Biography

https://archive.org/stream/mannmemorialreco00mann/mannmemorialreco0...

According to "New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: ..., Volume 3" edited by William Richard Cutter, page 1301 [1] this Thomas Mann was an immigrant and NOT the son of Richard and Rebecca Mann of Hanover.

Thomas Mann, the immigrant ancestor, settled in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, and in Providence, Rhode Island. On March 26, 1676, during King Philip’s War, the battle at Rehoboth called “Pierce’s Fight” occurred. Fifty-two English and eleven friendly Indians were killed, and one hundred forty of the opposing Indians lost their lives. The affair was very desperate, as shown by the fact that the English fought in a ring back to back for two hours against overwhelming odds, having only eleven surviving white men, among them Thomas Mann, who received a severe wound. [note: some sources say the only survivors were Thomas Mann and a few friendly Indians] On March 7, 1682, he was fined ten shillings for Sabbath breaking. He was surveyor of highways June 9 1683, and on February 7 1689 his name was on the list of inhabitants of Rehoboth. On January 20, 1693, he bought a farm in Providence of Ephraim Pierce of Rehoboth and soon after settled on it. Another Thomas abt 1650 of Rehoboth, married a Rachel Bliss who died at the same time as their daughter. There is a story that she had assisted an injured or destitute Indian, who, when he recovered murdered both mother and child. Another record says she was killed in an Indian attack on the entire town, with many persons killed. This same Thomas then married a daughter (Mary?) of the Wheaton family. [note: this is actually our Thomas]
