Comments on some of the names mentioned:
- Henry Mann, born about 1801, was the son of William Mann and the nephew of Roland Mann. Not our Mann family
- Jeptha Holt, son of George A. Holt
- Barzilla Mims, married to Willey Womble. Willey was the granddaughter of Andrew Peddy
- Jeremiah Mann was the son of Silas Mann and the grandson of Richard Mann
- Anderson Holt was the son of George A. Holt
- Henderson Holt was the son of Squire Holt, and grandson of Richard Holt II
- Richard & James Holt were the sons of Richard Holt II
- Gaston Womack was the husband of Jane Holt, youngest child of George A. Holt
- Ezra Holleman was the husband of Rebecca Womble. Rebecca was a sister of Willey Womble. Ezra was the son of Jesse Holleman.
- Jordan and Ezra Holleman were 1st cousins
- David Mims' 2nd wife was Milbury Johns[t]on. Milbury was the daughter of Richard & Patience Mann Johnston. David's third wife was Bethany Mann, sister of John & Jesse Mann
- Richard Cotten married Mary Ann Holleman, the younger sister of Malinda Jones Holleman Holt. Malinda was the wife of Anderson Holt
- Jesse and John Mann were brothers and the sons of Martin Mann. This record makes me think that Jesse Mann was a little older than had previously been estimated by most people. The most common estimate for his birth year is 1829, but I think you had to be 18 to be called upon for county road work. Believe that based on this record that 1827/28 would be a better estimate of his birth year.
- Rigdon & Thomas Holt were brothers and the sons of Richard Holt II
- Jurors T. C. Mann & John Mann were part of the Roland Mann family and not our Mann family; same with Henry Mann
- Andrew Peddy, Revolutionary War Veteran, died in June 1846. He had a son named Andrew Peddy and Jeptha Holt was his son-in-law
- John J. Mann was the son of Roland Mann. John W. Mann was either the son of John J. Mann or Roland Taylor Mann. Roland Taylor was the son of Roland Mann. None of these men are part of our Mann family
- Squire Holt was the oldest son of Richard Holt II
- Fletcher Mann was the son of John J. Mann (John Jones Mann)
- John Johns[t]on was either the son of Charles and Prudence Mann Johnston or the son of John & Sarah Stephens Johnston. Charles and this older John were half-brothers, John being the elder brother. I suspect that this John that was mentioned in the 1846 minutes is the son of Charles & Prudence. I bet this is where he was selling his land before moving to Mississippi within a year.
- George Holt was the son of Richard Holt II
- Johnson Olive was the grandson or John & Sarah Stephens Johnston

been able to piece together many of the Holt connections but not the
Manns or Johns[t]ons. Who were the parents of Charles and John
Johns[t]on and were there other siblings? Do you know where this
family came from?
I am still working on the Court minutes but have been sidetracked by
DeedMapper and have been busy entering Burns grants. I do have a few
more notes to post and am not including the years that are transcribed
in the NCGS Journals.
