  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	John Mannen, Sr.             d. Abt 1822, Mason Co., Kentucky   (2 x Great Grandfather)  Margaret Thompson           b. 20 Feb 1773, Virginia           d. 4 Jun 1833, Bracken Co., Kentucky  (Age 60 years)  (2 x Great Grandmother)
  Notes	One grand-daughter's memory of her is that she was incredibly soft and warm when she hugged you. She made biscuits every morning for breakfast. She was killed in a terrible accident at Essex Farm. She got out of the car at the Walnut Tree gate to open the gate, and her husband's foot slipped, sending the car into her and killing her instantly. He wrote in a letter later that summer, "I will never forgive myself."
