HANSELL, MANESS, VINT, ALLEN, MCBRIDE, WANN, GOFF, HAMLINARKANSAS, MISSISSIPPI, ILLINOIS, TENNESSEE

My Grandfathers name was Benjamin Franklin MANESS born October 14, 1888 in Pope Mississippi. His parents names were Jack MANESS and Martha HANSELL married abt 1886, they also had a daughter named Lillie. I would love to find more information on my great-grandparents Jack and Martha. Family history states that G-Grandpa Jack MANESS drowned in Mississippi, I don't know what happened to G-Grandmother Martha. Would dearly love to have some facts.

Also, trying to find the names of my Great-Grandmother's
parents, her name was Nancy Elvira ALLEN born in 1856 in Mississippi. She was married twice married a man with the last name of WOOD they had a daughter Fannie A. WOOD born August 1885 in Arkansas. Then Nancy married Andrew J. VINT in Arkansas abt 1888 they had a daugher Zettie Florence VINT.

Looking for information on my G-G-G-Grandparents Ishom GOFF
and Sabrina(Sarena) McBRIDE married January 21, 1831 in
Rhea County, Tennessee. Would love to know their parents
names, or any new information. Family oral history states
that Sabrina(may be)Sarena was a full blood Cherokee and
her husband Ishom and the first of thier children was on
the Trail of Tears. They ended up living in Arkansas and
Missouri that we know of.
