I'll check with my client to be sure she has no objections to sharing the
rest of the data. She is looking for proof that RTM, Jr had James,
Richard (b. 1804 - d. 1838) and Sophia. All three apppear in
guardianship records, but without mention of the father or mother!
Isn't this fun!!!
James Mankin - age 20 in Orphans Court Guardian Docket - April Court
1821. This is probably the James Mankin who married daughters of
Alexander Dent *8, and who appears in the 1850 cnesus of Washington DC.
Richard Mankin - age 18 on 25 March 1822. The Charles County Guardian
Docket shows a receipt was filed on 19 May 1825 which released his
guardian of his responsibilities. Richard Mankin's obituary in the
Alexandria (VA) Gazette gives the date of death as 9 September 1838,
"leaving a disconsolate wife and two small children" *9 A tombstone was
recorded in Charles County, MD for Richard Mankin with birth date 25
Mar.1804, death date 9 Sept 1838. The estate was administered by Mary
Ann Mankin.
Sophia Mankin - age 16 on 16 Nov. 1823. She was a ward of Malachi Robey
who was noted in the Court records as "deceased". Bond and security was
posted on 20 Feb. 1822 by Alexander Matthews and Samuel M. Herbert but no
further accounts have been found. Sophia Mankin married William Marshall
in Washington, DC 21 August 1827. She died 1 July 1880. Documentary
proof of her relationship to these siblings and parents is sought.

John..... As you commented once before, it is involving quite a bit of picky detective work! If this death date is
correct, my Martha was married and had children by then and hopefully would be listed in an obit....

John I went and looked up all the Quaker records in Hinshaw and the Indiana records to create those charts.
NOTE: I learned afterwards about the Quaker dating system and I need
to go back and fix the dates before 1752, the rest are correct.

There was also a John Mankin " of Durham " who did not serve in the
Revolutionary War, but made a deposition that he could not due to family
obligations. There were two John Mankin men in Chas. Co. at the time.
Of course, the William listed in the 1790 census is called Sr., so there
must have been a Jr. somewhere.
If you could give me a citation on the sale of the Susannah Maynor/James
Mankin land, I might be able to determine where it was located. And I'll
try to figure out where District 7 was. The numbers and lines of the
districts changed over time, so it would help to know when the reference
to District 7 occurs.
I'm not an expert on the Mankin family - although I've collected a fair
amount of iinfo on the family in the course of finding the evidence for
Mrs. Tucker - but I'm fairly familiar with Charles Co. records and the
families and locations there.
There are indexes which help to locate the patents ( land records) which
define the early tracts. Most of the early tracts were named and those
names often survive to the present. That enables one to trace
properties and families rather well.
Let me know what information you have and what will help you, and I'll
see what I can find.

What a beautiful family tree you have shared with us all. I found you
through the LDS http://www.Familysearch.org Unfortunately, I cannot find my
John R.W. Mankin in this tree. He was born in MD 1825 as were his parents.
He came to DC about 1860 and was a Commissions Merchant. He married Lucinda
Blackistone in St. Mary's Co., MD on 1 June 1854. John died Oct. 22, 1882 in
DC where he lived at 522 7th St. SW. He was 57. They took him via the
steamer "Arrowroot" to St. Mary's Co. and buried him next to his wife at All
Saints Episc.Church in what is called "Avenue" Md. today. Their tombstone is
there. This information is from his DC death certificate #34938 and
"Marriages & Deaths, St. Mary's Co. 1634-1900" by Margaret Fresco. If you
have him in your data base, I would love to know who his parents were.
Thanks for any help,

have added to the material researched and believe I can prove the family
line. I am disappointed to see that the web site has not been updated at
all during the year 2000, and that the information I supplied has not be
posted. Obviously someone was glad of the information I sent as I got a
message of appreciation about the James Mankin who married the Dent

Do you plan to keep the Mankin site up and running and current?

able to help. "Lick" does not sound like a Charles Co. term, but there
are two Cedar Points in Chas. Co - Upper and Lower - both adjacent to the
Potomac River. If you are concerned with the one near Durham Church,
then you want to look for the Nanjemoy Creek. Blossom Point is at the

Hello - and thanks for your reply.
You have been checking up on me! But, true, I'm in Maryland and I
volunteer and do research at MSA. Recently I have been doing research on
the Mankin family for a client in FL who wants to prove that Sophia
Mankin was a daughter of Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. The circumstantial
evidence is there - but not the document that gives the clear "proof".
I'd feel that I should get her OK before sending you the material I've
collected on the RTM line. However, I will tell you that RTM, Sr. had a
wife Priscilla, and, in addition to RTM, Jr. and Margaret who married
Baruch Robey, had other children - Tubman, Ann Wood who married Matthew
Boswell and Jane who married Daniel Carrington and had daus. Jane and Ann
Carrington. All are named in the distribution of the estate of RTM, Sr.
(Chas. Co. Inventories 1802-1808 pg. 407) or in subsequent documents which
prove the relationships.
Kepp in touch.

Following is data for the Mankin website.
Richard Tubman Mankin, Sr. was deceased by Nov. 1804 when his widow
posted bond in Charles County, MD for the administration of his estate.
*1 Distribution was made 12 May 1807 to the widow Priscilla and to the
following children:
*2 Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr., who was also an administrator of the estate.
Tubman Mankin Margaret, wife of Baruch Robey Ann Wood, wife of Matthew Boswell
and to Jane and Ann Carrington, daughters of a deceased daughter, Jane,
whose husband was Daniel Carrington. Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. had a wife Mary indentified by her tombstone
at St. Paul's Piney Church which indicates she died 21 March 1809, age 24.
When Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. died in 1815 Benedicta Mankin declined to
administer the estate and requested that letters be granted to Samuel
Chapman. *3 Benedicta Mankin is not further identified so it is not clear whether she was
a second wife or an adult daughter. Chapman posted bond on 1 Nov. 1815.
*4 An inventory of the estate was taken 9 Jan. 1816 *5 but an account was not rendered until 22 Mar 1820. *6 At
that time there was no balance to distribute to the heirs. Charles County Orphans Court Proceedings show that
Guardian Bonds were posted by Malachi Robey
as guardian to Sophia Mankin and James Mankin whild Daniel Carrington was
appointed guardian to Richard Mankin. *7 These children are believed to
be the offspring of Richard Tubman Mankin, Jr. and his wife Mary.
Further documentation is sought.

Hello Michael!
First of all --you may get two copies of this letter! I'm sending a copy of
this to Millie Bortin's address(which appeared on my email from you) and a
copy to your address at the Mankin website, so you may get a duplicate.
I checked out your Mankin website........what an impressive piece of work!!!
I'll have to go back to it and read the family's history you have posted
there. Looks very interesting. I do think I am related to you through
Margaret Mankin. Any clue as to where the name Tubman fits in?
You asked if I knew of anymore info on Richard T. Mankin's family. No,
sorry I only have what a Roby relative in Michigan sent to me on my
ancestor, Richard T. Mankin ROBEY, grandson of Richard T. Mankin. My 4th
great grandfather, Richard T. Mankin Robey, aka Mankin Robey, b. Dec. 31,
1789 was son of Baruch/Barrick B. Robey and Margaret Mankin, b. January
1744/45. Baruch Benoni Robey married Margaret Mankin. Did you say that she
was daughter of Richard Tubman Mankin??? Did she also have a brother of the
same name? We never got much further back than Margaret and Baruch's family.
Their children were: Richard T.M. Robey,b. 1789; John A.B. Robey, b. Abt.
1800; Baruch, b. unknown date; Elias, b. unknown date; Meicajah Roby, b.
unknown; Jane, b. unknown; Elnor, b. unknown.
I believe Baruch Robey, my 4th gr. uncle, is buried in the Robey Cemetery
north of Leesville, Ohio, near the present Atwood Lake area. Most of my
relatives seem to be concentrated in this area of Carroll and Tuscarawas
County, Ohio. I have not visited this Robey cemetery--- but have seen a
listing for it. A lot of the Robey/Roby families are buried in Roxford
Church cemetery, also.
My gggg.grandfather, R.T. Mankin Robey, a veteran of the War of 1812, is
buried with his wife Assenath(Seny) Roby in Leesville Cemetery. My Roby
cousin and I are trying to find out how to get a plaque put in for Mankin's
grave as his headstone is broken and worn off and is barely legible at all.
Mankin and Seny were 3rd cousins who married, I believe. The common
ancestor they had was John Robey who married (1) unknown ? in 1673 and then
married (2) Sarah Hines Luckett, in 1684. Mankin descended from John
Robey's 1st marriage and Seny from his 2nd marriage. I have photos of the
gravemarkers if you're interested. May have some Mankins, also. I will
have to check.
Baruch B. Robey's parents were Sarah Dement and Alexander Robey, Sr. Sarah
may have been married previously and took the name Dement, not sure. As far
as I can tell, after corresponding with some Dement "cousins" ---apparently
the name Benoni followed through their ancestry.....I still need to verify
some of this.
If you have any copies of death certificates, marriages, or photos, would
love to have copies if you wouldn't mind sending them to me. I will be glad
to reimburse you for the copies and postage. You could also email them to
me if you'd rather.
Thank you for replying and I will look forward to hearing from you again.
Nice work on the website!!

Woud you like some data from down the line this way IE: Jasper down to
me? I only know his parents Samuel and Docia(Dorcia) and their kids, but
there seems to be a lack of info on Jasper except where he died, Globe
AZ, I have some info, but not if he had other kids other than my G
grandfather HARDY. I would be happy to help, but don't want our current
generation on-line just yet. I live in Las Vegas with my Mom and Step dad
( Mom is an only child on the Mankins side) I'm a boomarang kid! My son
is grown now, so I really am enjoying looking for realatives and my
family history, having just gotten a computer has really helped my
searching.
I am really looking for a connection with the Cherokee side, I have a
record from the LDS church that says Peter Mankins born in the cherokee
nation 1814 but doesn't explain anything further than just that. I don't
know anything about a Legendary Peter, I do know there are a lot of
Peter's in my line from him, but I have no history on him, Other than
just Birthdates and family members, I would love to know why he was
incredible. If you have the info and the time please let me know.
The document you sent appears blank, but thanks :) for sending it, A
new picture would be great, hope you get the time to go this summer. I
found a land document for Samuel I'll attach for you signed by President
Martin Van Buren.
Your Web site is so fantastic, you are a great man to do this for the

Please keep in touch, If I can help let me know. I passed your web site

Love your web page!! (I'm starting to study web foundations then web design)
My family is through Tubmann, down to Stephen B's daughter Elizabeth Marilda
b.18 Oct 1848 in Tenn(?). She married John Milton Lancaster, my great grand
father.
I believe there is a typo (1 JOHANNES (JOHN) MANKIN of KIRBY SIGSTON,
Yorkshire. He was born about 1651 A.D. He married circa 1586 and is
mentioned in 1589. He had probably the following issue:) He couldn't have
been born 1651 and married 1586. Maybe a transposition and should be 1561?
1-1 Johannis (John) b. 1587
1-2 Jacobus (Jacob) b. 1591
How do we prove George to be Tubman's father, is there any documentation?
Where did you find your information? Don't want much do I? Well, may the
Lord bless all genealogists for I know the ancestors want us all linked
together. I hope to hear back.

from Peter MANKINS, Sr. through his daughter, Rachel MANKINS (1816-1897) who
married Johnathan Alfred FINE (1814-1875) in 1836 in Washington County,
Arkansas. I'll be back with another post that I found on Eda Mankins...I
THINK it's her....
First, I have to go tell the FINE list about this MANKINS list!!! Hooray!!!

Hi Jana! I think we've talked before, and I KNOW I've visited your website.
It's great. I found this article....what do you think? (P.S....I feel so
RELATED here....I grew up in Tulsa, so hanging out in the Jenks Cemetery
sounds wonderful to me!) And, Strain is one of the names I've been hearing
forever!!!

OH Jana!!! I just realized that the article came from YOU! Well, now I have
the embarrassing myself on a new list part out of the way!
"MILLS, Mrs. E.A. - Mrs. E.A. Mills committed suicide last Sunday by jumping
on front of the train while crossing the high trestle just beyond Avoca in
Benton
county. She had been to Texas and before starting back wrote a letter to Mr.
A. S. GREGG in regard to some land in this county which she had disposed of
in which she expressed the opinion that she and her children would not live
to get home. She was raised in this county, was a highly respectable lady and
her unfortunate death is mourned by many friends."

Was very happy to run into your page. After looking at it have found more
information on my family out of West Virginia. Tubman Mankin is the line
that I am descended from and was very lucky to find it on your page... If
you don't mind when I get my page updated will add your site to my link page
for you have allot of information on your site about the family. I show in
my notes that a William Mankin moved to California and from what info that
I can get his wife's name was Helen but not for sure. His fathers name was
Martin C Mankin and he married Eliza Massey. Hope to have contact with you
on this family...

started in this endeavor and I've got a bunch of information to look
through, so it might be awhile before I can get back to you with any Mankin
facts. You've done a great job so far.
My father died Jan 23, 2000 and he was buried at the Lewinsville
Presbyterian church in Lewinsville (McClean), Virginia. Now that I know more
about my relatives I want visit the church again. I'm only 20 min. away, but
with 3 kids it's hard to plan.
Write back if you run across anything of interest, as I will do the same.

Dear Michael and family,
I was enthralled by your website. My name is Deborah Hyers, my mother
is Edna Mankins b.1912 and her father was William Clark Mankins d. 1939. He
died in California but my mother was born in Texas. We come through Peter
of Arkansas and Tubman Mankins lines.
I've just become interested in my family history and had found out some
wonderful things. I'm so excited that my main topic of conversation is
geneology. Then I found your sight. The music, graphics, the sense of
being part of something like you've presented brought tears to my eyes. I
can only hope one day to do something even half as wonderful. Thank you for
introducing me to my family. it was an awesome experience. I don't see how
it could possibly be improved you've done such an incredible job. Your
father was a lucky man to be admired so. thank You is not enough.

Hi, My name is Deborah Lewis-Evans. I am the ggggggg granddaughter of
Tubman Mankin. Sarah Mankin, Peter Jr.'s daughter married George
Washington Ballard and then down the road came me. :o)- As I was
visiting the Mankin site I couldn't help but notice the Sacramento
California location for you. I am from the Placerville area. I am
starting to learn about my ancestors. I find this so cool. I was looking
for information for my grandson about John Bracken Mankin for a school
project on the Gold Country. He just thought it was so great that one of
our ancestors was a gold miner. Well I just thought I'd take a minute to
say thanks for the site. I enjoyed it very much. If you feel like it or
have the time maybe we can swap some history. I do have a picture of
Peter Sr & Jr.'s graveside. My great Aunt Ida Belle Ballard took the
picture when she was doing research. I would be happy to send it to you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Millie,
No I didn't know about Carson City. How interesting. I have a great
uncle George Lewis who was a partial owner of a casino in Carson City
many years ago. I used to be a singer and dancer in Nevada. Must have
been in the family genes drawing me home. LOL I would be happy to share
my up to date things. There have been a few deaths of the elders in my
branch. I also have a picture of George Washington Ballard if you would
like it if you don't already have it. Just let me know. My great Aunt
Ida Belle, (I call her Aunt Ike) and Aunt Nova her sister, worked on the
family history for years. Traveled all over, checked census, county
records, just tons of stuff and they gave it all to me to download in my
PC. Then I met cousin Ray Maris online whom helped me and Becky
Ridenour, her Momma was a Ballard shared a lot too. But the family I
seem to most identify with are the Mankins. I'm a different breed. The
stories I've read and share with the family, they laugh and say, "Yep,
we see where you get it from." Especially John Brackin Mankin, being
rich and going through it all. Prayerfully I'll hear that he got it all
back someday. :o)- Well I hope to meet you someday. Like I said before I
live in the Placerville area, actually a little town called Garden
Valley, 5 miles from Coloma where James Marshall first discovered gold
here so I'm really not that far from you. My husband Roy has lived here
since about 1984 and he and I married 3 years ago so here I am. I'm
actually a bay area girl. I was born and raised in Hayward but being an
entertainer I traveled a lot. I had a wandering spirit about me in my
youth. Now my spirit is with God. :o)- He's slowed me down a lot. Now I
stay at home and take care of my 3 dogs and 12 dove. My husband has 5
acres up here and there is a lot of wildlife to see. Well I'll chat to
the cows come home so I better close. Next time your write tell me a
little bit about yourself. Take care and I look forward to hearing from
you.

By the way, most people call me Dee, but I like family to call me by my

I came across your Mankin page on the Internet and believe there is a
connection to the Blackmer family I am researching.
M. Richmond "Rit" Blackmer was born about 1837 in Hillsdale Co., MI and
served in the Civil War in Co. F., 4th Regt, Michigan Cavalry. He married
Lucy Malcom in 1862 and after the War they moved to Cedar Springs, Kent Co.,
MI, north of Grand Rapids. They had 2 children, Willard and Alena/Lena.
In Richmond's pension file is a request for an increased payment based on his
disability. It is dated 5 March 1890 and is witnessed by J.S. Mankin and
Herman Olson. I am sure J.S. Mankin is the John Sanford Mankin you have
listed on your home page. Just a month later, on 6 April 1890, Richmond died
at the Michigan Soldiers' Home in Grand Rapids, the same place that J.S.
Mankin died in 1906.
In 1900, Richmond's father-in-law, Samuel Malcom, deeded some land in Jackson
Co., Michigan to his grandchildren, Willard Blackmer and Lena Mankin. I
wonder if she married someone related to J.S. Mankin?
In your research, have you run across any connection between the Mankins of
Grand Rapids and the Blackmer family?
Thanks in advance,

Michael, it was great finding your website and very interesting to learn
about the Mankin family. My name is Dana Mankin, and I live in Tennessee.
Oddly enough, I have a brother I have a brother who shares your name.
Michael Mankin.
I have no known relatives other than my immediate family and was wondering if
you had traced any Mankins to Tennessee.
I know there are a great many here, though I'm not sure if any are relatives
of mine. I am 25 years old and have no idea of tracing my ancestory.
My grandfathers name was Henry Hall Mankin, and he had no brothers or
sisters, my great grandfathers name was also Henry Hall Mankin and as far as
I know, he had no siblings either. From there I'm thinking that his fathers
name was John Mankin, and I know that there was a Sarah.
Thats all I know, and thats all anyone in my family will tell me. If you
have any information, could you please help me. I know I have family out
there somewhere.
Thank you.

Hi Michael,
I just discovered you website on the Mankin Family. I was really
impressed. I have been researching them for 2 years. I may have talked to
you on internet once before. I think you told me of a ship Captain Mankin
who brought white slaves to Port Tobacco. It has been a while.
The Mankin Family is my daughter in laws family. I have been looking
all over to find relatives. I haven't read all your pages, but in 1969
there was a Mankin Newsletter originating from TX. I have some names of
subscribers, but I wasn't sure if they are still alive. I live in Dale City
Virginia. Just across the Potomac River from the Port Tobacco area. I see
that George Lewis Mankin III was born in Baltimore, MD. Is he still alive.
I tried to check the phone book in the area, but he isn't listed. I thought
it would be nice to meet him. You are over in California. That is where my
son and daughter-in-law lives. They have a yearly reunion in the summer,
perhaps you are closely related. I will have to look through my data and
see if I find you.
For now I think I will try to absorb some of your information.
I'm glad to get in touch with you once again.

Dear Michael,
I'm glad to hear you were not sure of the William Mankins. It didn't
quiet match up with my outline. There is a William Mankin burried in
Alexandria with his wife Dorcus. Once I get through reviewing the outline I
will give you a list of information that doesn't agree with mine. I get the
impression you are the Mankins from Ohio, California. My daughter-in-law is
from Tubman's line that went to Arkansas, Kentucky and California. That
line has a lively relative who lived to be 111.
I also live in the county that James Mankin drifted to. I have trying
to really firm up "Deep Hole". Most of the records are very fuzzy. I know
where Smithfield is located, but it doesn't match up with what I call Deep
Hole. I can not find any birth or death records to show the relative are
burried at Deep Hole. The Deep Hole I know is now a National Wildlife
Refuge. I have been surveying the plants on the property for 7 years. I am
a botanist. I only recently discovered George Lewis Mankins paper which
give more details of the Deep Hole property. I know exactly where the barn
was. I have commented to Fish and Wildlife that they need to have a
archeology study there to find the grave markers that were used as the
foundation to the barn. I can't believe they acturally built the barn on
top of the graves. I have an idea where the cemetery might be if not under
the barn. Do you have any other information on Deep Hole that is not on
your website? I have searched the court house and some other records, but
nothing firm. I just read somewhere that one of the rich owners left in his
will that the sons were to sell that property to the tenant farmers and this
may be where Mark Mankin got this property. I am still searching for the
property that Benjamin Mankin owned in Dumfries. I have not exhausted
sources. I am also trying to do my own family at the same time. So when I
run into a dead end I back off for a while and go to the other family.
I have found and visited the cemeteries of the Falls Church Mankins.
This is where Melvin Steadman is burried. There is about 50 relatives
burried in Herndon. I have been photographing as many grave stones as I
can. They keep multiplying. How did you decide to cut off the information
on the alive people. I know there are some that have died that you don't
have death dates. I think I will be able to fill in some of your blanks.
I was really impressed with your website. It must have taken you a
long time to make it. I am rather new at websites. I did make one with
roots web's help. No one has contacted me on it. There is so much
information out on the web.
Well it is getting late and I have to get up early for work tomorrow.

This is great! My great great grandfather was James A.'s brother Martin
Cloud Mankin. The research my mom has done only goes back to their father,
James. She started doing the family research some twenty years ago and has
been able to fill in some of information about the women who married into the
family from footnotes in some books. But that's about it. My grandfather
came from West Virginia as a young man. His parents were William Penn
Manking who married Helen Lee Ferguson. One of my grandfather's cousins was
Fred Mankin of Heppner, Oregon, who we met some thirty-five years ago.
Fred's father was John Joplin (aka JJ or GG?). I believe his birthdate was
Oct. 15, 1888. I will share this information with my mom; she's got all the
information. I just have a few notes. I will find out if she has
information about where/when the settled in the United States. I don't
believe she has a lot of that sort of info but we'll keep digging and
sharing. I've got a lot more information on my grandmother's family
(Stafford's of WV) and my father's father's family. His mother's and my
mother's father's family lines have been harder to research.
I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your information on the Mankin family history. My mother has
done research on her Mankin family heritage but has limited success. When I
saw your website I thought we'd "struck gold." Her great great grandfather
was James Mankin, but evidently not the same after all as he married (Sarah?)
Cloud and had children Betty, Sarah, James A., Simeon, Martin Cloud, Kirby,
John, Benjamin, and Jesse. Mom's greatgrandfather was Martin Cloud Mankin
who married Eliza Massey and to them were born John Joplin, Andrew
Washington, William Penn, Thomas Martin, Axia, and Catherine. William Penn
Mankin married Helen Lee Ferguson, children were Martin Bee, Celia Pink,

Hi!
You have an amazing site, reflecting and even more amazing wealth of
information. You have done some serious research, very impressive!
I stumbled across your site while I was trying to track down Rev. Thomas
Littleton. He is mentioned on your site as follows:
3-8-1-6 NANCY MANKIN, daughter of Mark Matthew Mankin and Elizabeth Ann Wood
Mankin, was born at "Deep Hole" near Dumfries, Prince William County, VA. She
married in Loudoun County on March 28, 1817 by Rev. Thomas Littleton to JAMES
WEEDON.
my 4x great-grandparents were also married by this Rev. Littleton, and I am
trying to find out what church(es) he presided over. My ancestors were
married several years later (1824), in Frederick Co., VA, so it would clearly
be a different church than the one your ancestors were married in, but as a
total shot in the dark, I thought I would ask you if you had any additional
information on Rev. Littleton. My thanks for your time, and again let me say
just how impressive your site is!
Best Regards and Happy Hunting;

I have tried to look at this www.mankin.org site and there is either a problem
on that end or my end. Most of the text and graphics run together and neither is
clear. I'm not even sure that you are who I should be talking with about the
problem. I clicked on an envelope at the bottom of the screen in hopes that I

Millie,
Thanks for responding so promptly. I run Windows 98 on a Dell 266mhz box. I use
Netscape 4.7 as my browser. The mankin.org site comes up fine but when I scroll
down through the page it starts running together. I also tried your mirror site
and got the same results. It may be something that I am doing wrong but I don't
have the same problem with any other site and unless I am mistaken, I viewed
your site a month or so ago and had no problem.
John Fagg was born a bastard child of Elizabeth Fagg and John Capshaw. John
Capshaw acknowledged John Fagg as his child in court in 1719. At court on
6/11/1723, John Fagg was bound to Stephen Mankin (Josiah Mankin's brother) until
John Fagg should come of age. John Fagg married Elizabeth Mankin, daughter of
Josiah Mankin and Margaret Chapman Mankin. Elizabeth Mankin had Joseph and
William as brothers that were placed in the care of Josiah's brother Stephen
when Josiah died about 3/6/1730. John Capshaw had married Hope Mankin, Josiah
Mankin's sister.
Elizabeth Fagg had another child by John Brooks,Jr. by about 1712, and I can't
help but think that Elizabeth was an endentured servant to the Brooks family as
well as members of the Mankin family arriving in America the same way but have
no proof.
Any light you can shed on this puzzle will be helpful.
Thanks again,
Errol Fagg

Michael,
I got your site up today and everything worked wonderfully. I also found the
John Fagg/Elizabeth Mankin connection as them being married about 1736. Its good
to verify history by another source. It appears that the Mankin, Capshaw, and
Fagg, connection is there in the early years. It is difficult to figure out the
exact relationships since births out of wedlock were not recognized but did
exist. I often think it would be nice to talk to some of these early settlers
and understand better what they went through and how they survived. Obviously
they did whatever they had to do and we may not agree with what they did but we
didn't have to deal with their circumstances.
I will keep an eye out for any additional information that includes the
Mankin/Capshaw/Fagg connection and pass it on to you. In the meantime, if you
come across any information about Elizabeth Fagg or any other early connections,
I would appreciate you passing it along to me.

Paul
Alfred my husband
Mark

This line came from Maryland to Kentucky Tennessee, Arkansas then Texas.
We
had a lot of correspondence and phone conversations with Steadman prior
to his death.
Of course he was not researching the southern Mankins. Denzil Daniel
was working on the ones in the south..Jess Mankin was living on the land
given to the revolutionary James but have lost touch with him.
When my husband was buried at Arlington National Cemetary we learned the
only other Mankin there at that time was a sargeant. Is that your
father?
I printed out your web page to keep it for a reference. Really enjoyed
your research about the name. When I was in Edinborough to look up some
records they told me everything they have is in the LDS library in Utah.
Will be looking forward to your update.

Hello Michael,
I was very glad to see your message the other day. I have not be able to
spend a lot of time researching my Mankin family line. Oh by the way your web
site is great. I hope you don't mind me passing it on to a few others that
will be interested.
In my records I have always assumed that there was a Richard T. Mankin sr.
and a Richard T. Mankin, Jr. Tubman was born in 1696 and Richard T. Mankin
(the one that's listed on your site) was born 1742. This means that Tubman
would have been 46 when he had this Richard T. Mankin. This is not unheard of
but it does leave plenty of room for another Richard t Mankin.
My Barruch Robey was born about 1765 and it seems that his wife Margaret
Mankin would have been born around 1760, this would make her around 28 when
she gave birth to Richard T. Mankin Robey(my 3rd great grandfather).
I have been trying to locate the burial place of Barruch and Margaret but as
of this writing no luck yet. I have found a few hints that they may have come
to Ohio followings at least three of their sons.
Well, I better quit rambling.
Talk to you again

Hello Michael,
I too am glad to find another Mankin cousin. I went for years wondering if I
would ever find any and this year I have been found by two. Early this year I
was contacted by another descendant of Richard T. Mankin Robey.
I will but together the history of our line and send it to you. Which form
would you like it in? I can print it out and mail it to you or send it as a
gedcom file or rtf file attached to an email if you would like it that way.
My Richard T. Mankin Robey and his wife died and are both buried in
Leesville, Ohio. One of Richard T's brothers, John A. B. Robey, moved his
family to Indiana in the mid 1800s. They are buried up near Fort Wayne,
Indiana. I will have to look at my records to see exactly where. There is a
Barrick Robey, age 30-40,(I believe that this is another brother to my
Richard T.) in the 1830 Tuscarawas County, Ohio census and there is a female
listed age 60-70. I believe that this could be his mother which would be
Margaret (Mankin) Robey. I'm not sure what happened to this family after 1830
they don't show up in the 1840 census. This is one of my projects, trying to
find Barruch and Margaret.
I can check with one of my Roby cousins on the location of Mankins Adventure.
He has done a lot of research in this area and I'm sure he will know where it
is located.

I have in my files a Charles Edward MANKIN from Alexandria, Virginia. When
the Mankin(s) came to America from Scotland, there was no "s" on the end of
their name. As time went on, one of the family added the "s" and his line
spelled it with the "s" from that point on. However, some did not adopt the
new spelling and retained the original "Mankin"
Charles Edward Mankin, born July 24, 1839 in Alexandria, Virginia, married on
December 20, 1882 to Ann Valinda Lynch in Dulin Chapel Methodist Church,
South, Falls Church, Virginia. Charles Edwarn Mankin died on September 13,

on Decemb4er 14, 1860 in "Hill House", Falls Church, Virginia, died February
7, 1925 in Falls Church, VA.

Hi Michael. I am working on genealogy today (FINALLY) and see that in
the 5th generation you now have my George Mankin as being No. 3-5-3-1-3
(3rd child) -- rather than the 3-5-3-1-2 (2nd child) previously listed.
I guess new research has turned up the William Mankin 3-5-3-1-1?
I will proceed from there (if this is correct, and I assume it is) and
send you the subsequent generations of my George 3-5-3-1-3. I am going
to send these via snail mail so you will have copy in print, and I will
make additions and corrections that I have since discovered in the past
few months.
Thank you for this great MANKIN service! Linda.

I mailed you today all my updates. One correction I failed to notice is:
in 8th generation: Harlan Sanford Mankin. It is HE who died in Fremont on
16 Jan. 1969 and his wife's name is spelled "Menette". Perhaps you can add
that to the other stuff I am sending.
He was a world class contortionist who travelled the world with the
vaudeville circuits. Would you be interested in a picture or pictures of
him (in postures) for the website.? When I learn how to scan, etc., I
could send them to you.
Yes, It is hard to know what is conjecture but I am very certain that the
7th generation Joseph Mankin married to Zoe Knight is OURS - 3-5-3-1-3-1
and not the other Joseph Mankin. I have Ohio Census listing him in our
family, and also family letters and oral history. Joseph and Zoe both died
very young and left 3 small children who were adopted out. One of them was
in Oregon and I have letters from his daughter telling all about his
siblings, uncles, etc., and they are all OURS.
When I went to LDS site last year, he was the only Mankin I could find.
Somehow the Joseph Mankin/Susan Metz family has claimed him. I always
question where the info comes from. You are SO right -- it is very hard to
be sure. One has to be a detective. I must go back to Phyllis Cline's
records - perhaps she had put him in the Mankin/Metz column? I could never
have done this with Phyllis' help. She has been wonderful in all her
research.
I am afraid that much of the LDS site info could also be conjecture. I
don't know that they could possibly require proof of all of that ???
It would be fun if we could prove that we are actually descendents of the
Rev. War William Mankin - but that is the point at which I cannot PROVE.
>From George Mankin and Charity Wright onward I can prove.
Again, thanks for all your patience and information and hard work on this
web site. OH, I almost forgot. I got from the Nationa Archives the Civil
War records of a George Mankin who was killed. I had thought he was MINE,
but discovered he wasn't, even though the Ohio connection and name was the
same. I would be happy to pass these along to the right family. Think I
said that on a genealogical website, but no one responded.
In the event you have him somewhere: His name is George M. Mankin, married
to Mary Ann Rukinbrod. They had 4 children: Alcena Mankin, Jonathan
Mankin, Martha Mankin and George Albert Mankin -- all born in Columbiana
County, Ohio (That is where many of our Mankin's come from, too, so there
must have been dozens of them!). They were all born from 1854 to 1862 so
she was left a young widow with these kids to bring up. Some of the Mankin
genealogists must be able to claim them somewhere. A letter from an Edgar
M. Bell who was an attorney in Cleveland in 1916, says that Mary A. Mankin
is his grandmother.
Somewhere along the line all of these pieces of the jigsaw puzzle would fit
into SOMEONES family study. This is why your website is so valuable.
People can get information and fill in the gaps -- sometimes where it is
least expected.

Hello, Michael, you've done a wonderful job on your Mankin Site!! My
mother's paternal grandmother was Fannie Mankins. She was born June 15,
1868 in Georgetown, Texas. According to our family Bible her father was
Evan Mankins, born Jan 12, 1839 in Madison Co., Arkansas.
According to the 1850 Census of Williamson Co., Texas; Evan's parents were
Samuel C. Mankins (born July 19, 1815 in Floyd Co., KY and Dotia Williams.
>From here I found on the net that Samuel C. Mankins was the son of Peter
Mankins born Sept. 19, 1770, Cedar Point, MD (who is the son of John and
Masa). I am descended from both of Peter Mankins' wives.
It seems that the Mankins traveled from Kentucky to Arkansas
with the Williams family. From Arkansas they moved to Texas. I did not
know there is a Mankin, Texas.
Anyway, it is nice to speak to a distant relative,
Mary D.

Micheal,
Thanks for the info on the webpage. I'm afraid I don't have much on the AR
Mankins, but I'm attaching some info I copied from the Washington Co. AR
History Book(giving credit to that book on page 1, of course!) You may
already have it, but perhaps not. It was done 10 yrs. ago. I hope it's
useful to you in some way.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Micheal,
If I've already asked you this, please forgive me (I'm getting old!ha) You
note on the page regarding the children of Tubman, that his son John was
married to Masa, known to be a full-blood Delaware. Where did you get
that info? I've heard that before, but have nothing to "prove" it.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, thanks for the information. It's quite plausible to me, too. I don't
have much problem with family stories that have alot of basis for the info,
ie, the location of the particular tribe to the location of the "white"
families, occupations of the settlers, etc.
And the Quaker thing makes sense, too. On down my line from Mankins, Geo.
W. Lewis (Rachel Brackin Lewis Mankin's son) had a dau., Sina, who married
Thomas Cook, s/o Hannah Macy and John Cook-----both Quakers from way back.
By the way, G.W. Lewis married his stepfather's niece, Nancy Mankins, dau.
of Walter.....what a tangled web. Oh, well, the branch the Macy's came from
is so interesting is pretty much grows in a circle! ha
Thanks for sharing......and I won't be disputing the ancestors' theory of
their origin!

Hi Michael,
Good to hear from you again. Yes, the article you've sent sure looks like
J.B. was the one who owned and eventually sold the land. I've not seen that
story before, but I did see something else about him and information
concerning Carson City and the surrounding area. I can't remember now what
it was, but I'll try to find it. Oh, maybe it was a website you forwarded
to me, and a letter or something in the archives in Calif. was
mentioned......does that sound familiar?
I think I would've liked to have known ole John B. Mankin, wouldn't you? He
got around, and knew some folks back then!

Hi,
I am trying to get an angle on this one and am stuck.
My grandmother was Christina Meiklejohn. Her father was Alexander McEwan
Meiklejohn who married Margaret Mankin in 1891 at Stockton on Tees England.
I don't know where they were fron or what happened to them but there
children were brought up by an aunt in Tillicoultry, my home town. I have
now found other Mankins in the town and it is not a Scottish name and they
were the only ones in Scotland, none here in 1881. I think I might have an
idea that Alex came from Bothwell, near Glasgow. He was an Iron Moulder and
and this was a prevalent trade in the area. There was also a need for this
trade in the Stockton area with new railways etc. It is a theory that he may
well have gone there to gain better employment and married Margaret Mankin
there. I do not know if she went there with him or he met her there. I
believe that there is a connection between the Mankins in Tillicoultry and
Stockton.
I know this isn't very far back as geneology goes but we have to begin
somewhere. None of my fathers family knew anything about the Meiklejohns or
Mankins. They both must have died when their children were very young. Maybe
they dumped the kids and made off for a new life in the colonies. Anyway, I
hope you will be able to help me a little. If I can be of assistance this
end let me know

Michael,
I have not documented the "Germany" thing and I should remove it. I had
forgotten it was there and came from the same source as the thing about
William being a "MD" - of course this was for Maryland and it was taken for
his being a doctor. :-)
This is the first time I have come across "Sarah Elizabeth" for Celia's
given name. Could there have been two William Mankins in Tn? Since there
is a problem with whom the daughter, Nancy, married - I have Joseph Newman
(who is definitely my line) and some others (on Ancestry.com) have a
Jacobs. My info came from Tn. relatives who took or told us where each was
buried. You know there was a settlement called Mankinville just outside of
Murfreesboro, Tn. I really doubt that William and Celia's daughter was
married in Anderson (Co. ?). I can't right off the top of my head think of
that county or its location. I will do some searching on that also. I
found Celia in the 1850 census of Rutherford Co. with a male in-law living
with her. I assumed this would have to be William's brother since the
census didn't show a different name for him. I have access to the 1850
census sheets on line so I have been printing them out as I find the family
members. When I find more info relating to this line, I will advise you. I
will be in Nashville the end of Aug. and again the middle of Sept. and plan
to spend some time in Nashville and Murfreesboro. William's will was listed
as a Bedford Co. will, but the info was given in the Rutherford Co. book.
This is probably because of the formation of Bedford Co. from a part of
Rutherford. I have a lot of Mankin(s) people whom I have found in the
cemetery books of Rutherford Co. that I can't put with anyone. Hopefully
with the printed census sheets, I can put them somewhere. I have printed
all the Mankins I found in Rutherford Co., but I need to check Bedford
also. My Nancy Mankin Newman didn't die until 1896 so I will check the 1880
census for her when I am in Tn. and see where it says her parents were
born. Nancy M. Newman didn't have a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth, but the
other Nancy M. Jacobs did. NMN had a daughter named Drucilla and I think
that may have been for her mother, Celia. This is all a big treasure hunt
with skip-tracing thrown in. :-) If I can help you with any thing from
Tn., let me know and I will try to find it. I have a distant relative who
works at the Archives. I will also try to contact Andrew J. Farrell, 460
Weeping Elm Road, Mr. Juliet, Tn, (615-758-5937) as he is said to have a lot
of info on this line.
About the Prater line, I know there was a lot of Praters in the area of
Rutherford Co., but these families moved like gypsies in bands from the old
neighborhoods. The Keltons are another bunch that shows up in several
places with the Mankin families nearby.
Any way, I appreciate your responses. I will see what I can find and share
with you. I have the Rutherford cemeteries books and other genealogy books
from the society. If I look up or check anything for you, just ask.
A probably cousin,
Judy

Michael,
Thanks for all the wonderful info and your website is tremendous!
I have a problem with Celia's name being Sarah Elizabeth. I am attaching my
genealogy report for William and Celia. My mother and I have done extensive
research in the Rutherford Co. area. Years ago my mother visited with the
Lynch and Newman families. Much of my info was gleaned from these sources
since there is little else to go on. William and Celia had a daughter named
Drusilla and I have thought that "Celia" could be short for Drusilla. Also,
the family line which shows William and Celia's daughter, Nancy, married a
Jacobs is erroneous. I have documentation that Nancy married Joseph Newman
and that she was the daughter of Wm. and Celia. Since the Nancy who married
a Jacobs did so in Anderson (I suppose County), this is a strange occurrence
if she was the daughter of parents living in Rutherford (later Bedford)
County. Please look over my material and let me know of any mistakes you
find.
Thanks,
Judy Cummins French

1. WILLIAM1 MANKIN was born Abt. 1762 in GERMANY, and died January 08, 1827

1850 in RUTHERFORD CO, TN (Source: CEM. BOOKS, RUTHERFORD CO HIST. SOC.).

William settled near Beech Grove, TN. info from records of Dorothy McCall
MacGregor, from "Duck River Valley and Pioneers" by (1) Lucille Frizzell

(3) Orbie Newman, Christiana, TN and (4) Epper Bell Newman, Webb,
Christiana, TN.
In "Rutherford Co., TN Cemeteries, VOL II Eastern Third of County," this
family is shown as being buried in Mankin Cemetery located 1/2 mile due
south of Big Creek Church, enclosed by heavy stone fence - off Manchester
Pike on Big Spring Road, turn by church into a field. Gives his age at death
as 65.
"TN. Tidbits" VOL 1, Page 235, show admr. of William's will in Rutherford
Co. as Joel Smith. Celia appointed guardian for William, Jesse and Charles,
minor heirs which means that they were under 21 years of age. Will found in
Bedford Co. records, but listed as Rutherford Co. will. There has been info
saying that Wm. was a doctor, but this is believed to be in error. Someone
mistook the "MD" for Maryland as "M.D." for doctor.

There is now information that Celia's surname was either "Prater" or
"Kelton" and neither has been verified at this point. Andrew J. Farrell, 460

M. MacGregor.
From info in cem. books in Rutherford Co, he was buried in Millersburg Cem,
Rutherford Co., TN as was Nancy.
"TN COUSINS" listed Joseph Newman as being in Bolivar in 3 different years
and in 1828 listed him as Captain of steamboat "Rover". Bolivar is on the
Hatchitte River which flows from Miss. into TN and would explain the
birthplace of the two children born in MS.
"AUTOMATED ARCHIVES, CD #102, LINEAGES'S LIBRARY LIBRARY, FILE #44008," GA
ARCHIVES, gives his place of birth as Va (probably Amherst or Buckingham
Co.)
Found a town on the GLO map in "Rutherford Co. Cemeteries" that is or was
near where the Newman's settled by the name of "Rover." This reinforces my
opinion that Joseph was the steamboat Capt. mentioned above.

Hello,
I am writing you either because we have been in communication before or because your email address has come up
in my latest searches looking for descendants of the Seth & Charity Thornburg Mills family, especially descendants
of Enos and Edith Mankins Mills. I am trying to close a three year gap in determining that my Martha Jane Mills
and the Martha Jane who was the daughter of Enos and Edith Mankins Mills are one and the same person.
In so doing, and thanks to the very sharp eyes of Sue Nandor and Ruby Sharp, I have realized many,many
researchers have confused the four existing Enos Mills (there are probably more Enos' but these are the ones that
seem to get confused!). If this were not confusing enough (!) many have alsoconfused two different Edith Mankins!
In the research data of some, all these people have become just one couple and their information is hopelessly
combined. I have gone back to all the original sources I can find and really believe I have it all sorted out.
I believe that one primary place people have gotten confused about the Enos' is in reading an
article written by Frank M. McConnell for the Flashback publication connected to the letters from
Jacob in 1843 and Seth in 1852 in which McConnell confuses the Enos' himself. He says this son of Seth and and
Charity was born in 1831... when Springfield MM records clearly shows his birth date as 29 Feb 1816 and he adds
an "L" as a middle initial to Enos name. There was an Enos L. and an Enos P., sons of the first Enos' brothers,
Aaron and Jacob who were born in the 1830-40 timeframe, but they are NOT the man who married Edith
Mankins! I have never seen any substantiation for a middle initial "L" added to the name of Enos Mills who
married Edith Mankins. If you have such documentation, I would love to know of it. The idea is to get it right...
and as Kaye Larrabee said so well, "I practice guilt free genelaogy!" The fourth Enos is Enos Jr., son of Enos Sr.
and Edith Mankins Mills who was born after Enos died (Enos died Oct. 1849 and Enos Jr. was born May 1850 in
order to be 5 mos. old in the 1850 Census). I can find no further record of this Enos at all anywhere beyond the
1850 census and I wonder if he survived infancy under the circumstances....
McConnell also says Enos died 1868 on the Mills farm in Washington Co., AR. This is correct
information for one of the Enos', but it identifies a different Enos than the one who married Edith
Mankins. Dade County, MO Will Abstracts show that both Enos and his brother Henry died in intestate in MO in
1849 and 1848 respectively.
Regarding Edith Mankins, if you look at her age on both the 1840 and 1850 census records, 1) the ages are
consistent as "w female 15/20 years old" in 1840 and 28 years in 1850 thus 2) she cannot be the Edith Mankins
who was daughter to Peter Sr. and Rachel Bracken Lewis Mills as this woman was born in 1810 and would have
been age 30 in 1840 and age 40 in 1850! On the other hand, her age is just about a perfect fit for her to be the first
Edith's niece. I am convinced "the real Edith" who married Enos Mills was the GRANDdaughter of Peter Sr and
Rachel and the daughter of their son John Bracken and Mary "Polly" Sloan Mills. Both were born in Floyd County,
KY, a generation just got skipped along the way.
I have sorted this out to the best of my ability and charted it all here
<http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/2martha.html#John> and here
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/edithmankins.html
At this point, I want to know where in the heck Edith and the children went after the 1850 Census.
In my mind, the story is likely that poor Edith, a 28 year old illiterate widow with 6 children ages
5 mos. to 10 years had little other on her mind than pure survival. In those days, with the options
available to women, I suspect she was either looking to extended family for support or looking for
another husband. The two widowed sisters-in-law live near each other in Dade County, MO in 1850 but I can find
no traces of either after this. By the Civil War, if the family had stayed in the area, William Riley and Henry would
certainly have been "draft age" and Enos Jr. would have been old enough before the War ended. I cannot find
traces of any of them on either side of the War. Can anyone help? In trying to narrow it down, I am concentrating
on Oregon, California and Texas.....
I have heard from a descendant of Silvester Massey, who administered Enos' estate after his death
that members of the Massey family went from Indiana either to Lane County and Marion County, Oregon or to
Bell County, Texas. I note that Edith's father John Bracken Mankins married 1st in Floyd Co., KY where his 1st 4
children were born. Then he must have gone to IL at least briefly because son Peter P was born there. Then he
went to Washington County, AR where the last 3 children were born. Mary "Polly" Sloan Mankins died between
1837-39 and John married wife #2 in Washington Co., AR in 1839. Then, he went to CA and married his 3rd wife
in Tulare County in 1864, then apparently went back to Washington County, AR to marry his 4th wife in 1869
then died in Mariposa County, CA in 1876.... lots of back and forth! Maybe Edith was with her father??? I am in
Ca so I will go look up those records pronto!
I'd appreciate it if you would all look over what I have posted and let me know if you see any
errors. If any of you have been in touch with descendants of any of Enos and Edith's children, would you please
direct me to those people?
Given the confusion in her family of origin, it makes it even easier for me to understand why I have had such a
hard time tracking Martha Jane's ancestry ;]
Thanks so much just for reading this missive!

Hi Michael,
No, John B and his story is brand new to me! Thanks... After I sent out my looong note yesterday, my computer
crashed so I have been doing some de-fragging, etc.... now that I am "officially" clean again, I am going to begin
looking in CA for evidence of Edith and the children. Thanks for letting me know about the Carson City
connection... these folks sure got around! Interesting to me to note is that IF my Martha is theirs, her son John
lived and died in Winnemucca, NV after spending 10 years chasing one kind of ore or another from Calico, CA up
into the Yukon and back... he was in CA,
OR, WA and NV.. maybe there was other family in the area???
I still want you to run a MANKIN mailing list... ;] It is really not a big deal.... I just sent out
one set of emails to announce it to the folks I knew were logical subscribers, the rest took care of
itself. The list wouldn't be a big one, so it is easy to control.... have you thought more about it?
Gee, you could use the list of folks I cc-ed that message to as a beginning! Keep in touch! Hey, if
you are ever gonna be down in the Bay Area with a bit of time on your hands, let me know... You know I am in
San Anselmo, right?

Hi Michael,
Brave or crazy, the results are good so far and I haven't even advertised the list yet! 12 subscribers in 24 hours with
no effort....and some posts, too.
And before I go any further, I want you to know I would never say anything publicly about including other family
group sheets on your site w/o you deciding
you feel OK about it.
To give you an idea of a "One Name Study" page, take a look at what Shawn Matlock and I accomplished this
Spring. He had inherited a truckload of documents, but had no web skills. I had been approached by an 83 year old
researcher who wanted to be sure her efforts benefited future generations - her work picked up where the work of 4
other researchers stopped! We decided to put it all on one site. He sent me his data, I formatted it and uploaded it
in a style he
liked. I added what I had from Winnie and, in the case of this surname, when we were approached by some
Afro-American and Native American descendants of this family, we decided to open up the conversation even
further and include whatever references we could find to slaves or inter-racial marriages. It has been incredibly
fruitful (tho, as I said, not worth any real dimes....).
We now have the raw material representing about 50 years of research by the most prominent know Matlock
researchers online. Next step is to let those who have taken the work further add to what these researchers did (we
will post their data in a different color - the reason Shawn chose B & W for the initial format).
Obviously you have web skills, so yes, you would just pick a format you prefer and use it to "broaden the branches"
of the Mankin/s tree.... here is the Matlock url: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~szmatlok/ Basically, you could do
whatever the heck you wanted to do! My website is such a mishmash of surnames that I really don't want to add
more than I have on it. I am already doing One Name work for two of my "smaller" surnames...You can see why I
said "crazy" above.....
My real goal is to get a book written eventually..... this is all the research ;) My youngest just finished high school
and for the first time in 27 years, my focus is not on my kids.... so I am going kinda nuts with all this.
No hurry, let's just continue to keep in touch...

Hi Michael,
(grumble grumble) well, I did it. I decided I really wanted a MANKIN/S mailing list so all the researchers can
come together in one place to compare
notes and sort out the fine details. I had it set up yesterday and I have begun to announce it. I am pointing folks to
your website, so you may
experience traffic and queries ;)
To join the list go here: <http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/m/mankins.html> and do what it says. I posted
to the ARWASH-L and will probably hit
INWAYNE, ILVERMIL, NCORANGE, KYFLOYD as well. Other hot spots you can think of, let me know - oh
yeah, MDPRINCEWM, MDCHARLES....
You get to decide if you want your site to be the repository for associated family group sheets or not... everything is
going towards OneName studies
for surnames. There may be no money in it, but at least future generations will be able to find the data... and it
might get accurate....
Cheers,

Hi Michael,
Hope you are having a great summer - it has been much cooler this year down in Marin. I'm not complaining but it
is weird!
Michael are you aware of or in contact with the widow of James Mankins; last known address: Jean (Mankins)
Miller - 48 Robles St. - Sacramento CA 95828? Apparently, there is also a son who may have his father's research
papers as the mother remarried in the 90s.... There are two other names:
Lillie M. Campbell (she apparently has a Mankins family Bible which includes info on my line that I have heard of
nowhere else) and a Mrs. James C. Mankins, all in CA. Do you know of, or have contact info for any of them? I
would like to try to make contact....
Sue Nandor says James had entitled his work "Up Our Tree"...... I am especially interested as this work lists a
death date for Edith/Eddie/Eda Mankins as 08-17-1867. I have searched and searched and cannot find any
evidence of Edith and family after 1850. Finding evidence of Edith's death should connect or eliminate my Martha
as her eldest daughter. If what I am saying confuses you, it is all chronicled here:
I know you are busy, and I would surely appreciate an answer! Thanks in advance....

Hi Kaye & EVERYONE!
Your listowner here... I am kinda answering both of Kaye's emails to me
here... WELCOME to the list! I started it last year just so we *would* have
a place to gather MANKINS as I certainly know there are *lots* of us out
there ;) I am going to tell my WHOLE story here in case it sparks any ideas
for any of you!
The list so far, has been quiet, but perhaps we can get something going!
Kaye, please DO tell the Fine list to come onboard - as you know we are very
interrelated! In a moment, I will update you on my latest progress... and We
can try a ROLL CALL... I just looked and there are 44 of us on this list
now! Let's get going... I invite everyone to list their line of descent so
we can get to know each other and make connections!
I descend (at least I think I descend... I am still in the 99% sure
category...looking for the *one* piece of proof I need) from the John Mills
Quaker line. It is all posted here:
Briefly, the line is John > Henry > Aaron > Seth > Enos....I come into the
MANKINS line with the marriage of Enos MILLS and Edith MANKINS 14 June 1848,
location not proved. You can see the MANKIN line charted here:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/edithmankins.html What I can prove is
that Martha Jane MILLS was in Shelby Co., IN by Feb 1855 as my great
grandfather was born there then. She did not marry my gg grandfather until
June of that year, so it is questionable whether my g grandfather was
Patrick KIRWINs son or not. I can say he claimed him... but I cannot explain
the Swamp Fox story that was handed down in our family oral history. The
closest I have come is to noting that Martha's cousin, Francis Marion MILLS
lived on an adjoining farm in MO..... Other than that, I know that Edith's
father, John Brackin MANKINS was quite a character who "commuted" back and
forth from points in CA to AR and married 4 times, dying and being buried
near Yosemite.
Since I got this much worked out(largely thanks to Kaye and Ruby Sharp and
Sue Nandor), I have been trying to find even one actual piece of evidence to
link my Martha Jane Mills to the Martha who is the daughter of Enos and
Edith and I have been trying to learn what happened to Edith and children
after Enos died. The last note of her was in 1852 in a letter from Enos
brother, Seth. Good news: everything I have found continues to keep pointing
me in this direction, Bad news: I haven't found even one scrap of paper
making the connection yet... my notes are posted on the MILLS page... I do
think I am "on the right trail" - the Oregon Trail. There are no records for
this group in 1860 in MO, AK, IN, OH, NC, KY, TN, KS or OK... I have looked.
It is possible all Edith's sons could have been killed during the Civil War,
but I can find no records of any of them.
Sooo, here is what I have found: (FYI, everyone I will refer to is on this
list!) I *have* made connections with descendants of a few potentially "key"
people in the lives of Enos and Edith:
1)Gerry in OR is descended from Mary Ann MILLS MASSEY THOMPSON thru her son
Sylvester. This is important as Gerry can establish that Sylvester went to
Oregon with his wife, Perlina Skeen in 1853. This is important to me since
Sylvester had administrated Enos' estate after he died in testate in 1849 in
Dade Co., MO. suggesting he was one of the folks who helped Edith.
Meanwhile, Mary Ann had married a second time after Matthew MASSEY died and
went to Bell Co., TX with her new hubbie, Joseph THOMPSON. One of their
sons, A.L. THOMPSON, became a judge and quite a bit is written about him.
This suggested to me that Edith, a 28 year old widow in 1850 with 6 children
aged 5 mos. to 10 years had likely gone to family for help. Chances are she
was hoping to find a new husband as well to help her get those kids
raised.... "Family" would have been in either Washington Co., AR; Wayne Co.,
IN; Bell County, TX or headed west.... so this is where I looked next...
2)Then, June RAMEY CLINE, a descendant of Enos and Ediths' daughter, Lucinda
Charity MILLS RAMEY found me! Lucinda was Martha's baby sister... Lucinda
had gone to live in Washington Co., AR when she married James M. RAMEY
suggesting perhaps the family went back to AR from MO after Enos' death.
>From my POV, I would like to find some evidence that Lucinda and Martha
communicated, thus establishing where Martha went and that my Martha is the
same woman, but, so far, we have not found this.... Lucinda did name a
daughter Lydia Martha after her two sisters.
So, my question continues to be, where did Edith go........ and what
happened to siblings Lydia, Henry, William Riley and Enos Jr??? I looked all
through the Civil War records and did find a Henry, but cannot establish
which Henry this would be.
3) Then this fall, I made a VERY exciting discovery!!! OREGON Census records
showed William Riley MILLS married with a family in two successive censuses,
1860 & 1870! He is listed as born in AR, and his age matches, so I am sure
it is the correct man! The census says William's first child, Margaret, was
born in OR in 1860, so they got there sometime between 1852 and 1860...The
listings are in Jackson and Josephine Counties, the same counties Sylvester
MASSEY was in, so this continues to "feel right." He names a son John
BRACKIN MILLS, which connects him to his grandfather, John BRACKIN MANKINS
and he named a daughter Martha, suggesting loyalty to family still. Still no
evidence of Edith, Lydia, Henry or Enos Jr., in OR however....did they die
on the Trail???? Did they even take the trail?????
4)My aunt went to AR this fall and learned that the Obit regarding Mrs. E.A.
MILLS is NOT our Edith, so at least that has been eliminated...
5) The rest of what I have is circumstantial... My Martha's sons, William,
John and Charles spent quite a few years prospecting in CA, OR, WA and the
Yukon before settling down. You can read a timeline of their adventures
here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/willjackktimeline.html William
finally went to Okanogan Co., WA and is found in the 1900 and 1910 Censuses
there - three wives, no evidence of children, so far. John went to
Winnemucca, NV - two wives and I suspect he may have had children and I
surely would like to make contact with them!!! He died in a VA Hospital in
Winnemucca in 1944 and I have a copy of his Obit which puts him there in
1918. Uncle Charlie went with his folks to Kansas and farmed there until his
death in 1939. It was his wife, Aunt Lou, who wrote the family ballad that
was the beginning of my search for Martha's family - you can read it here:
http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/2patrick.html As you may note, the
poem rhymes, but some of the facts may be fiction ;) I am in contact with
all the KIRWIN descendants... This seems important as it makes sense to me
that Martha may have encouraged her sons to "go west" knowing she had kin in
OR and thru John Brackin MANKINS, connections in CA. They went to Calico,
CA, which is in San Bernardino Co., south of Yosemite.... but still in the
area...
This pretty much brings me to the present... I am looking for descendants of
William Riley MILLS plus any evidence of what happened to Edith MANKINS
MILLS and her other children, Henry, Lydia and Enos Jr.... if anyone on this
list has any ideas, send them on!!!
Meanwhile, I hope you will all take the time to post what you do know about
your kin... between us all perhaps we can piece the puzzle together!
Here's hopping the in this new Millennium we will get it right for future
generations!

Hi MANKINS Cousins!
I am SO happy to see a MANKINS list and have the opportunity to subscribe.
I
am primarily a FINE researcher and am listowner for the FINE list on
RootsWeb, as well as a LARRABEE list (my husband's line). I am descended
from Peter MANKINS, Sr. through his daughter, Rachel MANKINS (1816-1897) who
married Johnathan Alfred FINE (1814-1875) in 1836 in Washington County,
Arkansas. I'll be back with another post that I found on Eda Mankins...I
THINK it's her....
First, I have to go tell the FINE list about this MANKINS list!!! Hooray!!!

[MANKINS] Mankin Adventure
Hello,
I just joined the MANKINS list. I am the gg-grandaughter Ezra
Mankins from Washington County (Marietta) Ohio. His father was William F.
Mankins from Virginia. I have been researching my line of Mankins for
approx. 10 years. I have learned a lot about the history of the MANKINS,
and
enjoy helping others in their searches. Right now, I am trying to find out
any information that I can about the Mankin Adventure. I understand it was
a
sub manor of ST. Thomas Manor. Does anyone out there have any information
about the history of MANKIN ADVENTURE?

Just happened to be trying to find William P. Mankins & Hattie Lemaster
Mankins listed. They came from KY and lived their married lives in MN. Can't
find when William died. Hattie married later & don't know when she died
either. Do you have information on either of them? Mean time,
congratulations on the beautiful job you did. on your site. That park is so
pretty. Have a sister- in law in Sacramento. My in-laws lived in

Hi Michael,
Yep, all the Mankin Family in the UK basically reside in the same
part of the country - the North East of England - Yorkshire/County Durham. I
only came out to New Jersey for 6 months but I've been here for almost 5 years now
- Mortgage and all, in too deep now :-)
I am desperately trying to find the time to get www.mankin.net started and
gets some pictures and Family tree on the web site. I know what you mean, there just isn't the
time. I bought the website about three years ago and it's still under construction.
That's fascinating how you discovered the HMS Mankin. Thank you for the
picture.
My Uncle Brian (brian@mankin.freeserve.co.uk) has been working on the Family
Tree in the UK. I haven't really had time to help him out, but I promised him I
would put anything he has onto the web.
Take Care,
Jeremy

Hi Michael,
I'm Sue Nandor, a direct descendant from Peter Mankins Sr. Was referred to
your website by Jana Black. I'm in the process of reading thur your research. Tubman Mankin would be the father
of Peter Sr..
As a small boy , It is said, Peter was bound to a baker in Cedar Point MD.
Have
you in knowledge of who the baker was? Or any document that would document
this? I have been searching for this for some time.
You quote me (#15) as source of John being the father of Peter,Sr. This is
handed down thur the Rachel (Mankin) Fine line. Rachel (9th child of Peter Sr.)
married Jonathan Fine in 1836, Washington Co. Arkansas. I have traced a descendant
from that lline up to the 50's, but have not had any luck beyond that.
There is supposed to be an existing bible that lists John and Masa as Peter's
parents. If I could find the indenture of Peter it would surely list who bound him over to
the baker.
You have such a lovely presentation. I have only had a computer since last
August and between my husband and myself we are like dumb and dumbmer.
Still haven't figured out which is dumber.
Have a good day, looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
I am so glad you liked the picture.
It is red native stone and it is located in the Reese Cemetery. This coffin
shaped vault is said to be above his grave.
Roughly chisled on the top of it is inscribed:
In Memory of Peter Mankins
Died December 30, 1881
Age 111yrs, 3 months
J.H. Van Hoose quoted, "Those who knew him best, loved him most. If he had
ever had an enemy, he had outlived them all."
Reese Cemetery is located west of Sulphur City (originally called
"Mankins"). This is in Washington County.
I don't know how much you know about Peter Sr and Peter Jr. They were both
unbelievable men. Very, very interesting. I will send you some information
that I got from the library.
The Fayetteville Library is full of information on the Mankins. I have
copied everything that they have. I will make copies of the "good stuff"
and get it to you. There is a lot that I copied that wasn't really
anything, but my father inlaw (Charlie Cate) wanted me to get everything.
So I did.
If you would give me you home address, it would be easier to send copies to
you that way.
I have pulled a lot of my information from the old "Flashback" Volumes. I
could spend 24/7 reading those books. There is so much interesting
information. There is also a place in Bentonville, Arkansas called the
"Peal House" that might have some information. I haven't yet checked
there. I am hoping that I can spare some time to go.
Peter Sr and Jr. were very well known in Washington County. In fact, Peter
Jr. helped survey and build Fayetteville, Arkansas. They were both what you
would call "Legends".
I could go on and on about this, so I will shut up and send this email to
you.
Charlie will look in his Cemetery book and the exact location of the Reese
Cemetery and I will forward it to you.

Have read your comment and inspected your site. Both are quite informative.
You have an excellent presentation.
I would comment that your description of "treason" could have applied to
quite a number of people north and south of the border. George I was not a
popular king. Suppose it was more a point of view about who was the rightful
ruler.
It is at this point only a historical consideration

His father was John B. Mankin and I have an old and very good photo of
him. He was probably born in the 1880's. He did not marry my grandmother and
they parted ways. We have very little knowledge of him except his
photo. Your page is the first I have seen on Mankins. It would be nice to see if we are related. The mankin name is

My name is Leslie (Ingram) McVeigh. I am the g-grandaughter of Stephen
Sidney Mankins whos g-great grandfather was Peter Mankins Sr (b. Sep 19,
1770, d.1881). I have information that leads me to believe that his
father was John Mankins(b.Jan 1744/45 in Port Tobacco...), whos father
was Tubman Mankin(b.April 9, 1696 in Mankin's Adv., d.1748). I think
where I am getting confused is the surname spelling.
My uncle Stephen D. Mankins was doing all of the geneology many years
ago, and passed away in 1995. I do have all of the information that he
gathered but, unfortunately I have no where to turn to ask questions. I
have been told by his wife that he had believed that John Mankin had
picked up the 's' from the Mankin's Adventure.. But I am not too sure,
since your site only goes to John Mankin(s), and only lists Peter as a
son. That would be my direct line to George Mankin.
I have also been recording all of the other Mankin family, and have a
question that I was hoping you could help me with. I have one of the
sons of Joseph W.(probably Wright) and Elizabeth(Kent) as being Joseph
b.1850 in Byron, Oh d.1879 m. Zoe Knight on 14 Jan 1872. Then I have a
son from Joseph and Susan(Metz) as being Joseph b. 1849 m. Zoe P.
Knight. Sorry for the confusion, but am a little confused myself! Any
information at all would be very helpful! Thank you for your time!!

Hi, Michael. I have a slightly different e-mail address now. My own
mailbox, not my husband's. It is lmaranic@home.com in the event you
wish to update your addresses.
A note on the controversial Joseph Mankin, born in Bryan, Ohio c.1850.
The one married to Zoe Knight belongs to my Joseph W. Mankin and
Elizabeth Kent.
However, according to Phyllis Cline there is another Joseph Mankin who
was the son of Joseph M. Mankin and Susan Metz. HE was born June 21,
1849 and was married to Elisa (Nannie Louisa) Durk, who was born in Ohio
in April 1848.
Since these two Josephs are about the same age, it would be easy to
confuse them. I haven't seen your web site recently, but that would
explain the 2 Joseph Mankins who were listed in the same generation with
two different families. MINE is the one married to Zoe Knight.
Thanks again for everything. Linda.

an obsession now - have The Family Tree Maker program which sure makes
it easier to keep track of everyone! Am taking a genealogy course, too,
which puts me in touch with many good resources. It was YOUR website
over a year ago that got me "hooked". Thanks for everything. Linda.
P.S. I have a (slightly) different address now that I have my own

Hi Michael! Happy Spring!
I have some corrections for your web site.
1) Under 3-5-3-1-2-1 Joseph Mankin and Susan Metz -- please remove
Joseph Mankin and Zoe Knight 3-5-3-1-2-1-5. He is NOT their son.
2) ADD the following information to Joseph Mankin and Elizabeth Kent:
3-5-3-1-3-1-8 Joseph Mankin, born June 26, 1850 in Bryan, Ohio.
Married January 14, 1872 in Bryan, Ohio to Zoe Peris Knight. He died
August 28, 1879 in Turner, Oregon.
Zoe Peris Knight was born April 7, 1854 in Bryan, Ohio. She died January
12, 1882 in Turner, Oregon.
Their children: 3-5-3-1-3-1-8-1 Nettie Maud Mankin, born July 18,
1872. Died as an infant.
3-5-3-1-3-1-8-2 Glenn Lavelle Mankin, born October 7, 1873 in Turner,
Oregon. Went off to war (Spanish-American? WWI?) and was not heard
from again.
3-5-3-1-3-1-8-3 Guy Clinton Mankin, born Febuary 20, 1877 in Turner,
Oregon. Died November 11, 1956 in Lebanon, Oregon. He was brought up
by a family named Morris after his young parents died. Married Sarah
(Sadie) Stanton in Oregon.
3-5-3-1-3-1-8-4 Iva Dell Mankin, born February 22, 1879 in Turner,
Oregon. Died December 30, 1907 in Philomath, Oregon. She was adopted
by E.W. and Hattie A. Durkee in 1882, after her parents died. Was
married to a man named McDonald, and had 2 daughters before she died.
I think it is SO important to have all facts on the web-site as accurate
as possible. That is why I am always questioning the sources of the
material. For example, I would LOVE to know who researched the children
of 3-5-3-1 William Mankin and Violet Kent. That is as far back as I can
be sure, but I'm not even TOTALLY sure of these children. I sure wish I
could find out where that information is located -- i.e. all the
children of 3-5-3-1. AH WELL -- I will continue working on it.
Thanks for keeping the MANKIN name afloat. I have run out of male
Mankins in MY family. Too bad. Warm regards to you. Linda.

Hi, Michael! I picked up a couple of corrections for you, when you are
working on your website:
3-5-3-1-3-1 Joseph Mankin died in ALLEGAN County, not Allegany.
3-5-3-1-3-1-9 Her names was LAVINA OR LAVINIA, not Levina or Lovina.
3-5-3-1-3-1-2-5 Harlan Mankin's wife's name was MENETTE, NOT Minette.
I assume that you received all the great stuff I found about about
Joseph Mankin who was married to Zoe P. Knight?? Thay became the
Turner, Oregon branch. He does NOT belong to Susan Metz.
When do you update your site? I watch it with interest. Many thanks!

Dear Michael,
Here are more corrections for you to do when you update your site:
3-5-3-1-7 Mary MUMMERT
3-5-3-1-7-1 George M. Mankin, killed in Civil War, in attack on supply
train , near Chattanooga on October 8, 1863. Married Mary Ann Rukinbrod
on October 27, 1853. He left 4 children:

3-5-3-1-7-1-2 Jonathan David Mankin, b. 21 July 1856 in East Fairfield,

This is painstaking research gotten through records from the National

I am making a nuisense of myself, but I hope you will make the
corrections that I am sending along as I find out.
Bet you are sorry you ever started this Mankin website! Ha.

Are you running for a polical office, Michael?! That must take a LOT of
time. Which office is it? Keep us posted.
Please let me know when you have this new information on the site. I
love the way it looks - the colors - etc., - it is all very clear.
Corrections:
Remove 3-5-3-1-2-1-5 He is in the WRONG place.
He STAYS where you also have him at 3-5-3-1-3-1-8. I have lots of
information on his 3 children, but think I have sent it to you already.
They are all in and around Turner, Oregon. Since he and his wife Zoe
died young, their 3 children were adopted out.
At 3-5-3-1-3-1 Joseph W. Mankins - he died in Hopkins, Michigan on
September 12, 1903.
Thanks, Michael - and good luck on your race!! Linda.

3-5-3-1-3-1-8 in the 7th generation. Will it be long before you post the most recent info? I have
found so much on Joe and Zoe Mankin. Would love to see it there.
He does NOT belong to Joseph Mankin and Susan Metz. It pains me to see him there, as people accept that info as
"gospel." Many thanks for all your efforts!! Linda.

Thanks, Michael! OR . . . . Maybe Susan Metz DID have a son named Joseph, but he is not the one married to Zoe
Knight!! Don't get too overworked - politics can take its toll! Linda.

Hi Michael!
I love what you have done with the website. Love the picture of
Benjamin Mankin, and the one of the Sultana. Where did you get the one
of the Sultana? (You told me already where you got Benjamin). I have one
of the Sultana which I was going to put in my genealogy when it is
completed, so was delighted that you put that item of history on your
site.
Under 3-5-3-1-3 George Mankin, you might like to add that SHE, Charity
Jane Wright, died in Hopkins, Michigan on August 3, 1870.
Cemetery is spelled "cemetery" whenever it is used. Sometimes it is
mis-spelled "cemetary" as I used to spell it that way!
I have written to Sharron Mankin Nelson to ask her if she wishes to give
you permission to use her name in your website. I gave her your e-mail
address, and you may hear from her.
Thanks again for all your hard work! Linda.

Hi Michael! PLEASE POST THIS WHEN YOU CAN. It took me months to ferret
out all of this information. I have MUCH more, but all the descendents
have surnames that are not "Mankin" and I believe that you do not want
those. Am I right???
Here is the info on Joseph Mankin and Zoe Knight:
3-5-3-1-3-1 Joseph W. Mankin - please add: died 12 September 1903 in
Hopkins, Michigan.

Portland, Oregon. Married Mark Frederick Nelson on 14 December 1968 in
Palo Alto, California.
Here are a couple of other corrections you might want to make:
In 8th Generation:
3-5-3-1-3-1-2-3 Inez Maude Manking DID marry Ralph Edwards. Remove the
question mark.
3-5-3-1-3-1-2-5 Harlan Sanford Mankin. It was HE who died on 16
January 1969 and not "she".
3-5-3-1-3-1-2-2 Ernest Mankin was born 22 January 1877 in Lafayette,
Indiana and died 16 February, 1938 in Fremont, Michigan. He married
Birdie Adella Smith 6 June 1900 in Chardon Ohio. Their children:

Rapids, Michigan. Died 13 September 1985 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

3-5-3-1-3-1-2-2-6 Betty Mae Mankin, b. 11 November, 1919. Died May
1921.
Will stop here for tonight. This finishes the Mankins that I have.
Other ones are different surnames because the children were daughters.
Thanks Michael, for all your efforts!! Linda.

Do you want me to send it to you again?

I have assembled my personal Mankin genealogy, with pictures and stories
of "The Frog Man's" Career. Have put it into a booklet for you if you
would like to have it. Maybe you do NOT wish to be a repository for all
the Mankin genealogies, but if this would interest you I would be happy
to send it along. However, if you say you don't want any more PAPER
around your house, I would certainly understand. Is easy to get
inundated. Wanted to ask you before I sent it.
Stay calm, and don't get tooooo busy. Seize the day! Warm regards,

Hi Michael!
I have some great pictures of the contortionist Harlan Sanford Mankin
(3-5-3-1-3-1-2-5) 8th Generation from Josiah. Would you like to have
some to choose from for your website? I would be happy to loan them to
you, but would like to have them back when you are finished with them.
He was a world class contortionist who travelled the world in the
1920's. Quite famous in vaudeville.
Let me know if I should mail them to you.
His wife's name is spelled "Menette" when you are doing corrections.
I see in the 8th generation you have only John Sanford Mankin' and
Joseph Mankin's issue. The others from the 7th generation also had
issue. I think I had better snail mail them to you so you can add them
to the website. Will do that when I send the pictures. Let me know if
you want them.
Isn't this a HUGE job!!?? Best regards, Linda

Mr. Mankin,
I saw your fantastic website. I am looking for some Charles Mankins' and
am getting confused about who's who in Fairfax county and Alexandria,
Virginia.
I am looking for Charles Mankin, born 1824 to unknown parents. He
married Sarah Jane Legg, daughter of Eli Legg/Jane Prince (which is line
I'm really working on) on 15 Aug 1850 in Alexandria. He died 15 Oct 1879
in Alexandria, and is buried in Union Cemetery there.
Two known children:
Charles Mankin born 1853 in Alexandria. Married about 1879 to Sarah
____.
Wallace W. (may be William) born 1856/7.
I did not see a master index on your site. I may have missed it. Do you
have information about these Mankins?
I was also interested to see the surname Hirst, as this is my maiden
name. My end of line person is Thomas Hirst, born 7 June 1836 in Loudoun
Co., VA to Edward Hirst and Mary Ebarhart. Does this sound at all
familiar?
Thank you very much,
Lisa Deason

Dear Mike: I have been awake most of nite thinking of your web site and
how you have given your dad much thanks and I know joy when he sees what you
have done.I was very close to Hubert all of our lives, I suspect you knew
this, as small kids our mother you to dress us as twins, back then they had
BUSTER BROWN outfits and we wore sameoutfits and shoes until we were about
seven. there was 23 months different in our age. Everywhere Hubert went I
wanted to go with him.You know tha when he worked on railroad that it was a
16 hr. job,most of time 6 days week.It was necessary for him to work at
Effingham account he made more money, I always wished he lived closer, I
remember he could not buy home for helping someone in family to keep up. He
give mon money for down payment on her home so she would have a home of her
own, yet he would do without also he helped me the time Douglas went to
Indianapolis for his operation, I tried to repay him and would do anything
that I could to help after he bought his home. He wasn't able to do much
repair so your mother done most of it. I remember when you caught polio how
she would work with you with exercises to keep you limbered up. I know how
he would talk to you at times to get you ralled up so not give up. He and your
mother have much to be pleased about the way you have battled this handicap
through no fault of anyone and have done so good. I believe if you had not
been tied down so to speak you would have been President some day if you
decided that was what you wanted. I know everbody pullled for you and prayed
for you and someday you will be General in GODS army. May you be strong and
able to do what you want to.Love , uncle Leonard You know I could tell you
so much more but you know alot about your family and also your mothers

I have been reading the Mankin family history you put on the web. It's amazing! I never knew my father
because he and my mother were only married for a total of 17 months. Probably only together for 10 to 11
months. Joseph A. Mankin married my mother ( Bessie Louise Moore or Atchley) at Gallup N.M. on July 1 ,
1944. He worked for the Santa Fe railroad in the mid 1940's in Arizona. I was born in Winslow , Arizona. I
think he was an engineer. Heard he died in the late 1950's. If you ever run into any info on him or I can help you
let me know.

Hi Bob & everyone!
I just knew this list would "take off" - there are 8 of us in one day and I haven't even contacted the folks I know
who are researchers "par excellence" of this line!
Bob, some of my favorite relatives (and a few chiggers I have met personally......) "hang out" in the old Jenks
Cemetery! I have been there many times..... My grandmother Edna went to school in Jenks and my g grandfather,
Frank (Francis Marion) Kirwin was Justice of the Peace there in the 20s... The Carpenter family (including Mary
Kirwin Carpenter) owned a small hotel out by the railroad. It is indeed *this* very line that is connected to
Mankins through Martha Jane Mills, daughter of Enos and Edith Mankins Mills. Our branch kinda did things "by
guess and by golly" and there seems to be a significant "lack" of documentation (not to mention a *whole
caboodle* of 7 month babies ;] what can I say....?
I haven't "officially" claimed this line yet because I can't so far close a 3 year gap.... but oboy, everything fits! The
fact that you are in Jenks gives me even more hope that I will soon figure this all out! You can see my research

Good Morning List! My great-grandmother was Isabella Jane Mankins Myers Fisher of Tunnelton, Preston
County, WV. She was born ca. 1875 to James Mankins & Sarah ???? (possibly Heavener). James & Sarah had six
children. "Aunt Belle" (according to my uncle, NO ONE called her Gramdma) married 1) Ulysses Grant Myers
and 2) William Sylvester Fisher (b.1872). Husband #1 died when a railroad tunnel collapsed, leaving her with a
small daughter (Mary Myers Cassidy) and a son (J.W. Myers) born a month after the accident. With Husband #2,
Belle had twin sons (Daniel & Joseph Fisher) and my grandmother, Nora Opal Fisher Biggins. I'd like to be able to
tie-in my Mankins connection to the rest of the stream (families always seemed more like rivers than trees to me).

I have in my files a Charles Edward MANKIN from Alexandria, Virginia. When
the Mankin(s) came to America from Scotland, there was no "s" on the end of
their name. As time went on, one of the family added the "s" and his line
spelled it with the "s" from that point on. However, some did not adopt the
new spelling and retained the original "Mankin"
Charles Edward Mankin, born July 24, 1839 in Alexandria, Virginia, married on
December 20, 1882 to Ann Valinda Lynch in Dulin Chapel Methodist Church,
South, Falls Church, Virginia. Charles Edwarn Mankin died on September 13,
1903 in Falls Church, Fairfax County, Virginia. Ann Valinda Lynch was born
on Decemb4er 14, 1860 in "Hill House", Falls Church, Virginia, died February
7, 1925 in Falls Church, VA.
The Father of Charles Edward Mankin was Mark matthew Mankin II and his mother
was Elizabeth Ann May.
Children of Charles Edward Mankin and Ann Valinda Lynch:
1. Ellen Elizabeth Mankin, born April 7, 1883 in Falls Church, Fairfax
County, VA; died October 14, 1903 in Bethesda, Montgomery County, Maryland.
She married Herbert Nelson Hirst.
2. Clinton Edward Mankin, born January 14, 1884 in Falls Church, Fairfax
County, VA; died May 9, 1918 in Falls Church. No information on his marriage.
3. Mary Marguerite Mankin, born March 10, 1888 in Falls Church, VA; died
March 12, 1891 in Falls Church, VA. No marriage info.
4. Linda Mae Mankin, born May 30, 1889 in Falls Church, VA. No death info.
She married Clarence Marshall Hirst.
5. Ruth Cackley Mankin, born April 14, 1896. She married Edgar Allen
Hilderbrand.
6. Charles Guy Mankin, born June 28, 1901 in Falls Church, VA. He married
Blanche Woodrow Miller.

I hope this helps you out. I have more information on ancestry, descendants,

Hello,
Does this article seem to imply that John Bracken Mankin once owned and
sold Carson City NV for $500 dollars and a few mustangs? Read the second
paragraph! This town became one of the richest in the West. Hope you
enjoy the story if you haven't read it before.

Archives and Records Management Nevada State Archives Historical Myth a
Month Myth # 24
Eagle Valley and Carson City
by Guy Rocha, Nevada State Archivist
No! Carson City is not in Carson Valley, despite what some uninformed
newcomers to our area may believe. We trust Myron Angel's History of
Nevada (1881) when we are told that Eagle Valley, where our state
capital is located, was named in December 1851. Eagle Valley acquired
its name from the trading post in the southwest end of the valley where
Frank Hall shot and killed an eagle, then stuffed the bird and mounted
it over the station entrance door. Hall, who sold his interest in Eagle
Station and Ranch in 1853, died in Carson City in 1902. Three years
before his death, Hall repeated the story of Eagle Valley's naming to
journalist Alfred Doten who published it in his history of Nevada's
capital.
But should we always trust Myron Angel's ground breaking work? The myth
in this story relates to the sale of Eagle Ranch in 1858 and the events
that immediately followed. Virtually every account of the transaction
has John B. Mankins selling the ranch, which composed a large portion of
Eagle Valley, to Abraham Curry, John J. Musser, Frank M. Proctor, and
Benjamin F. Green for a $1,000, "the payment being $500 coin and some
mustangs." The story is found in Angel's History of Nevada (pp.532-33)
and cites Carson City's Nevada Tribune of July 17, 1876. Doten, in
1899, claimed it was ". . . half a dozen mustangs."
Well, what's wrong with this story since the sources are relatively
contemporary to the event?! Abe Curry had been dead some three years
in 1876, Musser died in 1871, and Proctor and Green had left Nevada.
So who related this story to the newspaper, or had the myth of Abe Curry
and the founding of Carson City already begun? Clearly, it had!
If one examines the deed transferring the property from "J.B. Mankin[s]
to Curry, Proctor & Musser" on August 12, 1858, and filed with the
Ormsby County Recorder on June 11, 1862, a number of facts stand out.
First of all, B.F. Green, Frank Proctor's father-in-law, was not a
partner in the transaction, however he witnessed it and had the deed
recorded. Other reliable sources tell us that after the completion of
the deal, Proctor gave Green one-half of his one-third holding in the
Eagle Ranch. More importantly, while the selling price was $1,000, the
down payment was $300 and the balance was to be paid within thirty
days. There is no mention of mustangs in the deed, although that does
not rule out the possibility that Mankin later took the horses in lieu
of cash. Whatever the case, only Doris Cerveri, in writing her
biography of Abraham Curry (1990), ever examined the deed to confirm the
legal terms of the sale. Angel's account of the Eagle Ranch sale has
been repeated ad nauseam in publications, and now we find it broadcast
throughout the world on history-related websites.
It is also Angel's History of Nevada that gives Abe Curry the status of
Carson City's principal founder in 1858 and relegates Musser, Proctor,
and Green to the shadows. The truth be known, Curry would not emerge as
a mover and shaker in the new town until 1861 following Congress'
creation of Nevada Territory. John Musser and Frank Proctor, both
prominent attorneys in Sierra County, California before relocating to
western Utah Territory, were far more active than Curry in the political
effort to create a new territory. Musser, the former Sierra County
District Attorney who ran unsuccessfully for the California State Senate
in 1858, was selected as president of a constitutional convention in
July 1859. The objective: secede from Utah Territory and create a
provisional Nevada Territory. Following the convention in Genoa, he was
elected the provisional territory's delegate to Congress and travelled
to Washington, D.C. Proctor, the former Sierra County Assessor, while
serving as a convention delegate from the Humboldt District was chosen
as a vice-president and declared his candidacy for Chief Justice of the
Territorial Supreme Court. Curry, too, served as a delegate, yet the
records of the convention portray him as a minor player from Eagle
Valley.
Abraham Curry, the last to arrive to the California gold country and
Sierra County, was indeed the least prominent of the four men who laid
out Carson City in Utah Territory. Even Benjamin Green, who was not a
full partner in this business consortium, had recently served as Sierra
County Treasurer. Curry's business acumen and perseverance ultimately
propelled his career in eclipsing those of his partners prior to his
death in 1873.
Looking back, we can say that Curry clearly deserves to be called the
"Father" of Carson City for all he did to promote and develop the
town. However there were other principal players in the drama and
intrigue surrounding the purchase of Eagle Ranch, the founding of Carson
City, and the establishing of Nevada Territory that for too long have
been overshadowed by the much-deserved tributes to Abe Curry. Curry
has a statue on the legislative mall and a street name to remind us of
his accomplishments, Musser and Proctor only street names, and Green has
been all but forgotten.
Credit Myron Angel for shaping our perceptions over the years and, at
times, misleading us!

Hello list! I'm Pamela Biggins Mike (aka Pam) and my great-grandmother was Isabella Jane Mankins. She lived in
Preston County, WV and married 1) ???? Myers and 2) William Sylvester Fisher, my great-grandfather. By
husband #1, she had at least 2 children, Mary Myers Cassidy of Tunnelton, Preston Co, WV and "Junior" Myers of
Arthurdale, Preston Co, WV. By husband #2, she had at least 3 children, twins Daniel & Joseph Fisher (b.1902)
and my grandmother, Nora Opal Fisher Biggins (b. 1904). Nora died just after I was born & I'd like to know
anything I can about my family. I know Isabella's first husband died before "Junior" was born, he was one of the
men caught in a cave-in while building the Tunnelton train tunnel. Does anyone have these people in their
database? Thanks a lot.

Good Morning List! My great-grandmother was Isabella Jane Mankins Myers Fisher of Tunnelton, Preston
County, WV. She was born ca. 1875 to James Mankins & Sarah ???? (possibly Heavener). James & Sarah had six
children. "Aunt Belle" (according to my uncle, NO ONE called her Gramdma) married 1) Ulysses Grant Myers
and 2) William Sylvester Fisher (b.1872). Husband #1 died when a railroad tunnel collapsed, leaving her with a
small daughter (Mary Myers Cassidy) and a son (J.W. Myers) born a month after the accident. With Husband #2,
Belle had twin sons (Daniel & Joseph Fisher) and my grandmother, Nora Opal Fisher Biggins. I'd like to be able to
tie-in my Mankins connection to the rest of the stream (families always seemed more like rivers than trees to me).
Thanks in advance for any help.

The name 'Mankin' is common as mud in Russia, as my sister found when she
visited there. It is about as common as Smith or Jones in Britain.
In Britain the name is rare. Most people of that name are of Russian origin
and came over to both Britain and north America around 1900-1910.

The brick foundry has been gone since the 50's when the three men I mentioned

park now where it stood. Moving the place would be impractical I'd think as its
rather sprawlig, and the setting is so much a part of it. I think the owners
are holding out for a corporate benefactor but I don't think they'll have much

Hi Millie and Mike. My wife and I went to see the house yesterday. Boy, its a
long, sad story. I have the folder from the realtor with lots of info. If
you'd like I can mail you a copy. The house was completed over an approx.
fifteen year period by E. T. Mankin in 1924. He built it adjacent to his brick
foundry. This was convenient as he was a workaholic before being one was cool.
Before building the home he was known to stay at the foundry all week and only
go home on weekends. Interestingly, in all the paperwork I have, there is very
little mention of his family. No wonder.
The current property is only three acres, having been subdivided over the years.
The house is a sprawling Georgian Revival that E.T. is reputed to have designed
himself. Before getting into the brick trade he was a general contractor with a
penchant for architecture books. As you would expect it is a brick showplace.
In addition to the main house there's a farmer's cottage, a gardener's house, a
summer house, a garden cuppola, a barn, a bocce ball and tennis court, loads of
brick fencing creating multiple terraces, four fountains, a pond and cisrtern,
and much more that I'm probably leaving out.
The house has been broken up somewhat. The farmer's cottage is rented out.
The gardener's house and summer house are in the midst of renovation for rental.
The west wing of the main house is broken into two additional apartments and
there's a third apartment in the basement. You wouldn't think it, but this
doesn't really detract from the main house. There's still plenty of room.
There's a grand foyer, music room and living room as you come in the front door.
Its still pretty spectacular, but has seen better days.
Here comes the sad part. E. T.'s son, who was his likely heir, was killed in
WWI, before the house was completed. The house is sometimes known as Irwin
Estate(?) in his honor. When E.T. died in 1951 the house and foundry were
bought by three speculators who soon went bust. The house sat vacant for some
twenty years during which it was probably vandalized numerous times. There was
reputed to have been a large sculpted rooster and chicken made from brick in the
back yard that were destroyed during this time. Well, the current owners
bought the property in 1986 for $1 from a charitable organization with the
understanding that they would work to restore it. At best I'd say they kept it
from falling down but its far from restored. There are numerous places where
the slate roof has leaked and destroyed ceilings and woodwork. Much of the
brick work is crumbling and would be a full time job to restore. Lots of the
exterior wood is rotten. The gardener and summer houses are gutted and would be
a major project unto themselve's. It goes on and on. My wife and I are
heartbroken to have seen what could have been. We would loved to have seen it
eighty years ago.
My wife and I are looking for a grand property that we could live in and run a
specialty garden center from. The layout of this place is absolutely perfect.
Its just that it would literally be a full time job to keep this place from
falling down, even with the help of contractors. The big plus from the seller's
perspective is the potential $3,000 rental income it generates. In my eye this
is break-even money as it would not be hard to spend that on repairs each month.
Plus, the house is in a not so desirable part of town. This is not snobbery.
My wife grew up there and absolutely would not allow our three kids to attend
school there. She's worked too hard to get away from Highland Springs. Here's
the killer. The seller is asking $459,000 for it! Sure, maybe if it was fully
restored I'd consider it, but this place makes Tom Hank's "Money Pit" look like
the Taj Mahal. Its so-so sad. The way I see it, its like the rusting Lincoln
Continental I have in my backyard. If it was fixed up it would be worth $5,000.
Right now its not worth the towing charges to get rid of it. I wouldn't try to
sell it for $5,000 because that's what it would be worth some day.
Hope this wasn't to wordy. Write back with any questions.

Yes, Mankin and Mankins, Texas are one and the same. Samuel Mankins
moved to Georgetown, Texas and was the son of Peter and Rachel Bracken
Lewis. Samuel might have added the "s" as we have used that form of
Mankin since. Samuel was involved in land transactions as early as
1849. He was listed in 1850 census.He and wife Docia Williams came from
Madison Co., Ark. to Williamson Co. Texas in 1848 or 1849. Estate of
Samuel Mankins probate was filed 7-6-1881. Mankins Crossing was the
first crossing on the Chisholm Trail on the San Gabriel River. The
crossing does have a state historical marker placed on the site. Samuel
was a sporting man. One of the first recreational installations made
there was a race track and the first race was between Sam's mare
"Shadthy" ridden by his 12 year old son Henry, and a horse named "Old
Smoke." Samuel's son Issac Bracken was born in 1857 in Georgetown. His
son Issac Johnson was born December 7, 1898, also in Georgetown from a
second marriage. My father, Ervin was the eldest child of Issac J.,
born in 1921 and still living. He was a Lt. in the Air Corps in WWII
flying P-61 (Black Widow) in the Pacific. Joe Lee was the second son of
Issac J. and was a Radio Officer of the US Maritime in WWII. The third
child was a daughter, Verna Rose, a medical transcriptionist. My
father, Ervin was a Petroleum engineer before retiring. I'M the eldest
of Ervin's, followed by Judith, John, Thomas and Robert. As my father
was in the petroleum field, we moved frequently, often, and from coast
to coast. He was born in Belton, Texas and the four eldest children
were born in Texas, the youngest in California. We moved to Colorado in
1958 and have been here since then. Joe's children are still residents
of Houston.
Hope this hasn't been too boring, but seems as if no one has this side
of the Mankins family line. I believe that my g'father Issac J. had two
sons by a previous marriage, but as that generation goes, not much
information has ever been discussed.

Michael,
Hi. My name is Bobbi Laning. My maiden name is Mankin and I have been
doing Geneology research on Mankin for 7 years now. I recently visited,
"Mankins, Texas", and let me tell you there is alot to be desired there.
Not to mention that I couldn't find any history about the town from the
Dallas library. Your web site is very good. I have visited it several times.
I feel like so many other long lost Mankin cousins that I keep in
contact with feel that there is a few missing lines of Mankins. And it is
impossible to trace my line back to George Mankin (Ancestor), or even
Richard Mankin for that matter. I thought for a long time that I was linked
to Stephen through Tubman then Charles (1733-1810) then another Charles came
after that, though I cannot prove that either. Then, I was stuck on the
point that I maybe follow the Mankins from Baltimore (on your web site, I
went to Greenmount Cemetery in Baltimore and took lots of pictures of the
grave site of Charles and Mary Mankin), but still I havn't been able turn up
anything there either. So, I am still stuck where I am, and seven years
later and no lead in sight.
My current line goes like this, Bobbi Laning (Me) Maryland; Robert
Mankin (My Dad)1943 Maryland; Charles Mankin (1) 1911-1967 Maryland; Charles
Mankin (2) 1882-1916 Virginia; Charles Mankin (3) 1853-1918 Virginia;
Charles Mankin (4) 1824-1879 Virginia.
This is where I stop, and I am missing approximately three lines of
Mankins that just don't seem to exist. I was going to settle for just
believing that I came from the line of Tubman Mankin, but I need more proof.
So, I continue to seek information about where my Mankin line connects. I
have correspondences from several Mankins who have shared with me their
lines.
Thank you for taking the time to read this long and drawn out email.
Please feel free to email me back at mailto:Laningwp@mindspring.com or you
can write me.

Thanks very much for your reply and for this information. I'll try to
follow up on it. How do you find time to do all this? I'm going to be out
of town for a week or so, and am in a crunch at work getting ready, but
when I get back, I'll try to get in touch with my cousin, John C. (who
recently moved from Memphis to Estes Park, CO) and gather the info from the
Mankin family Bible. Most of it, my father transcribed to some pages he
stuck in the Hendrick Bible, so I have the info if not the Bible.
I appreciate your efforts for the family.

Hi. I just discovered your beautiful site, www.mankin.org, and look
forward to exploring it thoroughly. I live in Boulder, Colorado, but my
branch of the Mankins are from Rutherford Co. (Murfreesboro), TN. My
grandfather, John Benton Mankin, married Annie Octavia Hendrick (5/21/89);
my father Jack Robinson Mankin (b. 6/17/04, d. 1/18/79) was the youngest of
three, and moved to Memphis around 1929. My sister Patty Hendrick Mankin
(b. 7/2/38, d. 4/19/79) and I (b. 9/2/40) were born there; I moved to
Boulder in 1969.
I have the Hendrick family Bible and have some records for some of their
forbears going back to ~1500, in Essex and Hertfordshire, coming to
Connecticut around 1650. I don't have Mankin records nearly so far back,
but my cousin has the Mankin family Bible and I plan to track down as much
info as I can there when I get a little time.
I'll try to get together what information I have on the Mankin branch and
send it to you; we'll see if the trees intersect somewhere.
In any event, it was nice to find your site, and I'll enjoy exploring it.
Thanks for making the effort to put it all together.
Yours truly,
William Gray (Bill) Mankin
