Currituck County. Lewis was the son of Thomas Mann and
Harriet Meekins who lived on Roanoke Island at least from 1832 until
after the 1850 census was taken. Lewis was 1st married to Matilda
Wescott in Currituck Co. on April 13, 1854. No known children came
from this union. He married for a 2nd time to Penelope Midyett
in Tyrrell Co., NC on Oct. 2, 1862. Penelope died in March of 1870 and
as far as this researcher knows, there were no children from this union.
On Oct. 5, 1870 in the new county of Dare, Lewis married for the third time
to Sarah Elizabeth Mott. Sarah was born in Queens, NY on Feb. 2,
1840 to Willett & Sarah Mott. She died in Norfolk, VA on May 2,
1909 and is buried in Magnolia Cemetery in Norfolk. Lewis and Sarah
had 5 children who were all born on Roanoke Island, Dare Co. They

(1874-1920); Eliza Chapman "Lida" Mann (1875-1960); Harriet Easter
