Excerpt from Genealogy of the Mann Family It is interesting and of some importance to know who were our progenitors, where they lived, what were their occupations, and what were their characters. It is a blessing to have an honorable, virtuous and godly parentage. Many precious, divine promises are recorded respecting the posterity of such succeeding generations. The good examples, the usefulness, the social virtues and Christian faithfulness of such persons greatly benefit those of their own time, and are adapted to excite those who come after them to a commendable course of action. Of the Mann family in England we know that it was highly respectable, and was honored on several occasions in successive periods of royal favor. Individuals filled important offices under the government, and secured public confidence and esteem by their fidelity in the performance of duty. In an ancient folio book of heraldry, in Redwood Library, in Newport, R. I., there is a fac-simile of the coat-of-arms, accompanied with a description of it, and on whom conferred. It is as follows: "Sable on a Fesse counter embattled, between three goats passant argent, as many ogresses, is borne by the name of Mann, and was granted to Edward Mann, of Ipswich, in Suffolk, England, sometime comptroller of his majesty's post of Ipswich, the 2nd of March, 1692." In a similar book of heraldry, in Boston, the writer found the same coat-of-arms conferred on Lord Cornwallis, whose family name was Mann. Thus, "Mann, Earl Cornwallis, Viscount Brome, Baron Cornwallis of Eye, Suffolk, and a Baronet. Motto, Virtute vincent invidiam."
