Hello Robert,
Here is an excerpt from a Monroe County History Book. Many members of the Mann family lived in or near the village of Malaga.
I do not specifically research the Mann family nor do I keep many records, although I do have a distant connection which has led me to look at some data. A look at early land records will show many Mann's as property owners there, including Peter Mann, circa 1820 or so.
There is an extensive Mann compendiun at the Library in Barnesville, Belmont County, Ohio. If memory serves me, I think that you will find that the family may have migrated from Chester County, Pa., as did many other families in that area. It is also possible that they may have been Quakers.
Good Luck....
