Ann M Mann

Ann M Mann is my 3rd Great Grand Aunt.  Her sister, Louisa Marie Mann, is my 3rd Great Grandmother.

Ann was born about 1836 in Tennessee.  She is the daughter of William Mann and Lucinda McKinney.

The first record found for Ann Mann is presumably the 1840 Federal Census.  This census did not list the names of children so we can assume she is one of the female children listed under William Mann.  They are living in Madison County, Alabama.

The next record is the 1850 Federal Census.  This record indicates that Ann has attended school within that year.  The family is again found living in Madison County, Alabama.  A marriage record for Ann can be found on the Madison County website, http://madisoncountyal.gov/mcrc/index.shtml . I don't have a copy of the record but it appears one could order a copy here.  She is married 6 August 1855 in Madison County, Alabama to William Gibson.

The next federal census of 1860 finds Ann and her new husband, William, living next door to her parents.  Her husband's profession is a fisherman.  He could have been fishing at the Madison County Lake which is over 100 acres big.  There are also a few rivers in the area.  They have two young daughters in 1860; Frances and Martha.

The 1870 Federal Census finds the family in the same location.  William is still a fisherman by trade.  The family has grown; there are three additional children.  They are Preston, Margaret and Mary.  They are surrounded by family living next door to some McKinney cousins and William's brother, James.

Only one more record is found for Ann.  That is the 1880 Federal Census.  The family has turned from fishing to farming at this time yet still reside in the same general area of Madison County, Alabama.  Three more children are born to Ann and William; Sarah, J.W. and A.L.

It is not known when Ann passed away or where she is buried.
