Matilda Mann is my 3rd Great Grand Aunt. She is the sister of my 3rd Great Grandmother, Louisa Marie Mann.
Matilda was born about 1837 in Tennessee. Her parents are William Mann and Lucinda McKinney.
The first record found for Matilda Mann is the 1850 Federal Census. She is living in District 35, Madison County, Alabama with her parents and siblings. Matilda is 13 years old in this census but the census indicates that she has not attended school within the last year. Her older siblings have attended school. It is unknown why Matilda did not.
A marriage record can be found in Madison County dated 2 February 1855 for Matilda Mann. It is believed that this record is for this Matilda. She marries a James Gibson.
The next record found for Matilda is the 1860 Federal Census in Madison County, Alabama. This census finds Matilda married to James Gibson with two young children, George and Mary. Matilda is living two houses away from her parents, William and Lucinda, next door to her sister and her husband, William Gibson and Ann Mann, next door to her grandparents, Thomas and Jane McKinney. Her husband's profession is a fisherman. There is no value noted for real estate or personal property. It is not noted that Matilda cannot read or write, so we can assume that she can so she must have went to school after the age of 13.
The 1870 Federal Census still finds the family living in Madison County, Alabama. They are still living next door to her sister, Ann, and her husband William Gibson. They now have five children living at home. James' profession has changed from fisherman to farmer.
The last record found for Matilda finds the family living in Union, Lee County, Arkansas. This is the 1880 Federal Census. The family is still farming.
It is unknown when or where Matilda passes away.
Matilda Mann and James Gibson had the following children:
1. Mary Gibson - born about 1856 in Madison County, Alabama. Death unknown (after 1870). Marriage unknown.
2. George Gibson - born about 1859 in Madison County, Alabama. Death unknown (after 1870). Marriage unknown.

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.
The following children were born to Ann M Mann and William Gibson:
1. Frances Gibson - born July 1857 in Madison County, Alabama. Died 17 July 1939 in Brownsboro, Madison County, Alabama. Married James Tabor.
2. Martha Gibson - born March 1859 in Madison County, Alabama. Died after 1930. Marriage unknown.
3. Preston Samuels Gibson - born about 1861 in Madison County, Alabama. Died after 1880. Married Elizabeth Chesterson.
4. Margaret Matilda Gibson - born August 1863 in Madison County, Alabama. Died 22 October 1933 in Huntsville, Madison County, Alabama. Married Benjamin Franklin Quinn.
5. Mary "Mollie" Gibson - born May 1864 in Madison County, Alabama. Died 15 September 1942 in Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. Married (1st) George Vann. Married (2nd) L.A.B. Moss.

8. Annie Lee Gibson - born April 1877 in Madison County, Alabama. Died 4 September 1953 in Gadsden, Etowah County, Alabama. Married Lemuel Turner Corum.
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.

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.

Thomas Mann
Thomas Mann is my 3rd Great Grand Uncle, brother of my 3rd Great Grandmother, Louisa Marie Mann. Thomas is the eldest son of William Mann and Lucinda McKinney.
The first record is believed to be the 1840 Federal Census in Madison County, Alabama. The names of children were not listed but he is believed to be the only male child living in the home.
The next record is the 1850 Federal Census. Thomas is living at home in District 35, Madison County, Alabama. His profession is listed as farmer and his birth state is listed as Tennessee.
Thomas marries Matilda Ann Gibson 2 July 1855. Thomas would have been around 25 years old at the time of this marriage. The couple is found in the 1860 Federal Census living in the Southeastern Division, Madison County, Alabama. They are living with Matilda's parents, Thomas Phelps Gibson and Elizabeth Lee. Thomas' profession is now listed as fisherman, that is also the profession of his new father in law, Thomas Gibson. The census lists that he has personal property valued at $100. Thomas and Matilda have two children living in 1860, John and Davis.
By the 1870 Federal Census Thomas must have given up on fishing as a profession because his profession is now listed at a farmer. They are living in Township 6, Range 1, District 50, Madison County, Alabama. It appears that they are living with Thomas' mother, Lucinda Mann, even though Thomas is listed as the head of household. This is assumed because it is next Lucinda's name where the value of the property is listed, that value was $300 in 1870. Thomas' sister Mary is also living there. His mother in law, Elizabeth Gibson is also living here, now a widow. Thomas most likely moved home to manage the farm after his father's death around the year 1870. He now has three children, John, Davis and William. Also living with the family is nine years old John Cloud. It is not known which Cloud family he fits in but he is most likely related somehow. Thomas sister, Louisa, had married James Madison Cloud. Louisa had passed away in 1853 - could this John Cloud be Louisa's son?
The last record found for Thomas Mann is the 1880 Federal Census. He is living in Beat 19, District 228, Madison County, Alabama. In this census he is listed ad T M Mann. Also living there are his wife, shown as M A Mann, and two sons; D P (Davis Prescott) and W T (William). It is believed the family living next door, head being J A Mann, is his eldest son John. Thomas' profession is again listed as farmer.
It is not known when Thomas passes away. His widow is found in the 1900 Federal Census so we do know that he does pass away prior to 1900.
Thomas Mann and Matilda Ann Gibson has the following children:
1. John A Mann - born about 1858 in Madison County, Alabama. Death unknown. Married someone with the initials M F - last name unknown.
2. Davis Prescott Mann - born July 1859 in Madison County, Alabama. Died in 1914 in Madison County, Alabama. Married Matilda Hornbuckle.
3. William T Mann - born about 1866 in Madison County, Alabama. Death unknown. Believed to have married Mary Clark.
The first record is believed to be the 1840 Federal Census in Madison County, Alabama. The names of children were not listed but he is believed to be the only male child living in the home.
The next record is the 1850 Federal Census. Thomas is living at home in District 35, Madison County, Alabama. His profession is listed as farmer and his birth state is listed as Tennessee.

Jacob Mitchell Balderston
Jacob Mitchell Balderston is the brother of my wife's 2nd Great Grandfather, or her 2nd Great Grand Uncle.
Jacob is the eldest child of Stephen Balderston and his first wife, Jane Squibb.
Jacob was born 16 Jan 1842 in Colerain, Belmont County, Ohio.
The first record found for Jacob is the 1850 Federal Census. He is living with his parents in Colerain, Belmont County, Ohio, his age is 8. Jacob is noted as having attended school within the last year. Jacob's mother, Jane Squibb, died in 1859. I cannot find Jacob in the 1860 Federal Census. There is an account of him as given in the Balderston Family History that I referenced in the blog for Jacob's father, Stephen Balderston. As this is a copyrighted work I cannot transcribe the information here. But, I can recap it.
It describes that Jacob moved west to Illinois where he attended the Academy of Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington. While there he joined the Northern Army in the Civil War, becoming captain of Company C, 14th Illinois Volunteer Calvary. After serving he went back to Illinois and studied law and was also a teacher where he met his wife, Jenny May Boyle. Jacob went to become a Judge in Wichita, Kansas.
Jacob can be found in the 1870 Federal Census as a boarder in Bloomington, McLean County, Illinois. His profession is listed as lawyer. Jacob is still single in the next Federal Census in 1880. This census finds him living alone in District 214, Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. Jacob is again still single in the 1885 Kansas State Census. He is still residing in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.
The following is an article found in the Wichita Daily Eagle newspaper in 1884 regarding Jacob Balderston. The article suggest that Jake Balderston should run for county attorney, which he did get.
Jacob married Jenny Boyle 18 June 1885 in Wichita, Kansas. Below is the newspaper announcement as found int he Wichita Daily Eagle.

I will post three more articles regarding Judge Jacob 'Jake' Mitchell Balderston below. I should note that there are literally dozens of articles that can be found in the old Wichita Eagle newspapers. If anyone would like search for more articles they can find this newspaper online, and searching it is free, at Library of Congress. Be sure to search using Jake as well as Jacob and it was also common for the 'T' in Balderston to be left out.
As you can see Jacob Balderston was quite an accomplished man in his day. The next record found for Jacob is the 1900 Federal Census. He has been married now for fifteen years and has four children living at home. His profession is still listed as lawyer. The family is still residing in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas. This same family is still found intact in the 1905 Kansas State Census in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.
Jacob Mitchell Balderston dies 24 Feb 1909 in Wichita. I don't have a copy of the actual article but the transcription is below. Jacob is buried in the Highland Cemetery in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas.

Stephen Balderston
Stephen Balderston is the 3rd Great Grandfather of my wife.
Stephen was born in Colerain, Belmont County, Ohio on 7 Dec 1818. He is the son of Jonathan Balderston and Elizabeth Babb.
There is a ton of research already done on the Balderston line. I have a copy of the Balderston Family History, written by Marion Balderston and Hortense B. C. Gibson. The copy I have was copyrighted in 1973 and carries the catalog number of 73-91161 in the Library of Congress. The first Balderston (assumed) to come to America was John Balderston in 1727, he would be the 6th Great Grandfather of my wife. Here is an account as described by another researcher found here. John apparently married into the Quaker faith when he married Hannah Cooper. They settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. John passed away in 1778 and Hannah in 1793. John and Hannah had eleven children - these children were referenced in the Last Will of a cousin of John's, Bartholomew Balderston, as he left them 50 English dollars (pounds) each.
One of the sons of John and Hannah was Mordecai Balderston, the 5th Great Grandfather of my wife. Mordecai married Deborah Michener 11 Feb 1778. The same researcher that wrote about John's arrival in America has some additional information found here. Mordecai was a lieutenant in the Revolutionary War under Captain Paul Kester, along with two of his brothers. There are a few genealogy books written on the Michener lines that do reference this Balderston line. In these books Balderston is spelled without the T - at some point some of Mordecai's children dropped the T from their name. So there are many descendant's today that go by Balderson - even though they come from the same line.
Mordecai and Deborah has a son, Jonathan Balderston, my wife's 4th Great Grandfather, on 28 Mar 1797 in Colerain, Belmont County, Ohio. Mordecai passed away in 1820 in Mount Pleasant, Ohio and Deborah passes away 8 years later in 1828 also in Ohio. Jonathan marries Elizabeth Babb and they have their eldest son, Stephen Balderston, our subject.
The first record we find for Stephen is in the Ohio Marriages 1800 - 1958. Stephen marries Jane Squibb on 8 April 1841 in Belmont County, Ohio.
The next record we find for Stephen is the 1850 Federal Census. He is found in the Colerain Township, Belmont County, Illinois. His profession is listed as a carpenter. Along with his wife Jane there are two children living at home. One is Jacob, age 8, and the other is William O, age 1 month. It is believed that Stephen and Jane had one other child prior to 1850, John Balderston. John is believed to have died in 1848, age 5.
I am unable to locate Stephen in the 1860 Federal Census. Prior to 1860 Stephen and Jane have two additional children, Elizabeth Ella and Mary Anna Balderston. Jane passes away 14 Feb 1859 in Pennsylvania. Stephen remarries Mary Brenn 28 Mar 1860 in Magnolia, Putnam County, Illinois. The next record found for Stephen is the 1865 Illinois State Census. They are living in Magnolia. There are 6 children living at home, 3 boys and 3 girls. Four of these children are from his first wife Jane. They are Jacob, William, Ella and Mary. Two additional children from his second wife Mary are also here, Joseph and Jenia. These are assumptions as no names, other then head of household, were in the 1865. There were 4 females and 4 males living at that time.
The family is still living in Magnolia, Putnam County, Illinois in the next Federal Census of 1870. The only children left living at home are Joseph, age 9, and Anne, age 2. Stephen's occupation is listed a laborer. He does not own his land or no value is placed on it in the census. His personal belonging's are valued at $100.
Our next record, the 1880 Federal Census, finds the family living in Greenbush Township, Putnam County, Illinois. Five children are living at home, Anne, from the last census, and new additions, Charles, Frank, Albert and Rose. Stephen's occupation is again a carpenter.
Although I cannot locate any pictures of Stephen Balderston I did find one of his brother Joseph, shown below. One would assume he looked similar to his brother.
BALDERSTON NAME MEANING
English: habitational name from either of two places in Lancashire called Balderston(e), deriving their names from the genitive case of the Old English personal name Baldhere (composed of the elementsbald ‘bold’, ‘brave’ + here ‘army’) + Old English tun‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’.Stephen was born in Colerain, Belmont County, Ohio on 7 Dec 1818.

William Mann
William Mann is my 4th Great Grandfather.
The first record found for William Mann is the 1840 Federal Census taken in Madison County, Alabama. In this record we find one male age 10 to 14 (Thomas Mann), three females age 5 to 9 (Sarah, Ann and Matilda), one female age 10 to 14 (Louisa Marie Mann), one female age 30 to 39 (wife, Lucinda McKinney) and one male age 50 to 59 (William). It is noted that two people are employed in agriculture -presumably William and Thomas. The family does not have any slaves living with them.
The next record is the 1850 Federal Census taken again in Madison County, Alabama. From this record we learn that William was born in Georgia. His wife, Lucinda, was born in Tennessee. William and Lucinda's first 4 children listed here were all born in Tennessee (Thomas, Sarah, Matilda and Ann). The youngest four were all born in Alabama. So from that we can tell that it was sometime between 1837 and 1840 that the family moved from Tennessee to Alabama. William and his eldest son, Thomas, are both farming. William owns real estate valued at $200 - so we can also assume he was a land owner. There is 10 year old boy named John Mann living with him in 1850 - it is assumed that this is a nephew because this young boy is listed separately from the rest of the family (or at least out of order). His eldest daugther, Louisa Marie Mann, is living next door married to James Cloud.
We still find William and Lucinda living in Madison County in the 1860 Federal Census. Most children have moved on. Still living at home are Mary Mann and William Mann. There is also a Linda Camard (unsure of the spelling). This could possibly be his daughter as the age fits for the daughter named Lucly in the previous census. I assume this daughter's name if some sort of variation of Lucinda - the writing is hard to read. This person also had a daughter, Netta age 4, living with them. William's real estate is valued at $350 and his personal estate is valued at $300. He is still farming.
William dies sometime before 1870 (his wife Lucinda is listed as a widow in 1870).
William Mann and Lucinda McKinney had the following children:
1. Louisa Marie Mann - born 18 May 1829 in Tennessee. Died 6 Aug 1853. Married James Madison Cloud.
2. Thomas Mann - born about 1831 in Tennessee. Death unknown. Married Matilda Ann Gibson.
3. Sarah J Mann - born about 1833 in Tennessee. Death unknown. Marriage unknown.
4. Ann M Mann - born about 1836 in Tennessee. Death unknown. Married William Gibson.
5. Matilda Mann - born about 1837 in Tennessee. Death unknown. Married James Gibson.
6. Lucinda (Lucy, Lucly?) Mann - born about 1840 in Alabama. Death unknown. Marriage unknown.
7. Mary E Mann - born July 1845 in Alabama. Died between 1900 and 1910. Married Isaac Rice.
8. William Mann - born 1 May 1847 in Alabama. Died 15 March 1919 in Gibson County, Tennessee. Married Julia E Stewart.
9. Edy C Mann - born about 1849 in Alabama. Death unknown.
It is not known where William Mann is buried but it assumed that he is buried somewhere in New Hope, Madison County, Alabama.
