Today I received the results from the 33-marker paternal lineage test
we requested from
ancestry.com for my father, Philip Rogers Mann. His
markers, all 33, are a perfect match with Amy Mann Micthell's father,
Jonathan Herman Mann. Jonathan's great-grandfather was Madison Mann
(son of Daniel); my father's was John Mann (son of Martin). Our own
research had indicated that Madison and John were first cousins.
These DNA results corroborate the close kinship we concluded.
Specifically, the results from
ancestry.com are summarized by them as
follows for my father and Amy's father:
Haplogroup: R1b ("The Artisans")
Ancestor Match: Within 3 generations, approx 75 years ago
Others of you out there with male Manns in your immediate family may
want to participate in this DNA investigation, particularly those of
you in collateral line to Martin and Daniel Mann (Silas and Stephen)
or in the other Mann lines out of Northampton County, NC. Couldn't
hurt to have a couple more from Daniel's line as well, perhaps someone
in Henry M.'s line in the Indiana area or Robert N.'s line from the
Charlotte area or James Anderson's line from Florida. Let me know if
you want to take a DNA test...it's relatively inexpensive and it's an
easy test...no pain, no blood. I hope you will.
