and Rowland.  From Mann Memorial, Gen. of the Desc. of Richard Man of Scituate, Mass. (1884), NEHGS Loan.

(AS 12) Jason MANN lived on a property in Plainville, Mass., from 1766 until his d. in 1816.  Sylvia, as wid. stayed on longer.  As a member of the local Hist. Commission, I became involved in documenting the house which now stands where their house stood, P. 20 of Man Memorial (1884) says that Jason was the son of John & Mehitable.  The VR., however, show that Mehitable d. 1753, and Jason (b. 1760) was son of John & Mary.  Although no m. rec. for John & Mary shows in Wrentham records, it is poss. that the widower (age 46) m. the much younger Mary (1731-1828) and sired 4 more ch. by her.  Son’s name Rowland is unique in Wrentham history. Sylvia’s par.?

(A512) Sylvia (HOWARD) MANN’s d. rec. in Wrentham. Mass., 4 July 1861, gives her father’s name as “Silas MANN, of Mendon” - an obvious clerical error as to surname.  Wrentham m. rec. show one Silas HOWARD m. Susanna FORCE 1767.  Sylvia (b. 1769) could have been a ch. of that m. Susanna FORCE grew up on a farm very near the farm bought by John MANN in 1766 where Jason MANN lived for most of his life.  Jason MANN (1760-1816) is the son of John MAN/MANN & his 2nd w. Mary d. 1828.  He is the same Jason wrongly ascribed to Mahitabel in Mann Memorial (1884).
