Missouri Marriage Record: Name: Elizabeth Linville Marriage Date: 5 Jun 1831 Marriage County: Ray Spouse Name: Jesse Mann Jr THE MANN FAMILY, FIRST SETTLERS IN CALDWELL COUNTY IN KINGSTON TOWNSHIP: Narrator: William Henry, 86 It is strange that a person, still in fine mind and memory, is yet alive who knew the first permanent settler in Caldwell county. William (Bill) Henry knew Jesse M. Mann who was the first settler who come in the boundaries of Caldwell county and stayed here. To be sure, Jesse Mann, father of Jesse M. Mann, had come earlier, by a few months, in spring of 1831, but he went back to Ray county in the summer of 1832, when the Black Hawk War scare was on and never returned. He lived one half mile N. E. of the Kingston public square. He was born in Prince George Co. Va. 176 5, married Nancy White of Ga. 1800, and had 14 children, some of whom came with him. They first moved to Tenn., then to Howard co. Mo. then to Ray co. 1820, the to Caldwell co. 1831, then back to Ray 1832 where he died 1845 and is buried in Ray county. This family date came from the Aubrey family. His son Jesse M. Mann, whom the narrator knew personally many years, settled on Log creek half mile e ast of the future Kingston. He did not mind the pioneer surroundings, for his father had trained his children to rough it, by frequent moves, always into backwoods country. It was the kind of life the y knew. It was while old Jesse Mann was yet in Caldwell county that his daughter Judith (or Julia as sometimes written) was married to Hardin Stone, a well known pioneer of Daviess co, where heand fa mily were early millers. This "Aunt" Judith Sann? Stone died at her home in Gallatin 1900. She was born in Tennessee, where her father, Jesse Mann, was living on his western trek. It is a typical stor y of how people moved slowly into the west. She often told people who are yet alive of her marriage in the backwoods of Caldwell co., the first marriage in its bounds; she spoke of her white jaconet d ress which her father had got, she believed from Lexington. Jesse M. Mann, her brother, did not stay so very long in the Kingston township homestead, for we find him as one of the prosperousfarmers n ear Polo, in Lincoln Township in the seventies, and that is where William Henry knew the family, for that was the Henry township. Mr. Henry tells a story about Jesse M. Mann. It was the grasshopper ye ar 1875, when crops were pretty rotten, and it looked as if feed would be high. Mr. Mann saw a chance to make some money. So he bought up all the corn he could get to put it in granaries and cribs and sell it high. But it all spoiled and he lost heavily by his deal. Mr. Jesse M. Mann married Elizabeth Linville, a family well known in south Caldwell county and Ray county. She was a sister to Thomas and Dave Linville, old settlers in Ray. They had a daughter, Eveline, who married Thomas J. Aubrey, who died in Texas in the Civil War, and the Aubrey family came back to the Mann community near Polo , where their son Ben Aubrey became a successful banker. Jesse M. Mann died 1881 and his wife some years later. Of course, Jesse M. Mann had whiskers, after the style of his time, and his wife, as Mr. Henry recalls, wore her hair on the top of her head and parted, and waved. Interview 1934. Interviewer's note - The old millstone from the Hardin Stone mill rests in Hamilton on the grounds of Hamilt on Library. Photos of Jesse M. Mann and wife are to be seen in old copies of 1875 atlas of Caldwell county.
